Comments on: For Greg Monroe, Pistons to progress, defense must get way better http://www.pistonpowered.com/2011/12/for-greg-monroe-pistons-to-progress-defense-must-get-way-better/ Your Go-To Source For Pistons Coverage Tue, 21 May 2013 11:10:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Youssif http://www.pistonpowered.com/2011/12/for-greg-monroe-pistons-to-progress-defense-must-get-way-better/comment-page-1/#comment-40318 Youssif Sat, 31 Dec 2011 17:46:35 +0000 http://www.pistonpowered.com/2011/12/for-greg-monroe-pistons-to-progress-defense-must-get-way-better/#comment-40318 Give BG starting time, as much PT as possible hoping his numbers start to look good. Then trade him for a competent big guy to a team dumb enough to have him. Amnesty Maxiell (used to say CV or BG, but Maxiell barely deserves a minimum salary at this point). Tank the season, draft big, erase this season from memory.  I'm just thankful we only have 63 games left... Give BG starting time, as much PT as possible hoping his numbers start to look good.

Over a guy that gives you 22 off the bench 10 last night and growing to be a double double guard hmmmmm yeah I really trust that guy. Looks like my speed core was working (look at yesterdays article "pistions need to add more speed") but as usual coach put the guys in too late for a decent comeback hopefully frank gets the picture real soon before he loses the loyal fans that the pistons do have left.

Or T-Mac? Or Summers or White? I'm confused. Wait, are you referring to Rip as last year’s best player? Or T-Mac? Or Summers or White? I’m confused.

Can someone tell me what leadership is? In this context of course. I know what normal leadership is. Cuz it seems to me that in basketball, being a leader means being really good and people liking you or being old and people liking you. What does Rose or Fisher do that Lebron doesn't? Why does Stuckey talk about being a leader and others talk about him not being a leader? Is it just cuz he isn't good enough? Or are there other things he is expected to do that would qualify as leadership? And if so, how many could the fans actually even know about? I would assume that most of these things would take place in the locker room or practice or whatever, not on the court. But again, I don't know, because I don't know what these mysterious basketball leadership things are. So many people talk about leadership in players. Can someone tell me what leadership is?

I never watched the pre-Isiah Pistons, but this group is certainly the worst in MY lifetime. They're just dreadful. All the hope that this team could be the 2nd coming of the Carlisle-led Pistons is just craziness. They are SO bad. I know it's only 3 games, but all the signs of permanent ineptitude are present.  I can't see how Gores allows Dumars to keep his job. He may give Dumars through the trading deadline... but that should be it. This team needs a fresh start, and that starts with the Prez. Of course, Dumars limited his ability to create a fresh start by throwing millions of dollars at Prince and Stuckey. Thank goodness Stuckey's only got 3 years. Prince may be here for the long haul. Next off-season: - Trade Stuckey - Amnesty Gordon - Attempt to trade Prince - Waive Maxiell Then you're at worst only stuck with the Prince and Charlie V contracts. Agreed.

Next off-season:
- Trade Stuckey
- Amnesty Gordon
- Attempt to trade Prince
- Waive Maxiell

Then you’re at worst only stuck with the Prince and Charlie V contracts.

If we are going to play for the draft, we might as well start now. BG and Prince need to be traded for a quality big, we have the other parts we just need to play them the right way. Will Bynum is not a starter but he for sure is not a 12th man, Frank needs to figure this out now and not an entire season (like last year). The next few games will decide the future of the team.
