He hit another winner last night.. How CB did not retire a Piston is grounds for being fired right there...What a debacle.

Get Started[color=#006400 said:biggunsbob[/color]]I am happy for him too but we were all singing Joe D's praises for many years and I am grateful for the one championship he got us in 2004 running this club but he probably cost us a chance at a few more with lossy decisions. Come on Joe.... Wade was available among other's...

I'm not defending Joe's recent signings and recent GMing, but it is so hard to get a good big guy, and pretty much every GM said they would have taken Darko as well. (I'm assuming that's what you were referring to) Darko was such a stud back home and wasn't one of the foreign bigs that wasn't scared to go in the post. For some reason his game just didn't translate to the NBA.
I'm not sure what the Pistons will do with Joe. I guess they will give him one more opportunity with this little rebuilding project he has going, and if it fails, then he will "step down."

I know you are right... I read all the info on Darko and we all assumed we would take him.. I guess that is the difference between the Wings and the Piston's... Better scouting I guess. Or maybe it was bad luck losing to the Spur's and losing those other eastern conference finals.. man we were so close to being a dynasty... I mean a player or two away from multiple championship.. I probably should not bash JD to much.
