Man I'd love to have a front court of JO and Maxiell, splitting minutes with McDyess and Amir. That'd be sweet.
Whatever happens I hope we are making moves to contend. Rebuilding sucks. If we do rebuild I hope it is only for one year.

maxiell is a role player. Its going to take JO plus Webber and Prince to having a contending front court.
I've watched Tinsley since he was at Iowa State. He doesn't really make me nervous at all. I've been dissappointed in him at times. He certainly has shown serious flashes of his ability, but he's all delt with some nagging injuries and off the court issues.
Bottomline he may have done a few things that annoy you, but he's never gotten in any major trouble. Remember he was carrying the team in the games after the brawl with you guys.
His first year in the league he averaged 8 assists. He is capable of 8 or even 10 assists a game. While also scoring double figures. He also has a nose for the ball, gets a lot of steals.
It would be an interesting experiment... getting Tinsley on a new team. Especially detroit where he will be expected to distribute (take good shots) and play tough D.
I'd make sure I had a good backup (like say Anthony Johnson) but I would do the trade in a second.
15, 27, 57. Three draft picks to also add to your depth. Could end up with Acie Law or Javaris Crittenton at 15. I think the spurs want Alando Tucker at 28, so detroit could take him at 27. Pruitt could be available at 27 too.
It would be nice if the Pistons could land Noah, but he will go to a lotto bound team. Id look to move up in this draft if I was detroit.
Anyways they have 3 picks to ad to their depth.
Also look at the MLE with guys like Mo Williams and M Pete.
It can be a fast turnaround. Dumars can pull it off.
Jermaine O'Neal
Chris Webber
T. Prince
Rip Hamilton
Jamaal Tinsley
Bench
Mo Williams
McDyess
Mohammed
Flip Murray
Maxiell
Hunter
Johnson
Blalock
Dupree
Delfino
Trade up and get Noah and then you only cut one of those guys. Rebuild complete.
You have Mo Williams to step in if Tinsley doesnt perform how you want. That would be my off season game plan
