Misfiring Pistons: Dumars Might Trade To Fix Team
Quote:
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)—Joe Dumars broke up the Detroit Pistons when he was convinced they were no longer an Eastern Conference power.
Now that Detroit’s record is among the worst in the league, the team’s president of basketball operations sounds like he’s ready to make more moves over the next month.
“We will not be averse to being active before the trading deadline,” Dumars said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press. “But we’re definitely not going to be active just to be active. At this stage, it has to make sense for us going forward. We’re not looking for a short-term fix.”
FILE - In this Nov. 27, 2009, file photo, Detroit Pistons' Tayshaun Prince(notes), from left, who is suffering from a ruptured disk in his lower back, sits on the bench with DaJuan Summers(notes), Jonas Jerebko(notes), Will Bynum(notes) and Jason Maxiell(notes) during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Los Angeles Clippers in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Detroit Pistons were expected to have a rebuilding season. No one expected them to be this bad. The former Eastern Conference powerhouse recently avoided a franchise record for consecutive losses, injuries have piled up and fan support has been inconsistent.
One player could not cure all the Pistons’ problems, even if he was a desperately needed point guard or a low-post scorer.
“We are not a finished product,” Dumars said. “We have some holes to fill and we will go about doing that.”
