That Josh Smith signing was garbage the second Detroit even announced the signing. :nonono: Hell, signing Charlie V. and Ben (Bum Garbage) Gordan to long term deals was hella worse than that. I feel for yall Pistons fans when the ink dried on those deals.

Could be worse if you were a Knicks fan during the Isiah Thomas era. Those days were nightmares for days.


you forgot the cherry on top. We extended rip hamilton same time we signed Gordon



As much respect I have for Rip for his contributions with the Pistons, his game unfortunately was leaving him and out of loyalty, the previous GM whose name I won't mention took the liberty to signing him when it was the wrong decision to make. One of many to set the Pistons back for quite a while.

Reminds me of when Jerry West was forced by former Grizz owner Michael Hiesley to sign Brian Cardinal to that five year deal he had no business deserving. :crazy: For a capitalist country, we have a talent for throwing our money away. :nonono:

Cardinal was injury-prone, but it may have been hard to tell since it was a talent deficit that led to his lack of minutes early on.

We extended Rip the same week that we trade Chauncey for the cap space to sign Ben Gordon and DNP-CV.

We traded Ben Gordon and a first round pick (instead of using the amnesty provision) to clear the cap space we used on Josh Smith.

Dumars gave Smith the largest contract in Piston history and then declined to trade Monroe.

Dumars was an abomination the last half of his tenure. The only saving grace from his idiocy was that the Raptors took Ross over Dre.

Without that, where would we be now? We probably don't even get SVG if we don't have Drummond. I shudder to think what we'd look like.
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.
