If Tayshawn leaves...

"If Tayshaun Prince leaves Detroit without a starting small forward, the Pistons will have to work through a thin class to find a starter. For depth at the position, the Pistons will take a close look at free agent Mike Dunleavy, who is leaving the Indiana Pacers."

Signing a FA for our starting SF? Really Adrian? And Mike Dunleavy?

Sounds completely wrong to me, but maybe just because I'm not crazy.

are you fucking kidding me?

Like Mike Dunleavey is going to get us into the playoffs, or help us rebuild. We have Jonas Jerebko, Austin Daye, and I’m certain Singler won’t spend the full season in Spain, despite his willingness to do so. If anything, we hire a backup or include a pedestrian SF just to hold up the minutes as part of a bigger deal. Like, uh, say Atlanta amnesty’s Johnson and needs a SG, so we trade them ben gordon, charlie villanueva and brandon knight for josh smith and marvin williams. Williams is overpaid and junky, but who would complain about anything if Smith wears the red and royal blue?

Mike Dunleavy. Mike fucking Dunleavy.

Dude...Your SFs Are

JJ and Daye. Better to look for a big so JJ can play the 3 instead,

This is DBB, and this is what we do.

I Thought I Was Agreeing With You

You really shouldn’t be blogging while having a three way with Rima and Ramon.

Dunleavy is a solid player with health issues. I would like to have a player like him on my team; however, I can’t think of a good reason why he would fit on this particular team.

Pass, and save the money for something that fits, please.

I think of Dunleavy as an average player who has the ability to go off against the right team (probably us, more than likely). I picked him up on my fantasy team in the second half of last year (after his injuries) and he was killing it.
