Have you watched any of the MSU vs OSU games? When Singler has some good defense on him he is worthless. Oh yea maybe you all are correct he may be good in the NBA after all… I do not even watch the NBA anymore… The NOTHING BUT me ALL the time league has turned into a huge joke!!!

Also all the basketball players should be so happy that I am not a coach as there would be no in show boating for the camera or acting like he just won the championship when he hit a shot. Yes I want toughness, I want grit and I want hustle I do not want show boaters and people modeling for the camera. You get paid to play basketball and you get paid a heck of a lot more than any of the comm-enters on this site and I bet most sites. Do that play basketball, play with pride be happy when you do good but you have not done or won one darn thing you only made a basket or a three or drawn a foul nothing more…

Too bad there aren’t any midget leagues that would be interested in Daye and Villenueva for a sharp point guard.

They need to get whatever they can out of Daye, because he certainly doesn’t have a future with us!

Daye + Ben Gordon for Andres Biedrins?
I think Don Nelson killed Biedrins’ confidence — the guy showed some flashes early in his career. Maybe a change of scenery can revitalize him. I’m not saying he’s even probable to make that happen, but I think it could be worth offering CV or BG along with Daye to see if we can land Biedrins.. can’t imagine GS is trying to hold onto him at this point and BG would be a solid sixth man (his best position) backup to Klay Thompson. Who says no?

as far as i can see… BG can still be traded… but not CV… so if Daye and BG get traded.. then it will return something like say….. bad contract but a PF.. then lets take a chance… and maybe lets get to know what might that be…

of course prince is a better player than daye.
he’s a 10 year vet who’s been a starter for …what…8 seasons.
obviously prince is going to be a better player, and he should be a better player, even in his advanced age.
the idea is that you invest in the future by, perhaps, sacrificing a win or two wins or 5 wins so that young players get playing time and develop.
the idea that daye has been given a legitimate opportunity to do so in detroit – while a veteran player has filled the spot he is supposed to have played and a series of other vets have also cut into his time – is simply inconsistent with the facts.
i guess we will get to see whether that course of action makes sense.
in the next few years, daye will play somewhere. and we will see if he bombs out of the league or whether he establishes a niche in the league. and whether the pistons organization has just repeated a pattern with him that it repeated several times with other young players.
the most ridiculous aspect of the entire fiasco, however, is the idea of dumping young players while they are at the nadir of their value, because you’ve glued them to the bench.
its a dumb thing to do and its, unfortunately something that joe d has refined into an art form.
in fact, from here on, it should be called the “joe d dump”.
what is the joe d dump?
drafting a player…giving that sporadic playing time, while signing limited veterans who are always going to be a little better than a rookie or young player still learning the ropes…putting word out that you’re disappointed in that player’s development and that the player is unwanted…then when the player is at the lowest value he’ll probably ever be at, until his last years, trade him for 50 cents on the dollar.
and then cry about the fact that you stay in the lottery for 4 or 5 years. it just happens, you say…no one is to blame!
yep…that’s how you do the joe d dump.

have any names been circulated? Would love to know what was not good enough for Austin. I would trade him for a crisp 1 dollar bill!
