Max just looks lost and the only time he gets the ball is either if a rebound falls in his lap or if Tay (his boy) passes him the ball on offense only to miss what should be an easy lay up or jump shot. Its hard to watch him and only seems to be getting minutes because charlie v is out and I hope you're right and never have to sit through a game watching us play 4 on 5 basketball! Last night we played a good game and I hope to see it continue but Joe please let Max go and lets let the younger guys play and let them develope a real leader on the team and not try to force one of the vets to take on the role when all they want to be is a role player.

Most likely, all of those guys end up as stiffs. But if you sign one, give him some minutes in your weak frontcourt and one of them turns into a rotation caliber guy, it's worth it. If they guy sucks, it's not like you've invested a ton. The Pistons need to be looking for players wherever they can find them at this point.</p> “My prevailing thought is “what’s the point”?”

With Villanueva back, I would assume we'll see less of Maxiell. Not that seeing more of Villanueva is such a great alternative though.</p> Early on, I think it was because Villanueva was out with his suspension.

Maybe they just looked into him and decided he wasn't worth it? It's not like they missed out on Bill Russell here or something.</p> If a team signed Fesenko then pulled the contract after realizing he was in poor health or bad shape, how is it bad that the Pistons bowed out?

Can't find the exact deadline but it's about a week before the start of the season. Maybe when training camp starts. Yup.
