Wilcox had some good moments last year, but took the previous season off because it wasn’t a contract year. This is a guy who “oversleep” often and didn’t get to practice (10am) or make team buses because of it…something I and no one else I know who is responsible has ever done…I truly don’t understand the concept.

If you could sign the Wilcox we saw last season working hard as an athletic freak of a big man, we should have done it! But they had two years to evaluate his work ethic and didn’t offer him a contract…what does that tell you? How about the 7 minutes per game he’s getting in Boston with multiple DNPs?

Monroe and Wilcox had developed some great chemistry late last season. This was another off-season blunder with our lack of physical presence inside!

After hearing this and being puzzled as to why they didnt resign him when he could have been had for cheap I believe the pistons said to themselves then that they were going to “tank” the season and go with the young guys. There is a lot of disagreement over how long they signed Prince as the veteran presence but if they amnesty BG they wont have anyone making over 8.5 million a year over the next 3 years. There wont be anyone that is grossly overpaid ala Joe Johnson or Rashard Lewis as they reshape the roster. Problem is that aint happening until the off season by the look of things. At least I can comment on these forums to take some of the pain away.

Damn it Joe. Wilcox was a solid piece – a gem, in the current Pistons’ situation. Gah I liked Wilcox, he and Monroe had some good stuff going on last year.

Yeah they might have considered trying to sign him instead of acting like Tracy re-signing was ever an option. He’s certainly another big man who could have been a decided upgrade.

wilcox and monroe were pretty good together last season.
