He isn't going there...that team is not going anywhere any time soon..while pistons are a very good team with a great future...getting the 2nd pick..So it seems a no-brainer to me seems rick was fired because he doesn't play the young guys much yes...so when darko arrives joe thinks he will play cliff ahead of him...
Since were firing good coaches that dont reach it to the NBA Finals in their 2nd year, bye bye Nelson, and Rick Adlemen I find this firing sick
LOL cliff is no good..darko could and likely will start next year..he is a very good player for his age..if he played in europe at 16..he can play at 17/18 in the NBA
he averaged 14 and 7 in europe and the best player he has faced in pat burke lol unless he improves which he will....... but i dont see him starting I think okar should start over cliff not darko.
get over the pat burke thing...he has played against alot better players than him..he has been playing in europe..he will improve..he is only 17 and his 14 and 7 numbers were good considering he didn't play much..because of his age
I like Darko but I don't see him starting next year, it is very rare that a rookie starts for a contending team, especially a rookie who is 17 years old. I see him getting about 20 minutes a game, as a back up, you have to bring him in slowly, if you just throw him into the fire there is a good chance that it could hurt his confidence.
back on topic.. i thought the pistons were nuts for firing carlisle too, but now they're gonna get larry.. which is even better
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post"> Trust me..joe dumars wouldn't of this done this unless he knew who we had line-up that would do better..joe has never been wrong before.</div> haha...thats showing a lot of blind faith. you talk about dumars like hes red auerbach or sumthing. hes a good gm but i wouldnt call him a genius. he certainly didnt look very smart when the pistons were flirting with last place all those years
He turned it around pretty damn quickly...i knew he had someone lined-up as i said and he does larry brown
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post">When was that? two / three years ago? recently? HELL NO..</div> it was in a interveiw 5 monthes ago i think
NOPE just because thats who he faced..there are loads of players better than burke..he is playing in europe...he was likely 16 when he faced him..5 months ago? C'MON...he has played in alot more games and faced alot more players since then.. geesh...
