Yes, they have fallen short the last few years but with a smart, veteran team like detroit always being there deep into the playoffs, its just a matter of time before they break through and win that next title. and next year will prove me right. And to all you rasheed wallace haters talking about trade him for this and for that. Yall dont know shit. Rasheed Wallace has been holden it down for the pistons in the playoffs ever since hes been with detroit. the most consistent player during the playoffs. Weve got the best team in the league and we will win another title in 08.

He's certainly not getting too many minutes in the 4Q. 2) I'd prefer to have him back as well. I think Detroit is probably a better fit for him than Dallas. 1) I don’t see Webber playing 25 min a game if he resigns w/ Detroit. He’s certainly not getting too many minutes in the 4Q.

Perhaps you should come back when Portland has qualified for a playoff spot, or at LEAST wait until Portland's roster has been trimmed from 31 to 15 players... As for Dallas/GS... Golden State isn't "designed" to beat Dallas... Baron Davis + Nellie = Ballz the size of cannons. Avery Johnson + Dirk Novitski = Not. That's why round one ended the way it did, period. Dallas can't possibly do enough about this flaw in a single offseason. “Flawless Victory”

No really, he has a point guy. Perhaps you should come back when Portland has qualified for a playoff spot, or at LEAST wait until Portland’s roster has been trimmed from 31 to 15 players…

I am not even taking into consideration that the east is getting better. The Mavs are much better than the Pistons. I hope that Trail Blazers make it to the payoffs and beat them, but they got beat last season by a team that was designed just to beat them, and no other playoff team. The Mavs need something to put them over the edge, maybe Chris Webber is it, maybe not. Please Pistons fans, your team is on the downhill fast.

We have two backup guards who probably aren't any good. Neither of them is making significant salaries meaning you wouldn't even have to find a trading partner. Either encourage Lindsey to step into the front office, or encourage Flip to see if Boston needs a backup SG by releasing him. Oh btw, as for which contract you dump?

I think we're ALOT like the Mavs in that both teams have great players but serious flaws as well. The difference is I couldn't possibly own 3 different jerseys repping a white kid from Germany :) Jokes aside, honestly I don't rate Dallas ahead of ANY of the other big teams in the west (SA, Phoenix). I have us, Houston and Dallas as the next tier (yeah I know Cleveland made the finals, I'm not convinced to be honest. That team doesn't have holes to fill, it's got craters). As for Webber, again, I'm NO serious fan of his game but honestly people need to realize that RIGHT now, we don't have a widebody in the paint when Nazr leaves for rest (or injury, or picking up two consecutive fouls, or just sucking). It's not like you pay the fat guy tonnes of money, but pretending "sheer bulk" isn't relevant in an NBA playoff series just seems stupid. I'd rather give Webber 3.5 Million now and ask him to ride the pine for the time being than find the team working out Wang Zhi Zhi in Jan because we have no center (if Nazr gets hurt). IMHO most of the problems with Webber last year come from Flip automatically promoting him to the starting rotation even though really he'd have helped us MUCH more sharing time with Mohammed (See the Mavs current 5 spot situation).

The Piston will get the Championship this time because of the new management rules. I can't see him winning on any other team. man I really want Chris Webber to return to the Piston.
