Detroit Pistons Off-Season Thread
If you where Joe D what would you do this offseason?
Elton Brand would look nice in a piston jersey!

Re: Offseason moves?
What I would do, Is trade for Chris Kaman. But that's impossible.
I have plenty of ideas running through my head, but I would like to see our playoff run before I put them all together

S&T Fabio to Golden State for Kelenna.

Re: Offseason moves?
I'm not entirely sold on Kaman. His percentages aren't great for a center, and he's incredibly turnover prone. These were issues for him even when he wasn't a focal point of the offense. He's become a useful defensive player, though.
Not sure why the Clippers would want to trade him away when he just had a career year. Even if Brand leaves and they decide to retool, Kaman would be an easier piece to build with rather than Maggette or anyone else on that team.
Azubuike's interesting. Decent shooter and finisher but no in between game. I think his game would suffer a bit since Detroit doesn't run, and even the younger second unit doesn't necessarily push the ball that much. He'd be taking most of his minutes from Afflalo, who is a superior defender but much worse on offense. I think the Warriors could bite on that since Hermann can fit in with that system, but it leaves Detroit a bit crowded at backup SG.

Re: Offseason moves?
I'm not sold on Kelenna either, but he would be an awesome punch off the bench. The Zoo crew loves to run. Afflalo is great defensively, but he needs to work on his jumper badly. Either way he deserves more PT than Hayes. In a perfect world Afflalo and Walter would be getting major minutes at the 2 & 3 respectively. Next year I would like to see...
Billups/ Stuckey/ Dixon
Rip/ Afflalo
Tayshaun/ Walter
Maxiell/ Amir
Rasheed/ McDyess/ Theo
Resigning Theo would be worth it. He'd come on the cheap. Hopefully the same with Juan. Depending on the draft this may change entirely. I'd like DeVon Hardin to learn everything he can from our veteran bigs.

I can't see GS willing to do this. But I can see Hermann swapped for O'Bryant, though.

Re: Offseason moves?
Yea I don't see GS giving up on Kelena for Hermann.
Hows Hermann going for you guys anyway? Does he get minutes?

He plays enough for us to see what he is capable of, even if it's entirely visible that he is superior to Jarvis Hayes. He doesn't get enough PT is what I am trying to say.

The Heat will be the four seed in 2009.
CENTER
Haslem
Marion
Wade
Rose
The question is, who plays center?
