Still if it has come to that point that nobody wants CV then unless you tie him to a 1st rounder then he is with us for the next 3 years no doubt :-( I know nobody wants Charlie but just thought if they didn’t want Blatche either and nobody else wanted Blatche then the 1 less year on CV’s deal might be the carrot that could get a deal done.

Just like last year with the other bone head coach. These players want to play and when the coaches they provide them with have no clue, this happens. Seems like with the record they have, they would be trying anything and everyone but with two boneheads running things......well, we know the rest. Saw it for 3 years now. This new owner deserves more then this. He needs to ship Dumars out an get a winning coach, like Laimbier. Sounds familiar don’t it. Just like last year with the other bone head coach.

Nobody wants Charlie. “Open” to moving him doesn’t mean it’s their preference, and I doubt they’d do it unless it brought back something they want. Nobody wants Charlie.

Surely he'd be a helluva lot better than Daye right now. Who knows why he's really being held out, but if it's not for a trade (which seems like a total fantasy) or injury, then it seems to me he's being seriously misused.

I must admit I haven't seen enough of Blatche but he surely cannot be any worse than CV. The Wizards publicly stated last week that they are open to moving him so it might be worth a try. Looking at stats alone Blatche has the better numbers so the only <strong>incentive</strong> they would have is that CV has 1 less year to run on his contract than Blatche. I think CV has 3 years on his deal to run while Blatche has 4 years. The <strong>incentive</strong> for the pistons would be that they get a player that is performing better than CV and while they do take on the extra year this might be the only way out of getting some kind of value out the deal we gave CV. Once again i will admit that i don't know much about Blatche but i thought it might be worth bringing up one of those lateral thinking moves that could make us slightly better. Thoughts???

Dude are YOU SERIOUS!! 

Moving on, sorry CV there is no excuse when you have the best trainer in the league at arms length everyday.  I know you want to show everyone you just don’t shoot three’s but come on.  Find a team that needs you.

There's probably a mutual cloud of shame over Charlie and the organization that he's utterly worthless and should be shipped to the glue factory. The notion that he's inactive until he can pull his weight (or at least contribute enough to supplant Max in the rotation) saves a little face for everyone. And Lord Jesus is there some face that needs saving! Now YOU might actually be onto something.

WTF dude. I don't know what it is with people. Optimism? Delusion? Every time somebody has been injured or held out of the lineup for the past three seasons, a handful of people jump to the conclusion that it means they're about to be traded, and the Pistons haven't executed a trade since dumping Afflalo and Amir in 2009. I can't be 100% certain that the Pistons do not have a trade in the works for Charlie V, but THEY DO NOT HAVE A TRADE IN THE WORKS FOR CHARLIE V. It makes no sense. Nobody wants him, so we'd have to basically do a bad trade and take on another crap contract, and Joe isn't going to execute any trades that leave ostrich-sized egg on his face. He's frozen because he has no good options, and he won't make any bad moves besides "stand pat" because, at the very least, standing pat leaves him with all the ridiculous bullshit excuses everybody makes on his behalf. Let's just all not hold our breath for any moves. The fact that paying Rip ten million dollars to take a hike speaks volumes about the options Joe left himself with. 'Nuff said.   @Hayes: Dude's a loafer with a lot of weight on those legs and no discipline. He's probably due for a long string of unexplained lower body injuries. That's all you need to know. @frankie d: A trade?? WTF dude. I don’t know what it is with people. Optimism? Delusion?
