U misread what i meant… The pistons org, does not consider Daye as A Primary big man on this team, meaning he is not one of there top big man they are counting on. They will use him primarily as a big man, but not be there primary big man. At best he is 5th big right now. This article stated Daye, Drummond and Jerbko are the Pistons primary bigs, no mention of Monroe, Maxiel or CV. This is a case like Justin stated of National media, not knowing this team and because of that, can hardly be taken as serious.

I don't know about that. From a Keith Langlois article in July: "Daye is along for the whole ride, and it’s telling that he’s been working at power forward almost exclusively so far. There has been some sentiment within the organization that Daye’s best shot at a significant NBA future lies at that spot, where he can use his unusual gifts – not just deep shooting range but an assortment of mid-range shots within his arsenal – to vex traditional power forwards."

Wallace’s best defensive move last season was dodging a weapons charge. What’s he gonna teach Drummond? The ins and outs of driving drunk with a loaded gun?

I don’t think they consider Daye as a primary big man, like this article suggest.

But Boston fans will remember his betrayal forever.

One more thing: there is nothing typical about veterans who are still in demand like Allen chasing titles and accepting less money from their own team. The proof of this is that the Spurs have never gotten a player like him to join their team and chase a title. Karl Malone and Gary Payton could easily have chosen the Spurs in 04 but they chose the Lakers. No, this is just another case of selfishness and taking less money doesn’t mitigate the notion at all. Allen could have joined several contenders and gotten more money but he chose the team that would really stick it to Rondo, Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge–as in the people responsible for helping Allen get his only title. The hypocrite took an ad out in a Boston paper to try to soothe things over with fans–they pretty much instantly hated him in Boston to an extent that media members find hard to understand but I understand implicitly. People aren’t stupid in Boston, he will have a better chance fooling the apathetic crowd in Miami but they won’t remember him very long after he gets another ring or two that he barely deserves.

And just to add; I lost respect for Allen doubly because he left Boston due to petty squabbles and resentments centering on Rondo in general and Doc Rivers starting Avery Bradley over him. Jason Terry has real character like Manu Ginobili as they don’t care whether they start or not but just about what is best for the team. When Allen joined the Heat, the spite of switching over to the Celtics chief rival and team that beat them in the playoffs, proved to me that he was just another big baby who can’t handle that his skills are eroding and age gracefully. I will never say another good word about him.

LeBron & Company. LLC collusion was a reckless venture that showed no care for the league itself and I view any player who doesn’t disapprove of what they did as either ignorant or too selfish to care. Nearly every major retired player who said anything about it at the time criticized or condemned LeBron. My personal feeling ever since is that players and general managers should be united in thwarting their unseemly assault on NBA rings and I am greatly disappointed when any player, and especially one supposedly known for having high character, not only fails to oppose them but actually helps them. Such players don’t have a proper respect in my view for the integrity of the league and game. They are like players rushing to join the Black Sox.
