Vince Ellis goes long with an interesting profile of Maurice Cheeks

An interesting overview of the last eight revisions to Chad Ford's big board, showing whose stock has risen and fallen over the last few months.

I think the title says it all.

Oklahoma City Thunder assistant Mo Cheeks has emerged as the strong frontrunner to become the Detroit Pistons' head coach, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Discussions on a contract could begin soon, league sources said. Detroit's ownership and management reached a consensus on Cheeks as their choice, league sources said. Cheeks was a finalist for the job along with another ex-Portland Trail Blazers coach, Nate McMillan.

From Adrian Wojnarowski, George Karl with one year remaining on his contract and pushing for extension, has been fired from the Denver Nuggets. With the 2012-2013 Coach of the Year now in play, do the Pistons extend their coaching search?

Jonathan Tjarks builds up a 7 foot case of Koolaid on why the Moose and the Brahma can be the next NBA dynasty, and all the things Joe D can do NOT to mess it up! -------------------- my favorite quote: "Surround a 7’0 who can score with enough shooters and you will have a high-level offense. Conversely, put athletes around a 7’0 who can defend and you will have an elite defense." ______________ List of Guards & Wings with 3 point shooting production AND productive athleticism available to the Pistons in this draft alone: 1s: Nate Wolters 2s: Victor Oladipo, KCP 3s: Otto Porter,Glen Rice, James Ennis 4: Bonus potential Lebron stopper/Stretch 4: Tony Mitchell *MCW with an improved 3 point shot could be a 1 that could space the floor + the athleticism to slow Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook

A co-worker is eating pancakes for 24 hours for charity, and a $50 donation allows you to choose the topic for one of his podcast episodes. I'm already in for $50, and I plan on making them talk about the greatness of the original Bad Boy era Pistons. And I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if the DBB community comes together for another $50 donation or two and makes them talk about other eras in Pistons history (ie, the Teal era, the Goin' to Work era)? We could pool donations in the comments here and coordinate who makes the donation. What do you think?

Sorry.

Great Article and video playbook on how to make the Most of the Moose and the Brahma Bull. Greg Operating in the High Post - simple way to maximize both bigs. Lots of movement, screening and cutting. 3 outside shooters surrounding them. Simple enough, lets see if Joe can get it done.
