<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons have made the strongest runs at free agent Scottie Pippen. Thus far, the Lakers are not heavily involved, though that could change if Payton's interest is cool If Payton declines their offer and they decide Pippen's health and age are too big a risk, the Lakers probably would turn to Tyronn Lue. </div> I'm not sure what to make of this...if Joe knows he can't get howard then i guess this wouldn't be a bad signing..but still i'm not sure he is what we need...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "raptors21":</div><div class="quote_post">Joe goes after everybody. Hes like Pat Quinn only basketball.</div> but joe actually gets the players, pat quinn always fails
who has joe got? by free agency bill ups. Quinn is nt a GM any more tho. I thought he was good like joe.

yah but no one wants to sign big contract players because after next season there coud be a lock out.CBA is up.
Pippen brings in that doesn't show up on the box score..great leadership...great defence..he really got the blazers back in shape..when they were struggling..Joe D not only signed billups...but drafted okur,prince going to sign rip to a big deal....how dare you say pippen is terrible....he is the reason blazers made the playoffs

Pippen is a legend...6 rings....has done it all...he deserves respect....the stuff he brings as i said don't show up on the box scores..that bring said i don't know if we need him...as we need post play..or a scorer
Pippen was looking to go to a team where he could post up. he could benefit the Pistons. i dont think he's looking to go there though. I really want him back in Chicago. we need him
everyone on the pistons roster does stuff that doesent show up on the box score. thats why there such a week team. if ben wallace wasnt there they wouldnt have one more than 30 games. you people have the wrong idea about the pistons, there defense isnt the best in the league. on offense they control the clock, and give less possesions to the other team. therefore lowering the score, and when all of their backcourrt players get beat off the dribble ben wallace is usually there to bail them out. Thats why the pistons defense is so good. btw not really one player on there team is a good defender except ben wallace.
Weak team? get the hell out of here and learn some basketball...MY GOD...we were like 5 games above 500 without ben..granted we are better with him...but weak team? what does that make the rest of the teams in the east?
yeah WEAK TEAM you guys got lucky to make it to the ECF, and if you guys didnt have been wallace you guys would have gave up close to 100 ppg last season. and you know that allnet
