btw, the spurs are 3-17 with worse advanced stat numbers than detroit.

what's wrong with suh? i wouldnt want him because i question his motivation and he's old. who cares what he did in the past?

is this worse than 79-80 when they went 16-66? let's remember, before that season started the pistons traded their first round pick for bob mcadoo. that pick ended up #1 and the celtics took joe barry carroll and then flipped him to golden state for robert parish and the warriors #1 pick who ended up being kevin mchale. so not only did they have the worst record in franchise history, they got no #1 pick out of it AND built the foundation for the celtics' dynasty. great work d*ick vitale. so troy weaver still has some work to do to be the worst gm in pistons history. that said, vitale did win 30 games the year before, which is 11 more games than weaver's team has won in the last TWO YEARS!

"but monte morris isnt here so we really cant judge this team yet." - JEIII (probably) keith langlois will just flat out tell you the pistons are good, it just hasnt translated into wins yet. we can all get mad but it wont matter. gores isnt even awake yet, he has no idea.

hey, dumars was good for half his career. ken holland too. weaver has entered millen territory.

49 points for desmond bane!

someone should try guarding desmond bane.

and then scrapped it because they scored too quickly. and then brought a similar scheme back when they had moore/perriman/morton. because he had no identity other than clown. those teams underachieved massively because they had a clown running the team and not a real coach.

to continue the zach lavine discussion, the bulls have won two straight now that lavine is "injured." theyre moving the ball. theyre passing. theyre playing defense. coby white (who the pistons could have had) is on fire. its like theyve had a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. its as if a cancer has been removed from their body. its because zach lavine is a loser. on the lakers where lebron can tell him to pass, he'll be great. on the pistons he will dominate the ball, sulk, and the team will be bad and break apart worse than now. dont do it.

exactly!!!!! he was a moron.

one man's amateur box score reader/you tube highlight watcher/old hockey fan who has seen a lot come and go and been burned by thinking yves racine was the next reed larson... positives: edvinsson is ready now and should really be on the top team. the downside of bringing in petry at the last minute, imo. asp looks like an offensive beast. small but with a great shot and great offensive mobility. defense? shut your whore mouth about defense... danielson was so impressive in training camp. scoring decently in the whl. he still reminds me of a poor man's jonathan toewes. middle: i'm not sold on cossa and hope they trade him for a big piece considering they have augustine waiting in the wings now. mazur has been hurt too long to tell. he needs time to get back up to speed. before the injury he was knocking on the door. i have a feeling his ceiling is a more sound bertuzzi, his likely outcome is veleno. wallinder is in his first year in ahl, too early to tell but he's not exactly lighting it up. buium is still in college but his numbers are ok. his little brother was profiled as an up and coming prospect recently...but not our guy. he may max out as ollie maata if he makes it. or part of a trade like sebrango was. like sebrango he was a surprise subtraction from some national teams. might be maxxing out now. lombardi is really small but i still have high hopes. he's also not ripping it up but its his first season in the ahl. i think the wings are pushing their guys quickly to the ahl this time to give them a taste of the physical nature of the nhl. dropping: kasper hasnt done anything. very disappointing so far. looks like a try hard third line center with some skill. feisty. jt compher ceiling with a brad marchand attitude? a get under your skin guy more than a game breaking talent. soderblum looks more and more like a career ahl/nhl yo yo guy. his skating may never develop to the point he's an nhl player. that said, if he can get stronger and keep his great handle, he might have a career as a gargantuan tomas holmstrom. future: they took a bunch of big defensemen last year. havent heard a ton about them. dower nilsson profiles as a potential scorer but he's not exactly ripping it up this year and he's still in the swedish "minors". compare dower nilsson to asp. asp is two years younger and has 8 goals in sweden's top division. dower nilsson isnt even there yet. buchelnikov is only 20 and is playing full time in russia's top league now. has 4 goals in 24 games. could be one to watch. red savage has 16 points in 16 games for msu this year.

fontes was awful. they had an identity with barry and the run and shoot and then he changed them to a two tight end team overnight. he lobbied for andre freaking ware. pat swilling. every mistake the lions ever made in that time was because of that moron. he went into philly for the playoffs against an 8-8 philly team led by RODNEY PEETE and got obliterated. fontes was a clown, not a football coach.

traded for james wiseman. a good bench role player traded for the worst player in the nba. ladies and gentlemen, troy weaver.

the most philly thing ever. some fat ass white dude on the sideline trying to fight people at an eagles game.

the jets are actually doing pretty well considering they lost rogers and had to start zach wilson. that's not a saleh thing, that's a gm thing.

filip zadina has 3 goals and 2 assists in 21 games played for san jose. -19. so whose fault is it now, filip?

probably the same deal as ras. ras has kind of disappointed this year. i wonder if the injury is still bothering him?

its really impossible to rank them, its more of a grouping. but this is a message board! so rank we will! 1) notre dame 2) alabama 3) ohio state 4) michigan 5) texas 6) oklahoma 7) penn state 8 georgia 9) lsu 10) florida state HM: nebraska, tennessee, florida, usc, texas a&m, oregon, washington. i dont think any other big ten teams qualify. no way for wisconsin. no way for clemson. they're already fading away. nebraska is only there because of their amazing history and massive fan base. sleeping giant.

its hard to say. how do you measure it? tv ratings? success? fan bases? money?

veleno seems to have displaced rasmussen as the "guy who goes into the corners" on the top line. i did not have that on the ol bingo card.

at what point does stevie call up edvinsson?

phew. too close for comfort.

is he better than what you have now? he hasnt done anything since coming back from injury. youre basing your whole opinion on draft status and what he did in college, thst was three years ago.

the risk is you lose a third round pick. and youre not guaranteed a comp pick for him if you sign other free agents. this aint baseball. and that assumes someone else wants to pay big money to a guy who has been injured and never returned to any sort of form since the injury. pass. and he had a rep as lazy and selfish in washington.

in fairness, florida state louisville was on at the same time as michigan iowa. georgia bama had no competition for cfb viewers.
