Comments on: The Pistons actually have a player who is not in the “LOL” section of Bill Simmons’ annual trade value column http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/03/the-pistons-actually-have-a-player-who-is-not-in-the-lol-section-of-bill-simmons-annual-trade-value-column/ Your Go-To Source For Pistons Coverage Sat, 25 May 2013 17:29:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: tarsier http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/03/the-pistons-actually-have-a-player-who-is-not-in-the-lol-section-of-bill-simmons-annual-trade-value-column/comment-page-1/#comment-58004 tarsier Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:53:08 +0000 http://www.pistonpowered.com/?p=9378#comment-58004 Perhaps I harp on this too much, but there are a ton of good PGs in the league. In a 2010 redraft, I feel like Monroe has to go #1. Wall may be the better player. But this is similar to how I would rather start a franchise with Dwight Howard than Russel Westbrook. Who has more talent? I don't know. Who has more value? The C over the PG every time. You gotta take Cousins and Wall 2nd and 3rd in some order, and after that, it's a steep drop-off to whoever gets taken 4th.

Barea, Michael Beasley, Rick Adelman) or a lousy one (Johnny Flynn, Wes Johnson, Martell Webster, Darko's last contract, Kurt Rambis, only re-signing Love for three years instead of five) with no in-between." Who would have thought that Dumars and Kahn would be compared to each other 6 years ago? Does the reality that this makes so much sense mean Kahn is getting better or that it is time for us to send Dumars packing?

I think a strong case for #1 but not past 3 If the 2010 draft were redone where would Monroe go? I think a strong case for #1 but not past 3
