Avery Johnson appears to be the front runner to replace Michael Curry, even if Joe isn’t saying so. I don’t have a problem with The “Little General” being our coach…now. I don’t think it would have worked with the veteran team we’ve had...

Curry is safe? Joe D., you sly devil. Michael Curry’s on-the-job training has been mercifully squashed, for today he is fired. Unlike the Lions, the Pistons did not chose to go “lalalala I can’t hear you” to their nation of fans.
“This was a difficult...

The NBA Draft has become a secondary story to the blockbuster trade pulled off by the Cavs and Suns. To Cleveland: Shaq. To Phoenix: Ben Wallace, Sasha Pavlovic, the 46th pick and $500,000. To me this moves says that the Cavs are pulling out all the stops in an effort to keep...

The Amir Johnson project is officially over.
Not much time tonight to expound on this trade, so I’m going to piggy-back of Matt Watson’s Fanhouse report for the time being:
Just hours after being traded from the Spurs to the Bucks, Fabricio Oberto is reportedly on the move...

While most of us in Pistons Nation are letting out a big “yeah right” to the proposed trade (to Det: Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo / to Bos: Stuckey, Rip, Prince) Kelly Dwyer is playing a little Devil’s Advocate suggesting Joe missed the boat by him his underling giving...

If any of you reader’s are like me and don’t really follow college hoops then you know that making a pick on whom the Pistons may select with their #15 draft pick wouldn’t be much more than a semi-educated guess. So instead I put together a pretty good cross section...

Ben Gordon has pretty much been a constant on the Pistons offseason radar, well now there’s a rumor from Sam Smith that Ben Gordon’s agent is saying that the Pistons have promised Gordon an $11 million contract.
That would mean we’d have three very good 2-guards,...

If you haven’t heard Bill Laimbeer has stepped down as the Detroit Shock’s head coach. Rick Mahorn will assume the reigns for Billy.

Had to post this one. You have to at least acknowledge that Ron Artest is special, that way it’s open to different interpretations. Here he’s talking about being so over the “The Brawl”, and says he could and would play for the Pistons. Ron is an unrestricted...

Enter power forward option #3, David Lee. I like Lee. He’s rugged post player in the same mold as Paul Millsap. Just another scenario to mull over. One thing that’s clear though is that Joe is going to get someone of note and he’s pretty much in the free agent...

Rumors are abound that the Pistons have now set their sight’s not on Carlos Boozer, but his back-up Paul Milsap. Personally I like that a lot better. They’re both about the same size, but Milsap is almost four years younger, plus he’s not got the injury or loyalty...

After some pretty disappointing seasons the 4 time DPOY is now mulling over retirement. Over at Life on Dumars toasterhands says that Ben Wallace is and always will be his favorite all-time Piston. Many used to feel that way, I wonder how many people still do?

There’s being a lot made of LeBron’s failure to congratulate the Orlando Magic after they eliminated his highly favored Cavs team. The Kingsy’s display of poor sportsmanship is drawing a lot of comparisons to the walkout staged by the Pistons after being swept out...

From Peter Vecsey of the New York Post:
Apparently, rising free agent-of-choice Carlos Boozer is telling confidants he’s either going to Detroit or New Jersey — only way the capsized Nets pull that off is by doing a sign-and-trade. Word has it Jersey will have but three...
