Amazing what he was able to achieve for us in 2004 but a few major drafting errors cost us a dynasty.
He's ready to start working again

ImHeisenberg wrote:It was a good podcast. Woj approached a lot of the topics many fans point to in Dumars' tenure. Drafting Darko. Dumars spoke more to how poorly they scouted, and said they also drafted for need, as their front court was weak behind Ben Wallace. Joe didn't speak on the missed opportunity of Bosh, Wade or Anthony.
Joe said his biggest failure was trying to "rebuild on the fly", which many of us criticized him for. He said, if he could do it over, he would have completely stripped the team down after the Billups trade.
Ultimately, Joe came off as charismatic and a fun interview for Pistons fans. I highly recommend everyone give it a listen.
He did seem to make a jab at SVG and having a bloated front office staff.

Hope Stan is listening to this rebuild on the fly stuff. We're close to being in that position.

Doesn't "rebuild on the fly" imply that we were recently "flying"? I don't think that applies to this situation.
