Good point. Gordon and Villanueva should not be Piston targets, but it looks like they are unfortunately. They will be nowhere near as good as Chauncey and McDyess, who should be on Detroit contracts right now.

Tayshaun and McDyess were the high points of the Pistons season. They didn’t show any “bitchassness.” They never have either that I know of. Then Tay had his best season and Dice had perhaps his best season since he initially signed with Detroit.

Stuckey, Bynum and Kwame did some nice things.
Stuck at the beginning of the year, the other 2 later on.

When Dumars blew Chauncey out of town, that was the end of the era. The was nothing Curry could have done to keep that team from imploding. Not only did you trade away your team leader, but you brought in egomaniac in AI. For What? For cap room so you can signed Villanueva? Ben Gordon? Joe D is losing it. Rip is not the only diva on this team, but he, as a team leader, lead the revolt against Curry.

I’m with ya #25 and Iam a detriter and this article is full of BS. Curry was the problem and so was Iverson, nothing was wrong with IVO, he just didnt wzant to come off the bench and he felt it should not have even been a question as to who would come off the bench between him and RIP, thats why his back all of a sudden began to hurt. Joe D said ok, your done for the season. Rip was just pissed because he sees where his team is going and it aint getting any better. We needed to get rid of Chauncy BTW: He was the cause of every loss in the playoffs for the last few years and even when RC was the coach. It was always either Chauncy just didnt show up to play of he was having personal issues with his relationships or just provoked Ben into blowing off the caoch and not come in the game when told too, not once but twice. The 2008 season everyone tries to blame on Sheed but Sheed was doing his thing even with his Guaransheed but he ended up spraining his ankle and we were done. So dont blame Rip for our issues, it is a number of things.

The only reason I go for Detroit is Rip, get Rip outta there and I don’t support them no more.

i think curry is supposed to be birdie. i definitely agree that billups was the glue of this team. as soon as he left these guys pretty much let their bitchassness (yes bitchassness) take over. think about it: for all that’s said about a.i. (i love em but he is selfish), these guys shut it down before he even got off the plane. had they really put for the effort, detroit could have been a fifty win team.

It just seems to me that the pistons are in their decline. An aging, less effective Rasheed Wallace, a disgruntled Rip Hamilton, and a neophyte with potential in Rodney Stuckey. Dumars needs to make some serious changes because they’re a few opt-outs away from being a lottery team for years to come..

What a wack. This guy has the nerves to be a diva when he’s only as good as the Detroit (the squad he’s whining against)team offense, which is built to get him looks, is. Put him in any other squad, and he’s just another James Jones.

This is nothing but Curry’s fault. They need to get rid of him very quickly.
