Dumars toughest trade

Quote:
AUBURN HILLS--Ask Joe Dumars what has been his toughest day on the job as Pistons president, and he doesn't hesitate to answer.

No, not when Grant Hill informed Dumars two weeks into his new gig that he was bolting to Orlando via free agency. It's not even close.

It was when Dumars had to trade Lindsey Hunter. Although dealing players comes with the job title, it was still painful because Dumars traded one of his closest friends.
Detroit News

I was never much of a Detroit fan until we got Ben Wallace. I was pretty much indifferent to the team so I didn't know the good of a relationship the two had. Turns out they had a good one. Good read, take a look, and imagine having to trade away one of your best friends in your first year as a GM.

Re: Dumars toughest trade

Hill was on the way out so that wasn't a hard trade. At the time I was just happy to get something in return for him. Hunter leaving was horrible but I was very glad to see him come back.

Re: Dumars toughest trade

It would be hard to trade somebody that you've been friends with for over 10 years.

I am sure getting him back and getting him a ring made everything feel easier.
