The Genius of the Allen Iverson Trade: Gone

Today the talk is that the Pistons have their sights set on Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva.

Both players are good, of course. But nothing like Chris Bosh and LeBron James, you know?

I find the Gordon story particularly perplexing. He needs the ball and playing time to do what he does, which is also true of Rip Hamilton and Rodney Stuckey. I can’t imagine how this is the first step in rebuilding a champion. (via)

In retrospect, has there been a more depressing season for a playoff NBA team than the 08-09 Pistons?

The players never respected Michael Curry. They called him “MC,” not “Coach,” or “Coach Curry,” and they often rolled their eyes when you asked about their coach.
