If said team (thats not the Pistons) gets the 1st pick and is in need of a center, then your not getting him. Even if said team isn't in dire need of a center/power forward, then they would still draft him and try and trade or amnesty someone who's already on said roster and put Anthony Davis in there..Especially when said 1st pick/center is being considered to be a true potential franchise changer. It would take a real bone-head running an organization to deal the 1st pick in this draft. They're plenty of bone-heads in this league, but not in this scenario. It's not impossible for the Pistons to land at the top, but with each win that the Pistons returning vets are getting this organization, it makes it improbable.  It would be much better if they would just play Austin Daye and Vernin Macklin in the rotation, to develop young talent for the future as promised which would probably contribute to more lottory balls, but that's not how this team operates.

Probably depends on who gets the first draft pick, but honestly I'd say anybody but Monroe should be offered for Davis...

He's really not bad if the Pistons pick 8th or lower I think you have to really consider this kid and if we can get big Ben back for 1 more season as a mentor this kid can be an elite shot blocker at the NBA level and would be the perfect fit next to MOOSE........

For the most part Im seeing a bunch of games vs. Charlotte, NJ, Washington, Cleveland...These teams are so awful, I don't even think the Pistons could tank if they tried.

Considering Anthony Davis would be perfect for the Pistons (yes, he'd be perfect for a lot of teams...), would it be unreasonable to think we'd have a chance at trading up to get him? Who would have to land the top pick for that to be a likely scenario? Agreed on the title, good stuff.

They're what we need. I think they're going to be still available at those possitions. Apart from those two players plus Davis (and maybe Drummond) there's no one else I'm really interested in (regarding our first-round pick, of course) Going to be in May, but date still TBD.  If we can pick Zeller or Henson at those spots it would be ok for me too.

I laughed out loud when I saw it I'm going to the game tonight cause my friend scored some really good seats from his boss at work, so I'm hoping we pull it off tonight. I'm not for tanking cause I want to see our team grow, plus losing on purpose doesn't sit well with me anyways. The Wizards are a lock, baring bad luck in the lotto, to get a top 3 pick at the  rate they're going. Hopefully we can get a good player in the 7-9 range like we did the past 2 seasons, like maybe Zeller, Henson, Barnes (if he falls) or PJ III. btw does anybody know when the actually lotto is?
