Thanks for the shout out, Packey. I’m thrilled to be part of the Wages of Wins Network. I hope to write 1-2 articles on the Pistons each season moving forward.

Just so those of you who don’t care for advanced statistics know, I didn’t put Packey up to posting this here :)

he owes me for publishing the term “benaissance” on his site, as I own that trademark. Henceforth, “win shares” shall be called “payne poops” until properly credited. my people will call his people, and they will call him insulting names.

okay, so I drank them. great work, gulks— awesome read!

Good stuff, brgulker! Thanks! I have a love/hate relationship with stats. I’m terrible with numbers and compiling them and understanding them unless it’s spelling out by someone else, so I actually really enjoy reading articles like this (and all the other stat stuff compiled on here). Even though I’m not a stat-head, and it’s a totally different perspective than I’m used to and often shows interesting things I wouldn’t have noticed on my own.

The Pistons already have way too much money invested in the guard position. I don’t think Stuckey is near the player that Rondo is but if Stuckey costs even half of what Rondo cost then the Pistons would do well to trade him for a front court asset. Stuckey is on a cheap contract now and I think you are more likely to get Bynum at a bargain price than Stuckey so it makes sense to move Stuckey on now rather than overpay later. Although no GM thinks they are overpaying when they ink a contract.

Nice article, Mr. Gulker.
