Blow it UP

[Showtime16]

Top 3 Needs: PG SF SG

Everybody is expendable the Pistons glory days left with Cauncey Buillups. They have good players but they are all out of their primes.

Only Austin Daye, Greg Monroe, Rodney Stuckey, and possibly Jonas Jerebko have a secure future in Detroit.

 

FA:Get some new faces

 

12 Will Bynum G 6-0 185 Georgia Tech 3 Solid reserve

5 Austin Daye F 6-11 200 Gonzaga 1 Good young prospect

7 Ben Gordon G 6-3 200 University of Connecticut 6 Super scorer off the bench trade to contender

32 Richard Hamilton G 6-7 193 University of Connecticut 11 Veteran player best days behind him trade to contender

33 Jonas Jerebko F 6-9 220 Sweden 1 Young prospect

54 Jason Maxiell F 6-7 260 University of Cincinnati 5 Good reserve

1 Tracy McGrady G 6-8 223 Mt. Zion Christian Academy (NC) 13 Let him go

10 Greg Monroe F 6-11 250 Georgetown R Key to the next Generation Piston Regime

22 Tayshaun Prince F 6-9 215 University of Kentucky 8 Trade bait

3 Rodney Stuckey G 6-5 205 Eastern Washington University 3 Good player needs to find niche PG or SG

35 DaJuan Summers F 6-8 236 Georgetown 1 Not going to pan out

31 Charlie Villanueva F 6-11 232 University of Connecticut 5 Decent scorer could be included in trade

6 Ben Wallace C 6-9 240 Virginia Union 14 Keep him off the bench or trade him

23 Terrico White G 6-5 213 Mississippi R Nothing special

9 Chris Wilcox C 6-10 235 University of Maryland 8 Let him go

Breakdown: Trading contracts and worn out players for young talent and infusing solid role playing players via FA is a start to the Detroit Blow up. Rodney Stuckey is a possible six man of the year candidate as a combo scorer off the bench. Ford is an average PG with good leadership skill for a very young team. I think Memphis would take Rip Hamilton Villanueva Ben Gordon and Will Bynum or any combination of these four for Mayo and Ish Smith. The trade makes them more Title ready now rather then building up for the title.

[The Regime]

I quickly skimmed over the post, but in all honesty I cant see the Pistons winning over 15 games with that lineup. OJ Mayo and Stuckey are the only guys who are borderline starter material. You can still get way more value for Hamilton, Villanueva Gordon, and Bynum; they aren't washed up.

[?QuestionMark?]

Trade doesn't come close to working.

 

Allen and Mayo are a better duo than Gordon and Rip at this point. Plus with Gay coming back they probably don't need more scoring.

 

Memphis can get a player comparable to Charlie via FA if they want.

 

Detroit pretty much shot themselves in the foot with the Gordon and Charlie deals. Not a good sitation in Motown. They just have to grind out the next few years and just make good draft selections and smart trades.

All good points but sometimes Management is stupid and take dumb deals! LOL However Rip brings playoff exp witch management overvalues sometimes Gordon can score Gay is up in the air Mayo is not untouchable for the Grizz just saying. Im not saying this is going to happen just giving examples of what the teams need to do to rebuild.

Thats why it is called blowing it up you will suck for a year or two! Monroe is going to be a solid starer in the league. We don't know what type of player the rookie big will be and Rip Villanueva and Gordon you need to get what you can for them what ever that is. Where were the Pistons when the Playoffs came around this year with them as their core? The Pistons Glory days left with Chauncey Oh and this isn't the only trade it was just the quickest for me to write up at the time.
