The Detroit News put together a cool little PDF of the Pistons roster featuring some random facts about each player. (Why it’s a PDF rather than just an image or simple web page I don’t know, but that’s beside the point.)
One of the facts they had the players provide was, “Teammate I’d like to trade players with for a day.” The most common answer? Rasheed Wallace.
As Alex Acker said, “I could be as obnoxious and crazy and I wanted and nobody would say a thing.” Or as Arron Afflalo said, “I’d get to yell at everybody for a day.” Chauncey Billups, on the other hand, said Walter Herrmann: “I want to be a rock star like him.”
So yeah, you get the point, funny stuff. In any case, check out Jason Maxiell response to the left — it’s the kind of answer that make women swoon and DBB readers laugh out loud.
Did you see how many times Sheed seia he wants to coach? Man he´s on the line, he´s sending the message. This guy is going to be the first guy to win both player and coach ring with the Pistons.
That was an interesting read. McDyess said Chauncey, too, for similar reasons. Acker, Afflalo, Amir, Cheickh, and Stuckey all said ‘Sheed.
Also, I didn’t realize that Maxiell played the trumpet or that Herrmann and Samb are good friends.
You know all the young guys want to be sheed for a day so they could dish out some of the sh*t that sheed must give them all the time. And besides, how many other pistons were mentioned in a Chappels show skit? Rasheed Wallace!
Antonio McDyess would make an awesome second grade teacher.
I think that Tayshun had by far the best response when asked what teammate he would like to trade places with for a day
“Will Bynum, I would like to see what its like to be that short and yet jump that high. That would be interesting”
I think that is too funny especially when he added that last sentence.
===================
Well you heard from Sheed himself boys and girls
If I weren’t playing basketball I’d be “coaching basketball”.
You all can bank on that happening and he will be a darn good coach too. Bet on it.
Mike: I won’t be surprised if Sheed does someday pick up the clipboard and whistle. He’s a natural teacher, barking out instructions to younger players when he’s on the court and the bench. Even Flip saw the potential.
I would let McDyess babysit my son.
Well the deal is done.
We got him through 2012
Pistons sign Jason Maxiell for 4 years, $20 million

A win for the Pistons
A win for Maxiell
A win for the Pistons fans
A loss for our competition especially the Cavs who were set to make a serious run at him next summer he was available.
