I would think that the only way it would make sense for the Pistons is if they could get KG without giving up more than one of RIP, Sheed, Tayshaun and Billups. At this point, any trade would have to include Rip. The salaries would have to match because Bill Davidson doesn't like to go over the salary cap. The Pistons have two first round picks next year. They could offer something like RIP, Antonio McDyess, Dale Davis' expiring contract and three first round draft picks. I can't say with certainty that Minnesota would have any interest in that trade. I would do it if I were the Pistons.<BR/><BR/>Realistically, Joe Dumars would likely not be willing to give up that much for KG. I think it's a no brainer but Joe D loves his guys to a fault.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-1155940366232805902006-08-18T18:32:00.000-04:002006-08-18T18:32:00.000-04:00Is it possible for the pistons to get garnett?Is it possible for the pistons to get garnett?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-1137491865027319432006-01-17T04:57:00.000-05:002006-01-17T04:57:00.000-05:00Hey Kevin, it's good to hear from you.First, let m...Hey Kevin, it's good to hear from you.<BR/><BR/>First, let me say nobody on this planet was happier than me when Larry was shown the door. I don't wish misery on any decent person so I'm not hoping anything bad happens to Larry. However, he single handily held the Pistons back. Good riddance to Larry the coach.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the Pistons adding another player. There are a few players that the Pistons could look at to add a bench presence. They could try to make a big splash by looking at Spree, Jalen Rose, Artest, Al Harrington, or someone else like that. The Pistons won't be going after any of those guys needless to say. Also, with Saunders liking the recent Prince experiment at back-up point guard, I think the need for a competent player behind Chauncey subsides a bit. This might surprise you, but I think it would be great if the Pistons brought back the Chuck-wagon (Atkins). Anyone who can make a three would be a godsend. My feeling is that there will be no changes. This team is good enough to win the championship the way it is but it is no sure bet. The offense is much better this year but it would be nice if the starters didn't get run into the ground with playing time like they did last year. I have a feeling that, come playoff time, Flip will revert back to a seven-man rotation. That would mean another tired team in the conference finals and NBA finals. <BR/><BR/>I'm with you though. Joe-D should look into bringing in an offensive spark like Vinny.<BR/><BR/>What happened to McDyess anyway? He couldn't miss last year.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>JakeJakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-1137444570243455052006-01-16T15:49:00.000-05:002006-01-16T15:49:00.000-05:00Hey I am Matt Starr's cousin Kevin. I saw this ar...Hey I am Matt Starr's cousin Kevin. I saw this article and I have been thinking about the Pistons now that UM's season is finally out of it's misery. As for the Pistons, the style is even better now that Larry and his ego is gone. They can really crank it up when the need to. I have been searching for some trade rumors about them. I think that even with things going as well as<BR/>they are, this is the year to make one extra move to get a guy who can<BR/>ignite the bench scoring (ala vinny Johnson or Jame Edwards) McDyse looks old and Evans, Hunter, Darko etc. just don't have the spark and none of them are good shooters. The only problem they have as a team are those 2 minute offensive dry spells where Sheed is chucking turnarounds and they are running plays for Prince and Wallace. I keep thinking that a guy like Jalen Rose or ??<BR/>would put them over the top. I have the feeling they will just coast for the season and then pick up a marginal old guy at the deadline (Chucky Atkins) like the<BR/>Wings did for years. I know you don't want to mess with things but I have to figure they could eat a contract on a scoring role player who is dying for a Ring.<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
