Pistons 09/10 Season Thread

[Pugz]

This draft will be good, Mexi that's what I'm waiting for lol. Like last season I'd rather get a lottery pick then be swept.

 

[Mexi]

maybe you can make the playoffs this year. the east is getting strong though

Cavs
Magic
Boston
Wizards
Hawks
Bulls
76ers
then maybe you. actually, pistons might be better or as good as philly, but if EB is back, forget it.

dont forget Indy with Dunleavy will be better, Bobcats can make a run.

nice parody in the east as always with the 8th seed

I don't think the Bulls are as good as us or the 76ers. They really haven't done anything to improve their team this off-season. And they did lose their best scorer to us.. Maybe their experienced they gain will help them though.

I think we will finish anywhere from 5-8.

From Chad Ford's Twitter:

Nesterovic is an option for the Pistons last big man. But they hope Big Ben agrees first. Both would be at vet minimum

 

[RipCity32]

To end our off-season I believe we will bring back Big Ben. I think it is easily the most plausible option we have left. He would improve ticket sales, and fans would be very excited to see him again. He also played under Kuester for a couple seasons. He would sign for cheap, and it is a great place for him to retire.

In addition to that, look for us to sign PG Sean Singletary soon, or maybe even Jeremy Pargo. Ultimately we are going to need that #3 PG. And both Singletary and Pargo had a pretty solid summer league. But out of the two I believe Singletary showed more. This is where Dumars turned last year for our 3rd PG (Bynum), so it would only make sense for him to do it again. And I would not mind at all, I liked what I seen from both.

BTW, found this as I was typing this...

After playing nearly every minute of every game at Virginia, Sean Singletary has had to adjust to a life spent on and off the bench.

Now with his fifth NBA team, the Pistons, Singletary is fighting for his job.

Singletary played with the Piston Summer League Team where he averaged 7.4 points per game through five games. He led the team with 18 assists.

Singletary performed well enough that many people think either he or Jeremy Pargo will get the call for an audition with the Pistons.

Pargo averaged 10 points per game in just three games and had half the number of assists as Singletary.

 

[sheed]

I haven't watched Ben at all since he left Detroit, so I don't know how much he has left or what he can do now, but I guess I wouldn't mind bringing him back here and letting him retire here. I also think that Singletary could definitely make the team, even if Pargo does instead that would be a decent 3rd PG. I still think Dumars has something coming through a trade.

 

[RipCity32]

The Pistons are expected to add another big man this offseason, with Ben Wallace and Rasho Nesterovic as the top options.

Detroit is looking for a third point guard as well, and will likely give out one-year, veteran's minimum deals to whoever they sign.

 

[sheed]

Just seen that. Either is fine, Ben or Rasho, since we got Wilcox. We can sign Singletary though right? They will probably just go after all vet's.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah we can sign him, why wouldn't we?

Singletary has played in the league before, so it's not like he is a rookie. Should give him a chance.

 

[Pugz]

Ben will be nice, I want him badly. Another PG like Sean wouldn't be bad, overall we had a decent off-season but I think the firing of Curry was good enough for me.

 

[RipCity32]

Big Ben and Little Ben <3

That site should shut down and get a name change, stuckonstuckey.com
Something lol.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah need4sheed is lame now.
Though the creator said she isn't going to change it.

 

[RipCity32]

Check it out. My main man Elie with Deron Washington:


Check out the Villanueva one after.

 

[Pugz]

Charlie vs Brock..

We will be 7Mill in the hole lol.

Elie is the man.

 

[RipCity32]

You never know, Charlie is a lot taller

Haha, yeah I'm sure he would get his ass kicked. I wonder if some of these NBA players could at least hold their own.

 

[Pugz]

Dwight prolly could, but his height would hurt him too.

 

[RipCity32]

Seckbach @RipCity323 deron is the real deal during the summer league he made sports center a few times with the top 10 list... he's on his way 2 nba

WOOT WOOT! lol

 

[Pugz]

lol, he's going to get garbage minutes at best.
