    Cory Maggette a Detroit Piston

    Traded for Gordon and a future 1st rounder.

    At least they got rid of a horrid contract in Gordon. Not too thrilled about giving up a number 1.

    Now just need to unload CV.

    Terrible for Detroit. Gordon sucks sure, that looks like an even trade for those two fukks. Although I have always liked Maggette. HOWEVER, a future 1st rd pick? C'mon - Pistons 1st rd picks will be high for a long long time. too much.

    To be honest, I didn't know Maggette was still alive.

    We haven't heard from Gordon since he went to Motown. It's like he's been out of the league. Good trade for Charlotte. They have money to spend and no one is going there anyways.

    WTF? They gave up a future 1st round pick for Maggette? Gordon and Maggette aren't winning anyone any championships, why throw away a 1st round pick in the future for a move that won't help you now especially since Maggette doesn't have many years left in him.

    I see it saves them about 15 mil, so they know they suck and are just trying to save money. Gonna be a long time before Detroit is relevant again.

    How does Charlotte save money? They took on over 14.6 million more than Maggette.

    I was saying Detroit is saving money, which explains a bit why they would make a terrible trade giving up a future 1st.

    I get that, the pick is protected anyway - top 8 I believe.

    I was more responding to Bill Dozer who is saying something about it benefiting Bobcat money.

    Nah, was saying the Bobcats aren't worried about contracts. I like the trade for them because they get another pick and a better scorer. That article says Gordon shot over 40% from the arc last yr. Detroit was knee deep in 4 foot guards. The Bobcats need some players in their prime to go along with the lottery guys. No one is going to come there to play with 8 rookies. Not getting the #1 pick hurts you Charlotte folks sooo bad. An impact rook is huge because you get a player everyone wants to play with at a rookie salary. D Howard and D Williams along with Davis for the next 3 years is really appealing. Now Charlotte is looking at trading down? I dont think they take Ben Gordon's salary if they had Davis coming aboard.

    Magette is better than Gordan. Still doesn't do shit for the stones. Magette is gonna sit on the bench now? He plays the same position as Tayshaun, obviously better than Tay, but wtf. Trade fukkin Rodney STuckey he fukkin sucks.

    Gordon wasn't starting anyway, Maggette will backup the 3 and play a few minutes with Tayshaun then I'm sure one of them will get hurt eventually.

    Dumars should put a fukkin gun to his head and pull the trigger

    Remember taking darko the human victory cigar over Dwayne Wade in the NBA draft? Remember trading billups for an old ass Iverson??

    He's made some terrible moves but he has a 10 year pass after putting together two finals teams and a championship with the players available. He made Billups. Brought in Hamilton for Stackhouse (?). Ben Wallace would probably be in the UFC without Dumars. I remember if that team scored 75 points it was a thrill ride. Great grind it out blue collar team that took down the Lakers dream team.

    Yeah but those genius moves have been supplemented with some of the worst decisions not just in this era, but in nba history. People talk about Jordan going 3rd, Oden before Durant. I think that Milicic was the worst pick in NBA history. I can understand you passing on Wade at the 2 pick, even Bosh.

    But when you pass up on a 19 yr old in Carmello that just won an NCAA title with some average players, you have some serious issues. Then the Billups move for A.I. The Pistons collapsed.

    He's also hired some of the worst coaches over the years.

    Another terrible decision was deciding to pay Charlie V, one of the worst players in the NBA, all that money, especially when all the top tier guys were still in play that summer. Some of the moves he's made makes me question if he still understands the game. He also signed Tayshaun to a 4 year 40 mill contract I believe? Are you serious? 10 mil/year for a guy whose not even top 25 at his position anymore.

    Parenthetically, I'd just like to say that Garnett ended Charlie V's career. After he called him a cancer to the league, he pretty much imploded. Guy will come in for like 7 minutes and he'll literally take 12 shots in 7 minutes.
