isnt jon barry in his mid 40s
plus arent we in a two game wining streak with drummond out. give slava some minutes damn it, hell give kim english some minutes too. these guys are young and are willing to give it all they got in their rookie year and how is it fair for them to not recieve any minutes.

I like Ben as much as anyone else but if the team is going all in on a youth movement why bring back Ben for half a season? It would be cool to have him come in on a coaching/mentoring capacity but other than that let Slava get more playing time and see what you have (if anything) for next year and beyond.

I wonder about that point on whether Drummond is out for the season or not. Apart from the kool aid this organization routinely puts out, why in the world would they even think about bringing Drummond back before he’s absolutely, positively 110%? A stress fracture in your spine is a serious injury and he’s the future of the team, so why risk bringing him back early to a team with for pointless month of play? To worsen your lottery position I guess. Anyway if I’m Joe D the whole ’4-6 weeks’ thing is just PR and I’m shutting the big fella down for the season.

I think the main problem with Jonas is coaching. If you remember his rookie season, he was the only player on the team worth watching. Unfortunately he got injured and missed the whole next season. Since then he has been playing for Frank or most of the time not even playing.

Sign Benjie. Tank some games. Get in the lotto. Trade Max. Let’s be real, were not the Lakeshow, no big name free agents are heading to the D. Get another pick out of Max and use the other to continue to build the team. Dre, GMon, BK, Singy + 2013 first rounder/Eric Gordon is a young strong unit.

Apart from sentimentality, I don’t agree that Ben Wallace makes sense. I’m probably the dude’s biggest fan, too.

Unless there’s a trade that clears Max or CV, and the Pistons don’t bring a rotation big back in return, what’s the point of signing Big Ben?

The team isn’t making a playoff push. It makes more sense to play Slava and see what’s there. It makes more sense to play Max and CV as the trade deadline approaches. And it’s not like Dre’s out for the season.

On top of that, the Pistons may not be done trading. Having an open roster spot could prove significant.
