The only ...Yeah, I don't think it'll be a problem. The only question is how big the stars will be.<BR/><BR/>Will it be a Boozer / Okur level player or a Bosh? Or my dream scenario - Boozer or Okur this year, and then Bosh or Stoudamire the next year. <BR/><BR/>I doubt we could get one of the upper echelon stars like Lebron or Wade, but we can always hope.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-33041315149919493512009-04-04T14:41:00.000-04:002009-04-04T14:41:00.000-04:00Mike,I definitely did not envision the Pistons str...Mike,<BR/><BR/>I definitely did not envision the Pistons struggling so much with Iverson. <BR/><BR/>The good thing, though, is it doesn't matter. The trade was always for cap purposes first and on the court second. <BR/><BR/>Now it just comes down to whether Joe D can find players willing to sign with Detroit just as you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope!Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-54111341808316650112009-04-04T11:04:00.000-04:002009-04-04T11:04:00.000-04:00Whoops.

"In fact, you’ll see fewer PGs blowing by Iverson than you saw with Billups." "There is no doubt in my mind that I’d rather have Iverson than Billups right now." "I would not be surprised if the Pistons finish with the best record in the Eastern Conference." :-)<BR/><BR/>Easy to be a monday morning QB though. Personally at the time I thought the trade would force us to take a step back, but I had no idea how big that step would be.<BR/><BR/>Interesting point about Detroit not attracting free agent stars besides the Red Wings. Hopefully Joe can do some good things with the cap space though and make it all worth while.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-59768581506152160172008-11-06T08:18:00.000-05:002008-11-06T08:18:00.000-05:00"Still, it’s never a good idea to assume that a su..."Still, it’s never a good idea to assume that a superstar player will sign a contract with a Detroit team not named the Red Wings."Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-17584556606779363402008-11-06T00:43:00.000-05:002008-11-06T00:43:00.000-05:00You said there has not been a big time player to l...You said there has not been a big time player to leave to come to detroit unless traded or got more money what about Hasek or Hossa?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-72462814876803595752008-11-05T15:49:00.000-05:002008-11-05T15:49:00.000-05:00Thanks, Byron!I'm pretty sure that makes you my fa...Thanks, Byron!<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure that makes you my favorite reader!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>JakeJakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-22765605274618119472008-11-05T04:13:00.000-05:002008-11-05T04:13:00.000-05:00your the best Michigan Sports Writer. perhaps ever...your the best Michigan Sports Writer. perhaps ever???
