Stuckey chased by Chinese

by G.D. on Oct 25, 2011 10:08 AM EDT

Will Rodney Stuckey become a Tiger? If he goes to China I would at least hope he elects to play for Red Pandas. They must have some club named Red Pandas in China. Don't they? Can we trade him for a bunch of red pandas? Then we would at least get something useful in return. If we can convince Chinese to throw in some local chow I would think that JoeD goes for it. Doesn't he?

I sure hope this happens

I have doubts, though. I wonder if the qualifying offer we made to him will hold up when (if) the lockout ends. I’m thinking he might be penalized, but then again all bets are probably off during a lockout.

if we lose the season we lose his rights anyway. I say go for it. if we get half a season then we can figure out how shitty Knight is going to be.

Serious comment on this...

Obviously, we have no idea how a new CBA will impact our options with Stuckey. Presumably, we’d still have some under the new CBA, and presumably, there will be some sort of clause to handle situations like this one that protect the owners and teams (i.e., we’ll still have rights to Stuckey when he returns).

Assuming that the Pistons would still have rights if Stuckey plays overseas for a year, I am all for this. It will give Knight and Bynum playing time at the 1 (both young(ish), both cheap), it will alleviate the logjam at the 2 (and hopefully, make at least one of BG/Rip attractive due to uptick in productivity with an uptick in minutes), and it gives us a completely commitment-free year to analyze Stuckey’s long-term value (!!!!!!).

The more I think on this, the more I hope it happens. It’s like, the best-case scenario for the franchise, and it’s good for Stuck, too. Win all around.

DO IT CHINA!

DUMARS: Hello, Guangdong Tigers? Listen, I’ve got P.F. Chang’s on the other line, and they’re going to give me a $50 gift certificate AND throw in a large order of crab rangoon. I also heard that Panda Express is interested. So if you REALLY want Stuckey you need to do better. I’m hungry dammit!

Yes, Guangdon Tigers, I'll answer some questions about Mr. Stuckey.

Well, yes, he’s long.
Oh, and he’s definitely smooth.
Stroke it? Uh, yeah, sure. Have you heard him yell “hey!”?
