    Yes, Montgomery was upset about a lack of carries. Yes, he probably said use me or trade me. Yes, the Lions probably said we want to keep you but if you insist on a trade we will honor it. Yes, the Lions want to establish that they are not going to cut him or give him away.

    Unsaid in the whole thing is that the Lions didn't go away from him because they think he lost a step. They went away from him because their offensive efficiency went way down, as did their total number of carries overall. They were relying on Gibbs to try to manufacture offense because their OL and blocking schemes were trash. 

    I doubt he will be traded and I hope he is not.  

    exactly.  monty got less carries becuase gibbs is one of the best players in the nfl, and a home run threat every time he touches the ball.  no offense to monty, but gibbs needs more touches if the lions are to win games.  monty is replaceable, gibbs is not.

    That isn't Hongbit's point.

    Will LANGDON follow your advice? Or will he sign Duren to whatever the extension costs?

    That was Hongbit's point.

    The rest of your post was moot point in the context of what Trajan Langdon will actually do...

    Right?

    he wasnt responding to bonghit.

    i think its inevitable that the pistons re-sign duren.  and i also think he's getting the max or close to it.  so is ausar.

    its the easiest thing to do, so that's what will be done.  

    i think gores will pay over the tax.  spending money has never been his weakness.  his weakenss is vanity and his sister in law...

    I would love a Thomas/ Faulk combo...

    What's the cost?

    I'm assuming at bare minimum it's Danielson, a 1st or two, and maybe one of MBN/Carter Bear or goalie prospect (not-named Cossa).

    Also... I would add a power forward to that. Someone who can take heavier playoff hitting and plow right through that to net front and scoring dirty goals. Or not dirty goals even...

    you wouldnt trade cossa for robert thomas?

    Yep.  The new CBA rules pretty much dictate a max type player has to be able to create for himself and/or others.  

    There are multiple bigs that can shoot and play defense that I still wouldn't max. I was really hesitant about JJJ and his max contract.  I wouldn't have maxed Chet.  Both of those guys can shoot three's and are both good defenders.  Bam is the same way and I wouldn't max him.  

    Gafford would have been a nice get.  He was also rumored to be available for a 1st and he would have fit into the TPE before they blew it on Soric.  For the next 3 seasons he makes about $18 million per year.  

    Centers are basically the running backs of the NBA.  Don't pay them.

    they had all their picks, tobias' money, duncan robinson's tradeable contract, and even a young tradeable player with potential.

    and they did nothing with any of it.

    now theyre backed into a corner with duren and ausar will be next.  you could have shaken up the core and gone for it but instead did the easy thing: nothing.

    so we'll ride with cade/duren/ausar and sign free agent shooting.
