    don't be surprised if darko doesn't do too much in his 1st season. i think he will be like tmac. struggle in his 1st 3 years,(but improve in each year) then breaks out and has an amazing season. i personally don't think darko will make that much of a difference next year.

    I agree..i don't expect much from darko in his first season but he will help our team no doubt....people alot of the time forget he is only 18...and was 17 last month...he needs time.

    i don't think he will be the difference maker to pull the pistons past the nets in his 1st year. i'm not saying he won't do anything, i know he will, but i just don't think that he will be the difference maker to put them into the finals 1st year.

    As i said if we get howard...we should make the finals..he got 18 and 8 in denver..howard can play any role you ask him to do...darko will get some points and rebounds to help us abit....as long as we are heathly..the nets don't worry me for next year..more so if kidd doesn't return...shame there is such a long wait..but FA signings should be interesting...

    if kidd doesn't return, then the magic and pistons will be seeds 1 and 2 in no particular order.

    ECF meeting? very possible....but way too early to talk about that....only problem with the off-season is the time you have to wait to see some games...

    i hope juwan does sign with the pistons. i don't want him on the lakers, he doesn't play defense and doesn't know how to pass the ball. this guy needs to make up his mind, he's not that good a player to begin with. Orlando? Detroit? Los Angeles? Denver? what's it going to be juwan?

    i'd much rather have payton and malone on the lakers.

    I agree

    If they both are lakers no one will stop us.

    beacuse bot of them are very rarely injured.

    howard averaged 17 and 8 this year..he doesn't mind what option he is..he proved that in dallas he is a pretty damn good player to get with a MLE..malone,payton might not work..they all want the ball...i hope howard signs for us...but i feel he will go to wolves.

    according to allnet: every star in the league will be signing with the pistons due to the tactful genius of joe dumars. Might as well write their names on the trophy now. theyre like the new yor yankees

    err no..this article was from the detroit news...all the articles i post are real...it's up to you weather or not to believe the media....but i only post articles what i see on the net...go look around other boards..what do they talk about? possible player signings..even if they never happen...it's worth talking about it...when it comes to possible playing signings..i never make things up..there would be no point in that
