okc is a better team than detroit, but their schedule has been even easier.

Cade might be the only Piston to start for OKC.

and Thompson is this team's Rodman - the guy that changes everything when he is on the court regardless of how he shows up (or not) in the box score. 

Yep.

... The Turner thing doesn't make sense to me.  Are you moving Duren if Turner is brought in?  The only position either can play is C.  

I may be wrong on this...

But I think Turner can successfully be pushed over to PF.

I don't think he has the lateral quickness to guard a 4.  But let's put that aside.

His value on defense is rim protection.  Putting him at the 4 means he is spending 90% of his time on the perimeter.  That takes away his valuable rim protection.
