When Bill Davidson died Joe's hands became tied because Davidson's wife was trying to find a buyer of the Pistons. Joe was a shyt GM when it came to drafting players. The Pistons could have pulled either Wade or Melo at the time and he drafts an unknown 7 footer. The Billups/A.I. trade pissed me off because I still thought the Pistons could had made one last push to get to the Finals. The problems with the Pistons at that time was simply coaching. When Larry Brown left the bottom start to fall apart with Flip as coach because he thought putting emphasis on offense over defense was gone work out East and every year the Pistons was getting booted out of the ECF.
Darko was the consensus #2 pick in that draft so everybody said. After dirk 7 foot euros was the new hotness. Larry brown didn't do him any favors.

Pistons run was over after Ben Wallace left. Flip Saunders wasn't getting them back to the finals.

I just don't get why he is available in the first place...cause he is having a bad year? He is 23...23 year old players have bad years...

You want to revisit next year and he still playing like this then it becomes more viable...but pulling the plug on 23 year old centers cause they had a bad first half of a season? That strikes me as outlandish...

Isn't this the first year of his new contract to? You extend a guy to 20+ million a year and then before the first year is up you try to see what you can get for him?
You see what you can get now because his value is still high
Lets say he never gets better or worse gets injuried and never recovers
His peak would have been his one all star game year

Lets look at dereick rose for an example he was untouchable in 2011 and now he's gonna be begging teams for a spot five years later

Joe has a pretty good draft record. The Darko situation was a huge blunder, but other than that his draft picks have been pretty solid, especially some of his late 1st and 2nd rd picks. His problem was not valuing the players once he got them. He gaffe away players like middleton and Afflalo for them to grow on other teams. And what he would get back in return would be trash.

what stats did I mention in the post you first replied to :gucci:

i posted a video of showing drummond potential on defense there wasn't nothing inaccurate in that post

I understand you mad that ya team trash but being naive aint gonna help
I didn't say you mention stats. But you said you've been following his career. How the hell you do that without watching pistons games. Would it be by looking at stats and highlights. :francis:

People seem to forget that Joe drafted a lot of solid NBA players.

At one time most of teams third, fourth, and fifth best rotation players were jo d guys
Middleton, Monroe, knight, afflao, Amir Johnson, Okur, Tayshaun Prince, Rodney stuckey, jerebko, Drummond, kcp,
That's 11 starters on solid teams

Yep. Free agency and trades is where joe started to shyt the bed. nikka was spending money on redundant players and guys that were terrible fits together.
