Our undeniable dislike of Flip's performance in Blue aside, it was a savvy move my Joe at the time, an attempt to add some scoring punch without breaking the bank. But as Matt pointed out at the time, Murray was no point guard.1 [...] […] Finally, to cap the offseason, the Pistons went out and signed Flip Murray for the bi-annual exception.

At Foxwoods casino. For those of you that listen to the radio in New York, sing along with me, “The wonder… of it all.” You know what I’m talking about. This is a belated link to a belated post about the Flip Murray trade. How are there two guys named Flip on the same team? That’s going to be confusing. It’s right out of that Seinfeld with T-BONE. Whoa… Have fun with this quote: “I always admired [Webber] as a basketball player and as a person from afar, but I’ve got a different love for him now, now that I know who he is as a man.” That’s Allen Iverson talking. You’ve got to throw a quick N.H. at the end of that statement. Got that one here at NBA Basketball and Other Unrelatedness. The Mavs scored 59 points in a summer league game. That’s bad.

I'm guessing Blalock does make it, though, at least through most of the exhibition season. The Pistons own the rights to Samb but he won't count as a roster spot until the Pistons give him a contract -- if that ever happens, it almost certainly won't be until this time next year.

Did I miss anyone? That's 14. Room for one more. I'm guessing Blaylock doesn't make the team. Does Samb count as a roster spot if he's playing in Europe? Here’s what we have so far:

So Detroit just signed Ron Dupree for 2 years I think it was. Look at how many guards that can play the 1 and 2 we have now? I understand you can never have too many guards, but now we have six of them that are signed. My point is this, we also have Dale, Kato, and Maxiell signed, the team looks very quick on paper now, but my guess is there must be a small or big trade in the works. Anyone one heard anything yet? I guess we'll see what happens. Let the chips fall where they may, my bet is on somekind of a trade. What do you all think about getting Bonzi or some other big dude?

Niiiiice. Take that doubters!!! Maybe we can call him "flip". And then we go out and get Ronald Dupree just for good measure. Niiiiice. Take that doubters!!! Maybe we can call him “flip”.
