Brandon Knight adds to the logjam in the backcourt with Richard Hamilton, Ben Gordon, Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum. At times it seemed none was happy with his role or minutes, and the addition of Knight would only seem to complicate matters.

However, it gives the Pistons some flexibility to decide what to do with those players, and Dumars made a point to say he'll continue to add young talent.

It wasn't a shot at Hamilton per se, but it's no secret Dumars would love to move the Pistons' all-time leading playoff scorer, who's on the downside of his career. The Pistons won't give him away, but they are shopping him.
Two things.
1) I hope we get rid of Bynum too, I can't stand him lol.
2) Why wouldn't we give him away? We aren't going to get "young talent" for Hamilton. If we go into the regular season with Gordon and Hamilton still on the roster, I'll be so pissed.

That's all I'm asking lol.
I think Bynum would be the worst player possible to have around Knight, IMO.

When Knight was drafted, I was thinking that meant the end for Rip. We do need to get rid of at least one of these guys.

I don't understand why we wouldn't give him away. We gave him a terrible extension, and we have too many guards. We would be lucky for anyone to even take him.

I just read that Utah is willing to move Millsap for the right price. I say we hit them up and try to push them into taking Rip. Millsap + a couple fillers for Rip + a future pick?

I'd trade Stuckey for Millsap in a heartbeat.
I guarantee Utah is looking at us too, since we have a surplus of guards.

Trade Stuckey, and buyout Rip/Gordon.
Knight-Gordon/Rip-Daye/Jerekbo-Millsap-Monroe

I like that.

I still doubt Utah trades anybody other than Okur...if anybody.

But hey, I didn't see them trading DWill for Harris.

No one wants Okur though. They have to trade someone with value lol.

I'll miss Rip.
Always be my all-time favorite Piston.
But his time here is up.
