Walker Russell to remain with Pistons

There was some uncertainty as to whether or not the Pistons would keep Walker Russell, especially with Will Bynum and Ben Gordon returning soon, but it appears the team will in fact hang on to him and guarantee his contract, according to HoopsHype:

The Detroit Pistons are keeping guard Walker Russell, agent Giovanni Funiciello tells HoopsHype.

The contract becomes officially guaranteed on February 10. HoopsHype followed the above tweet up with a nice little nugget that I did not realize before: Russell is the first call up ever by the Pistons.

I did not realize before: Russell is the first call up ever by the Pistons.

Didn’t we call up Amir Johnson from Souix City Skyforce a couple times? Or do they consider a call-up a signing from a D League player we didn’t draft?

Also, why haven’t we done this for a big man? There’S this guy who even plays for our own D-League affiliate:

Also, Jarrid Famous… does that name sound familiar to anyone else? Get it? Famous? SNARESNARECRASHGETTHATMANANEMMY!!!

I'm kind of surprised that with how bad this team has been in the past 3 years, and all the injuries sustained

Walker Russell is the first player to ever get called up mid-season. Also, that Watler Sharpe pick is so fucking painful to look at.

Hopefully this means they use the D-league more

I hate how their second rounders don’t get developed and are eventually showed the door. They should start by getting Macklin some run down there.

That's really nice and all

But no. There’s no reason to waste a roster spot on a 29 year old. We. Need. Youth.

I like this because it keeps the idea of Bynum getting traded alive.

interesting article for those that think having shitty teammates has an effect on assists

by mcflies on Feb 7, 2012 8:28 PM EST reply actions  

Giovanni Funiciello is a sweet name.

Will Bynum should go to a good team who has their shit together.
