Damn, people outside of Detroit think the Pistons actually have a shot at the playoffs. People in Detroit know there is no shot, at least not yet. A couple players traded could change that.
He used to be just a cool guy who always spoke what was on his mind and was refreshing. Now he's jumped the shark, is incredibly annoying and full of vitriol.
PEACE.
Honestly this could be a good marriage for the Pacers and Stuckey. Stuckey is a very efficient scorer when he's playing his game and taking the ball to the rim with intensity. It could work out well in a winning starting line-up where he is the 4th or 5th most important scorer...
Happy with V-Mart sitting out. Happy with Cabrera declining the HR Derby. Will be happy if Scherzer underhand rolls the ball to the mound for an inning in the All Star Game. Huge four game series with the Indians after the break. Would love to bury them and put them double digit games back.
Here's your problem, and I do respect your passion for trying to completely evaluate players and give defense a huge consideration, your problem is that it's much harder to score the ball or assist on scoring the ball than it is to prevent the score. You are coming at this like this:

We both know the defensive discrepancy is not that and it would have to be quite a discrepancy since Ellis is a vastly more efficient scorer. Tyreke Evans is not Michael Curry. And raw stats... you win the game by putting the ball through the rim.
Come on man, Ellis is clearly an established veteran with a long track record of production and Evans is not that at all. Why are you choosing to fight this battle.
