“Pistons ‘Flirted’ with Moving Up in the Draft.”

If the draft is based on need and possibility, then if they can move into the top 3 with a trade, Robinson becomes a possibility. Davis would be number 1, but New Orleans obviously isn’t shopping that pick, so there’s no possibility. If Dumars is willing to give up Knight or monroe and their #9 pick, then Robinson becomes a possibility.

No Henson in our “realistic board”? We have no need for the two time ACC defensive player of the year? Ok.

I think we are trading back. It just has that Erie feeling to it!

How about Jeremy Lamb? Detroit won a championship with Hamilton.

Joe better not draft the 2012 version of Austin Daye (John Henson)!!!!

I really don’t think Joe is going to draft Henson. I agree with Ray that Joe is going to move down if Drummond doesn’t fall. For some reason I think he might like Moultrie. I think there is still a chance that someone will fall to us like Monroe & Knight did. I won’t be shocked if Harrison Barnes falls.

If Joe is Hyping up Henson…to Move Down and Get someone Else…i’d be very excited to be a Pistons fan again

I really wish we would trade up and go get Drummond, he’s exactly what we need and it doesn’t make sense to wait around and hope good things happen…go make them happen. You won’t always get a team to pick Ekpe Udoh over Greg Monroe or have Brandon Knight fall to you, sometimes you gotta make it happen.
Sacramento has said they want to move back in the draft, so package some picks, give them an expiring contract like Maxiell and see if they say yes. You’re then in the 5 spot and you have Drummond.

1. Thomas Robinson
2. Andre Drummond
3. John Henson
4. Tyler Zeller
5. Perry Jones

If this is our real big board then it’s time somebody talked to Joe Dumars about his drinking problem. Look at that list. 1 Thomas Robinson-ah no shit but no chance either. 2 Andre Drummond-big risk, big reward way to goddamned high on the big board. 3 John Henson-great pick up for the San Antonio Spurs or some other bottom of the draft team. 4 Tyler Zeller-solid value but too high. 5 Perry Jones-Tim Thomas’ bastard son.

Our semi-realistic big board should be. 1 Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 2 Bradley Beal 3 Jeremy Lamb 4 Andre Drummond 5 Meyers Leonard 6 Terrence Jones 7 Tyler Zeller 8 Arnett Moultrie.

I really hope the Detroit Pistons select one of the following players with their picks – Austin Rivers, Andrew Nicholson, Perry Jones or Jared Sullinger. I really really hope they get one of these guys….

only thing Detroit can offer is 15 million dollars of cap relief…. With Maggette and Maxiel expiring contacts..unless someone wants Stucky or some foolish team wants Prince or Charlie V….

Imma Trust that Joe is bluffing…maybe he is hiding Moultries….
