I say "seemed to suggest" because we never received a conclusive translation, but whether or not that's actually what he meant is somewhat of a moot point as Joe Dumars already went on the record earlier this summer saying he has no plans to trade him.

He was sixth in the league in offensive boards last year, and as he grows I can see him becoming quite a player-- he can shoot, he can keep the offense going, and he can be a strong force on the defensive end.

While I’m lamenting the fact we didn’t grab Brevin Knight instead of Flip Murray, I’d be really excited about a big trade for Pachulia…

We've signed Murray and Dupree when we already have people that can fill those positions. We need a backup pg. Not a chucker or Dupreee. Joe better make this more clear.

Dupree is not very good. His signing somehow makes Carlos Delfino expendable? If we trade for Al-Harrington, he's a forward. We need a bloody center! This doesn't make any sense, but then that has been Joe's theme this offseason. Am I the only one finding a hard time following this reasoning?
