The news is in-Antonio has returned. Chauncey is next. Thanks Dyess for coming back!!!! Love his attitude.

McDyess will return to Pistons

AUBURN HILLS — Antonio McDyess is in. On Thursday, he notified the Pistons that he will be picking up his $6.3 million option and returning to the team next season.

“We analyzed everything,” said Andy Miller, McDyess’ agent. “At the end of the day, he decided he was comfortable with the situation in Detroit and he wanted to repay the loyalty the Pistons have shown him.”

Miller said he expects to meet with Pistons president Joe Dumars in July to try to hammer out a contract extension that would keep the McDyess in Detroit through the 2009-10 season.

McDyess, who will be 33 next season, averaged eight points and six rebounds this past season.

Chad Ford’s draft mock, for instance, has Rodney Stuckey and Marco Belinelli with Detroit’s first two picks.

Chad Ford has it right on the thinking with #15 - Detroit looking to take what slips to them between Young, Stuckey, Law, Thornton, et cetera, if any of them do.

Chad Ford has no clue what Detroit’s going to do, and that’s how I like it.

But for sake of giggles, I can’t help but think Detroit couldn’t have just traded away Carlos Delfino to select Marco Belinelli, aka Italian Delfino.

It seems the national media has no clue what San Antonio’s doing, either.

Stuckey will be in the green room tonight so you would have to think someone gave him a promise.

If we draft Josh McRoberts, I will slam my head against a brick wall exactly fourteen times.

If Al Thornton fell to us at 15, I would fall out of my chair and thank jebus.

Chad Ford’s ESPN Chat Transcript Blurb:

Tim (Pontiac, MI): Are the Pistons still targeting Rodney Stuckey at 15? Will he be there?

Chad Ford: I don’t think they are targeting him. I think if Al Thornton and Nick Young are off the board, he’s the guy. If those other guys are there … I’m not sure what they’ll do. Stuckey is also getting play at No. 11.

The “I’m not sure what they’ll do” . . . my reading into this hopes that the last two weeks of silence equaled plenty of phone calls and long work days from Joe Dumars and company, with plenty of time spent on Plan X . . . in the form of a trade of the pick for a player we can use right now.

Reports of Javaris Crittendon vary. Seeing his name bandied about later in the first round tell me that #15 is too high.

No reaching.

None.

A player selected at 15 should play the next day.

I trust Joe to make this happen. Future is cloudy . . . correct pick clears the cloud cover. Incorrect pick brings rain and snow.

LF: I was just trying to round up as many mock drafts as I could find (er, as Bullets Forever could find … I was kind of lazy and just went with what they had). As for the title, that came last. But yeah, it does seem weird in hindsight — at least I designated as such the ones I did.

RopeAdope: I have no idea what we’re supposed to be catching — I just do what everybody else is doing. It’s fly-fishing, though, and I don’t really know how to do that, so it usually just results in me standing around in the river in my waders drinking a beer and smoking a ciger waiting for everyone else to come back.

15- Stuckey/Young/Law
27-Williams/Byars/Almond

Those are the guys I think Detroit has the best chance to end up with, and I would be happy with them.

Josh Friggin’ McRoberts at 15 by Comcast? I don’t even really want him at 27. I want to cancel my internet/cable to take money away from those idiots…. wow.

So is it salmon your hoping to catch? The only thing I know about Grayling is when there is snow on the ground and I’m trying to holler at a few snow bunnies on the slopes of Tree Tops.

Regardless who the Piston’s draft its all still a crap shoot and you never really know who will translate their A game into the NBA.

Summarizing 17 mock drafts that include three of your own seems kind of weird to me. Didn’t “Seven out of 14 mocks” sound authoritative enough?

I’ll be awfully glad when the draft finally starts. My tolerance for BS, unfounded rumors and pointless trade ideas is not what it once was.
