    Anthony $2.5 M this year and a non-guaranteed $2.5 M next year. I would assume he's waived...

    our best shooter and our only low post player with offensive skills. SHM at this one. I hate to see Dmo go.

    Stop re-posting the same ****, we know it's top 8 protected, still does not make it a good ****ing trade. D-Mo is one thing, but MT???? Who the **** going to score off the bench now? The coach was incompetent, but Morey coming close..

    Definitely another deal coming. Either that or a lot of playing time for McDaniels.

    Yep. Low post threat. F it. We don't need that. We just need ONE playmaker iso'ing. That'll get it done. Oh, and a shooter. BWHAHA. To hell with the too. KJ can shoot can't he. I am scratching my head now.

    If we miss the playoffs, we might have back to back picks in the middle of the first round. *looks up mock drafts*

    That pick is crap. It will most likely after the Harris and DMO trade be 17-18 and this draft sux.

    Noone wants Lawson. Noone wants Dwight. Morey sux at drafting. Good job.

    I don't know why people think this is a good move for us. Pistons are going to overtake an injury prone Chicago Bulls or a Jekyll and Hyde Charlotte Bobcats team. That pick is going to be in the 15-18 range.

    Lol,

    this forum indeed has lots of middle aged white fans - as mentioned by others.

    Wow....thats like a really low return for DMo even if he is a rfa, chances are Detroit will still be in the top 10 ext two years so we wont be getting the pick till the protection wears off. DMo has allstar potential no wonder SVG wanted him. If he gets healthy I predict him to blow up and make DM look bad.

    you think morey would make this move if he didn't have a trade in place to move dwight already?

    use your head

    I wonder if Morey and his team run through the numbers and check the remaining schedule of the Piston's to determine if they will be a playoff team or not.

    I'm sure they do...Good chance Detroit falls out of the playoffs

    If his back is bad he won't clear the physical. DMO is fine.
