that article is the usual JEIII list of excuses for Weaver.
when he writes anything that is even mildly critical of weaver, let me know. the only time i've ever heard him criticize weaver was a very mild criticism that the bagley contract was a bit of an overpay.
nary a criticism of bey while he was here, and nary a criticism of the weisman return for bey. nothing on how monumentally bad this team has been for four straight seasons. just lots of stuff on how great stewart is, how cade is the best, blah blah blah. not one article on how this team doesnt work around cade. just one excuse after another for a gm with the worst record of all time.
i expect the team to be mildly better if morris and bogey ever get healthy. if they dont, that will be the excuse. if they do come back and the pistons are more competitive but still losing, it will be "they're on the right track." more bs from the pistons media department, aka the beat writers.
