Other than a salary dump, why trade Bey?

Mike Curtis of the News referred to Grant Hill as a "Pistons legend."
I remember Grant Hill for shitting the bed in crunch time all the time. A legend here? Hardly.

With last nights win over legendary coach Popovich, it might be time for the Pistons to lock up Casey long term!
On a serious note, I see you with your double double Mr. Livers.

In the years after he was on the team he was treated as such. Especially in advertising.

It's the fact we traded Grant Hill for Ben Wallace and Chucky Atkins, putting us on the road to a championship -- now THAT is legendary!
I must admit I'm intrigued by the potential of the seven-foot Wiseman. It's not as if we were a winner with Bey anyhow and we could sure use Wiseman's height and size; there were already too many "tweeners" on this team. I hope the trade is not rescinded.

The Warriors have until 9:30pm Sunday to make a decision.

Yeah, I hated the trade originally, but it turned out to be the best ever.

No Mark Champion on the radio today in Toronto. Got Johnny Kane instead.
Another game they could have won with a couple less turnovers. They scored 41 points in the final quarter and still couldn't finish it. Raptors win 119-118.

It's being reported that the Warriors approved the trade.

Well, at least Wiseman looked pretty decent on both ends in his Pistons debut. With the Celtics dropping threes from out on Cape Cod the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

Bagley is making his presence felt in his return from a broken hand, especially in the low post. He has a double-double at halftime in Duren's absence.
Wiseman also ended up with a double-double in a starting role, albeit while fouling out with over six minutes to go.
Lately the Pistons have been making both myself and the tankniks happy -- playing competitive basketball while still losing.

Pistons have bought out Nerlens Noel contract. He had a $9.68 million option this offseason.
Noel has only played in 14 games this season.

I always wondered what he was even doing on the roster if he wasn't going to play, he's always been a serviceable big man.

Our star rookie Jaden Ivey pulls a Chris Webber and calls a timeout when the team didn't have one.
Pistons lose by two after coming back from a 20 point second half deficit. Oh man, this one hurts.
