Joe Dumars

  At one time he was considered the best GM in the game, my how things have changed since then. Also didn't realize how many great players he passed on drafting.

  I agree the Darko pick was retarded...but that list is just as retarded. They have 3 guys from 1 draft. He couldnt have had them all...

  There is a mutiny going on in Detroit right now. Like it or not, they may have to fire this coach.

  He might not get a chance to. I'd be firing Dumars. Or at the very least, I'd do the politically correct thing and "promote" him to a job where his duties no longer include personnel decisions.
  
  He has drove to the team into the ground. The minute his "big free agent splash" ended with Ben Gordon and Charlie V, I would have fired him.

  They need to find a new damn owner and get stuff straightened out. Dumars might as well as keep Kuester and let the season snowball into a bigger clusterfuck or do one of the assistants a favor and give them the job to finish the season(audtion for bigger role elsewhere next year). The new owner will undoubtedly get rid of all the coaches from this year.

  I'm sorry but it all begins and probably ends with the AI deal. What a total disaster for Detroit and it's fans. From there, it has been a long and depressing journey into night. I really liked Joe as a GM, but it hasn't been good in a very long time. Bring back Laimbeer!

  +1. Terrible trade. I don't know why anybody would think that dealing for AI is a "good" thing. Especially since it led to them clearing cap for the Charlie V-Ben Gordon spending bonanza

  Sad because as a Pistons fan I know that the team of Rip, Chauncey, Big Ben, Sheed, and Prince had a chance to win more titles.
