I agree with you 100%. JJ has been one of my favorite players since his rookie season. Back then, he was the only positive thing going on the team. I can’t wait until the trade deadline in hopes that we can rid ourselves of some of the dead weight and then hope that JJ gets back into the lineup.

I think he’s the only Piston that wasn’t allowed to play through a slump.

Just read the article in Swedish (i live in Sweden). The translation is without errors. SVT is one of the most credible information in Europe and more than probably 99.9999% of the USA-based. It is known for independence and absolutly not for inventing things to have attention. On the other side basketball understanding in Sweden isn’y so high so I can’t confirm if the journalist is an expert or not (reading the article it seems mord or less a report without any deepening)

I thought Jonas would be one of Frank’s “guys.”. I don’t get how his minutes vanished, even alotting for his poor start.

“I didn’t read the story, so I don’t know what it said. Everybody has a right to their own opinion. It’s media. They probably twisted it.”

Jonas’s translation: “Trade me the f**k outta here”

Yeah if Jerebko was in on Chicago’s last play then i guarantee that Joakim Noah’s path to that offensive rebound either a) wouldn’t have been there or b) been a lot harder than it was.

It takes Frank to make you question Joe D? How about absolutely everything else he has done in the last several years? Frank is proving to be a poor coach. Joe is proving to be at least as bad a GM.

Daye does tend to vanish out there sometimes. Weirdly he only played something like 11 minutes the game after his best game this season. Maybe he did something to piss off Frank, but not enough to get benched completely. I was giving Frank props for building up Daye’s confidence and then Lawrence goes and sneezes and knocks down the house of cards. Frank might actually be retarding the development of our young talent.

Problem with Daye is, if his shot isn’t falling, he can be virtually useless on the floor. Jonas contributes in so many other ways. And his body language is always that of a hustler. I could easily see him being another Afflalo; undervalued by the organization in favor of other guys who were drafted higher or signed to stupid contracts and eventually given away for pennies on the dollar only to flourish elsewhere. I like Jonas and I hope he gets his chance. We need to move Maxiell. And Tayshaun. And CV, if remotely possible for a reasonable contract in return.

Our ceiling, in an ideal world, is making the playoffs and getting eviscerated by Miami. Let’s just develop the young guys and make a splash next year…
