We declined the unguaranteed 2nd season of his contract when we got him, he resigned.

We traded him, the trade was voided.

He entered free agency and we added Burks and Ivey, he resigned.

We just have to accept the fact that the Pistons are never fully getting rid of him.

So what your saying is that he is the teal jerseys, in human form?

Damn.

More like Taco Bell nacho fries. They are nice to have, but you don’t miss them when they’re gone. Because inevitably they become available again.

Nah. He's better than the teal jerseys. And unlike the teal jerseys, I'm not bothered by his return.

I disagree. He's a better all around player than Galloway.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's great. But he's a solid defender, a decent passer with decent floor vision, and can handle the ball.

Galloway was a feisty defender. But on offense, he was a one trick pony. If he's not making 3's, he's useless.

It's McRib. Kind of happy to see a familiar face, then you grow weary of them real fast.

Depends on how you define tanking. For some of the folks here that equates to not signing a big name this off-season. I call that “following a sound rebuilding process.”

I think McGruder is exactly what you want in an end of the bench guy, especially for a really young team.
