Beginning to see why Detroit gave up Delfino for 2nd rounder
so we're finally starting to see why the Detroit Pistons gave him up for so little. Everyone thought this could potetially have been a steal, but an organziation like the pistons(who have many great players) knows what they're doing....Sure he shows potential, but Detroit knew of Delfino's rather inconsistant play, terrible shot selection, streaky jumper, bone head turnovers. Im starting to see why it wasn't much of a loss for the Pistons to give up Delfino for a second rounder...

Is he a starter calibre player? No. But he's definitely a good rotation player on most teams.
werd plus I love his solid passing abilities
โOn paper, in terms of just pure talent, I would say, yes, this is the best team weโve had,โ - Bryan Colangelo (Sep 29, 2008)

Nah, I think it was a great trade. Delfino's streaky, but he's still a damn solid player. Odds are those picks won't amount to much and it's not hard to acquire 2nd rounders anyways, teams are always selling 2nd round picks on draft night for a Few Hundred K.
The Pistons only moved him because they had to clear playing time for their new young guys. Stuckey, Afflalo and Hayes. They also didn't want to just lose him for nothing at the end of the year.

Him and Kapono are role players, and the only reason they're struggling lately is because we've played good teams who know their **** and arent giving them any space due to our lack of a backup PG and that backup pg getting in the lane and making things happen. Not much you can do when youre told to stand in the corner and theres no movement in the offence at all. If they were playing with either Jose or TJ in those stretches this thread would never have been made. Role players need to be set up for their offence, especially in our pg controlled offence, and when theyre in the game we're lucky to even get a shot off before the shot clock buzzer due to playing with Dmart or Dixon.
