New Players

You can't really read into stuff like this too much. I know there's an urge to find meaning in every little thing, but there are tons of guys who have that same expression when taking pictures. Totally opposite conclusions can be drawn from this:

If you look closely you'll notice he's drinking an Avita Water!! That's a local Michigan brand of Artisan Water, and the official water of The Palace of Auburn Hills!!

He clearly loves Avita Water and is PUMPED to be here!!

He just said on twitter that hes ready to show people that he will be good without his brother and that hes very very happy to be playing with KCP he also said drummond is a beast

Here's his radio interview with Matt Dery from a little bit ago..

I found this, and was encouraged by his D in the video.

That said, I think the plan is for him to at least start his time here in Detroit aas our starting SF who will also get time as PF as a reserve.

As Stanley progresses, I see Morris' time at SF shrinking (eventually Stanley will take over starting gig) and his time at PF expanding.

SVG looked thrilled, Mook not so much. Hope he buys into system and gives his contribution. If he gets involved he'll be at least an average starter.

Thanks for the comments and insight on the press conference guys, I wasn't able to watch it, but I was really curious about what SVG would say and what Morris' reaction was going to be like. This is about what I expected from Morris.

That was nice d by morris, but more than anything it made me dislike Gay even more.

[Tweet]@DetroitPistons: UPDATE: Today's media availability with Aron Baynes and Reggie Bullock is being postponed to a later date. Check back for a new date & time.[/Tweet]

[Piston Pete]

Something smells fishy. Why the delay to introduce Baynes and Bullock?

Well it is the offseason so Baynes maybe had some trouble getting here from Australia/NZ?

Morris as actually very talented, he just has yet to put it altogether.

Man this team really is a Pistons team. Headcase. Check. Euro player. Check. Vagabond pg. Check. Promising young defensive rookie. Check. Monster center. Check. Crazy good bench. Check. Everyone can play defense. Check.

3 **** months. Good grief. I gotta go outside and play or something...

[Pharaoh]

Vagabond PG?

RJ has been on 2 teams, Jennings on 2 teams...neither has the history of Billups though RJ comes close.

He shined in the playoffs and then was supposed to be a 6th Man? That's not gonna happen until/unless he starts for 2 years and it's proven he's not up for it.

I'm all for guys accepting roles but I would never want a player that was content with being a bench guy. Every guy should want big minutes and to be on the floor in the closing moments - otherwise why play?

Ambition is a wonderful thing

Well, the press conference has come and gone for Bullock and Baynes. So there goes that theory
