(AP) -- The Detroit Pistons have no plans to fire coach Flip Saunders despite disappointing endings the past two seasons. "Just because we haven't gotten to the finals, it doesn't mean Flip has done a bad job," Joe Dumars, president of basketball operations, said Monday. He added that the team doesn't plan drastic changes this offseason. "We don't have a fire sale going on," Dumars said. With four of the same starters, the Pistons have lost in the Eastern Conference finals as the top-seeded team the past two years after winning a title in 2004 and falling just short of repeating the following year. Dumars said his No. 1 priority is re-signing point guard Chauncey Billups when he becomes a free agent next month. He also plans to bring back most of his key players. Rasheed Wallace has been the subject of trade rumors in the week since the Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated Detroit, but Dumars does not seem willing to move the power forward. "You're talking about the guy that was our best and most consistent player in the playoffs," Dumars said. "He's probably also the guy that is the most volatile and crosses the line at times, but I have to balance that."</div> Source: Yahoo! Sports
I don't mind keeping Sheed, I don't mind keeping Flip. But I still expect changes. We are not going to get it done with this team, we've got to make adjustments. I wouldn't mind seeing an upgrade in the backcourt bench.
