Detroit is done. One could say Flip Saunders is directly responsible for this all happening since he didn't appease Ben Wallace.

Pryzbilla and Nazr? Thats a pretty good defensive combo. Definite downgrade from ben but Rasheed and Tayshaun had just as much to do with that frontline as Ben. He is good but that frontline played so well together, they even made the guards look like good defenders. Ben will miss Detroit too.

He's a lot better than Jerome James. It's about the going rate for an average starting center. If they had paid that with the intention of him being a backup, it'd be a little much.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I think Nazr will be fine with the Pistons. He can rebound and play solid if he gets real minutes. Rasheed, Nazr, and McDyess is not a bad combination.
