Sign multiple FAs in 2010. Don't waste cap space on Ben Gordon.

I think Detroit is making the mistake the Knicks made when they traded Patrick. They lost their leader and their overall identity. The championship run is over. It's time to rebuild around the young guys instead of trying to build on the fly.
I just hope that people will like me

Agreed. They already held onto their guys too long and made a poor decision with the Billups/AI trade.

Depends on how much of a rebuild they want to do. They "dumped" billups which they can use AI's expiring. Billups was a great pickup for the Nuggs who needed that kind of leadership. But not all teams do. RashWeed is cooked and perhaps moving on. I doubt they could have gotten a trade using billups for a quality big man in his prime. Im not saying Boozer is one, but they might see it that way. At least they got a big expiring and not a resigned Glen Rice and Luke longley in return for Patrick. Had we just "dumped" patrick that would not have hampered us for so long. |

what does starting over mean? they haven't been bad enough to get high picks. they have cap room - so what should they do? don't sign anyone this offseason and just draft players?

Posted by djsunyc: Start over, means start building a new core. Rebuilding does not mean draft picks. You have been posting with me long enough to know this is my review. Rebuilding means getting rid of the current core and finding new players to win with. Instead they are going to hang on to aging players and hope a free agent can put them over the top. It will make them competitive but I dont' see anyone that is going to put them in the class with the young guns coming up. I just hope that people will like me
