Hamilton was unhappy here. No Chauncy to set him up and Kuester was way over his head. Now we shall see what Stuckey is made of. Me, my hopes are not set too high. But he is young and as pointed out, some of the older guys are gone, and the new guys are playing hard. Heck, even Maxiel is busting his behind. I think he will word with Knight. If nothing else it is to his benefit as he is not a real point guard anyway. His best position is shooting guard anyway, he has a generous contract, and if the Pistons can add a couple big guys....who knows?  Maybe they will become competitive. Anyway, I am glad to see a good coach here, the team is playing hard, (and losing - that is a good thing) and headed for another lottery pick.  What a difference from last year.

Probably the classiest thing he's done since he's been here. Well that’s nice of Stuckey to stay and work out with Knight when he will be traded to Portland for a 1st rounder.

Any positive post on this board is always bound to make them crazy and they will defend any negative post to the death. Stuckey's opinion on whether he wanted to remain here this summer doesn't necessarily speak to whether he wants to remain here now after signing and while it is clear to me that he hated Kuester, it is also clear to me that Frank is a coach who never inspires player animosities.  Stuckey is not as someone said on a short term contract either unless your opinion is that anything that isn't a max year contract is short term and he stated that starting isn't an issue to him which doesn't sound at all like a player who is oriented to play for his next contract or like one who isn't committed to what is best for the team.

He said that he wants to become more of a leader, but how do we know the inner workings of the team?? He is more vocal on court. You can see him constantly talking to the other players. He has been looking to pass and stopped bullrushing as much as he used to (which could be seen as a leader looking to get his teammeates involved). i also remember him attending the last summer league to support the younger members of the team, which is not done by many players. I'm not saying you're wrong, but i don't think there's evidence to say you're completely right. As far as his production goes, he's improved each year. This year his numbers aren't great, but his jumpshot looks much better and as i mentioned he is looking to pass more. about him being in Detroit... who knows. The whole twitter thing was reflected really bad on him, but if the team plays well and has solid young guys coming up, why wouldn't he want to stay?? Frank seems to be doing well and by all reports the players are buying in. Good coach, young stars/core to play with, opportunity for a big role.... it's not a bad if he stays.

I would argue it was not prideful veterans that undercut Stuckey as a coaching staff (or head coach because the staff couldn't seem to agree among themselves) that tried some sort of incompetent not to mention demented Larry Brown process of breaking down the point guard to build him up again that undercut him. In the name of running an offense that obscured Stuckey's strengths and magnified his weaknesses just for the sake of science or something. Stuckey does seem to have an affection for Knight, it shows in the interaction on the court and the fact that they are already playing well together. So I say more power to them both.

And who could blame him? He's on a short-term contract and could stand to boost his value (with the Pistons and in general). 1) Stuckey is ALL FUCKING TALK.
