He cannot be moved quickly enough.  Ive only been saying this about Daye since his second season.  meanwhile he was planking and twittering and sulking and feeling entitled like a spoiled child.  He had flashes of success but never built upon it.  All of this despite having a journeyman NBA father that im sure told him how hard it is to stick in the league.  What a waste, good bye! /rant over.   after all of that he still gets another chance to salvage something.  He'll be in the rotation for at least through Jan.  And just like a kid that didnt listen to his parents until its too late, he is shit out of luck.  Dont let the door hit you in the ass.

Most likely:  Proves he is not NBA material given consistent minutes, out of the NBA after the season Could happen: minor part of a larger trade, resulting in him finishing the year with another team, still out of the NBA next season. Crazier things have happened: given training camp invite by Spurs, shows out in summer league again and replaces Matt Bonner in the rotation.   He's got all of the tools, but he'll probably be one of those guys who bounces back and forth from the d-league. Time for the Pistons to move on.    The below are possible Austin Daye Scenarios.

Still it's good he get an audition instead of Corey Maggette's expiring contract (For the last couple games Lawrence Frank has just been throwing the contract itself on the court and that's why Maggette's stats are so terrible).
