Assuming you’re right that Drummond would be off the board; And if Henson isn’t really the best fit; and Leonard is too big of a reach… why not Zeller? I’d much rather have a reliable bigman playing to the utmost of his ability than Rivers.

You’re kidding me right? On what earth is that a good trade? Salmons and Maggette by themselves are alright backups, both of them together would be terrible. In the rest of the article they have Golden State taking Drummond because no one else is available for them. They go on to say that they wouldn’t be surprised to see Joe D select Rivers at 9 which would be a joke, however both Simmons and Ford agree that Henson is a terrible choice for the Pistons, he’s 216 pounds and Leonard is a much better athlete and player. They concede Henson at 9 because they’re sure Drummond will be gone by then and that Leonard hasn’t had the best workouts. Unless we move up to get Drummond or trade down and receive a good center, this draft is looking thoroughly bad, Henson at 9 is a bad decision.

“That makes me wonder if we could see a trade like this: Detroit deals Tayshaun Prince (expires 2015) and the no. 9 pick to Sacramento for the no. 5 pick and Salmons’s contract (expires 2015). Sacramento stays in the top nine and adds an unselfish veteran swingman who won’t really help them because it’s not like they can compete for a title; Detroit sneaks into the top five and rolls the dice with a Drummond/Monroe tandem that will eventually fail. Everyone loses!” Simmons v Ford on the mock draft… I can’t help but wonder if this is what Joe D has in mind, I surely hope not, getting Drummond won’t be worth having Maggette and Salmons at the 3.

I think you should posted this in UPPERCASE and bold cause it deserved it. I am thinking unless Daye somehow manages to add 80lbs over the offseason then his NBA days are numbered. Maybe Joe should of employed Eddy Curry as his eating coach or even just had Daye move in with him to learn the fine art of eating.
