Dre? Not sold on sending him packing unless we get a stellar return

I wouldn't trade Drummond unless it was a top 3 pick in this draft. I would just recommend they shift they team's construction away from him as the centerpiece. Make him a DeAndre Jordan. Rim runs, put backs, rebounds and maybe-finally playing some defense. That's it! Don't try to be good at a lot of things, just be great at those four things.

RJ? Dump him. He's done for.

Tom Gores should stop reviewing Orlando'09 playoff games and stop believing that Andre is better than Dwight was back in a day (only thing he's better - for now not complaining to GM on his coach, but just wait, it's maybe only because coach is GM).

we better lose in Chicago and play the last 10 games with Ish, Kcp, Johnson, Ellenson, Boban and Udrih, Gbinije and Hilliard from the bench.

Shut Reggie down. Start Ish with Beno playing backup minutes. Cut Drummond down to 15-20 minutes of focused play.

Commit the majority of the minutes to Baynes and Boban. Reduce Leuer's minutes and devote time to Ellenson.

Remove Bullock from the rotation. Play Johnson. The only good thing about his development this season is the lesson he's learned about being a better plus/minus player.

Otherwise the tough love approach while letting vets play like trash has been horrendous.

The loss against the Nets was the nail in the coffin. I thought we would lose, just didn't think we would go about like heartless losers.

That was not Pistons basketball

Best case scenario these next few years is that we are a playoff team that loses in the first round, or maybe gets really lucky and wins one playoff series but we have no hope to be a team that makes it to the conference finals or has a chance to make any real noise in the playoffs.

Harris was a bench player in orlando

Tobias started 74 out of 76 games last season, and one of those two games he didn't was his first in Detroit. Two years ago he started 63 out of 68 games all played for Orlando. So...

Harris isn't much of a problem anyways. That's laughable. He's far down the list with this team.
