Made a couple of correct predictions.

Reports have suggested the Pistons will be interested in Ben Gordon, Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap this summer, but they could also make a play for Hedu Turkoglu.

Turkoglu is most likely to remain in Orlando, but could be lured away if a team with cap space offers a better deal.
If the Knicks dangle forward David Lee in a sign-and-trade, the Pistons could be one of the teams interested.

New York is looking to clear cap space for 2010, and Detroit has significant cap room this offseason.

That would be sweet if we got any of those players. Any one of them would be an improvement for us. To me, Millsap going to Detroit would be nice. He had a great season for Utah this year when Boozer was out, and he can make plays on Defense, and Offense. He is a lesser version of Dwight when it comes to double-doubles.

I'd love Detroit to get Boozer, Millsap, or Lee. Then sign Turkoglu. And trade Prince and Amir away for a true center.

C - Kaman/Camby/Etc..
PF- Boozer/Millsap/Lee
SF- Turkoglu
SG- Hamilton
PG- Stuckey

Draft a SF.

The two article's you posted are just someone's opionion.
But if it comes down to it, I want Milsap over Lee and Boozer then swing a trade for Kaman.

The Pistons could be entertaining the idea of trading guard Richard Hamilton.

Detroit has already broken up part of their championship roster from earlier this decade, and Rasheed Wallace is expected to leave via free agency this summer.

The Pistons have sizable cap room, and one of their expected targets is free-agent shooting guard Ben Gordon.

I still don't want Caveman Kaman.
I'm all for Camby though.

But if we do get Kaman, I wouldn't complain.
JoeyD will be busy draft night.

Kaman would be great with Boozer, and Stuckey with BG <3
If we did do what my dream is, then we will be right near the top again IMO, even with Camby. But Kaman is younger and scores more, while Camby is old worn down and ready to call it quits after his contract expires in a year.

The thing is, our team would have little defense down low, which has been our problem for how many years.

We need a guy like Hedo too. A player who can make a shot off his own dribble.

Lol at pugz thinking kaman and a 5'11 two guard is the answer to their problems. Rip has a more realistic plan.

You agreed with this before lol. Rip wants a C who will retire in a year and leave us looking for ANOTHER C. And Hedo is a chucker, if we even try to sign him.. Fuck this team.

I'm fine with Rip, but I really want Kaman. I'd be fine if we only traded for Kaman, but if we are keeping Rip then I will miss Tay sooooo much.

I was implying that rip would be gone as well. He is getting older his game will decline soon.

Stuck
Hedo
Tay
Booz
Kaman
