    i posted earlier that I didn't like the rasheed trade with rasheeds behavior history on and off the court, the pistons got what they deserved. I live in detroit and am now looking for a new team i can support cause i can not support them anymore with this kind of stuff they are doing to the great organization that isiah, bill, and joe built.

    Just admit it, you aren't really a Pistons fan

    You havn't added anything to the discussion on our forum so why should we care wether you will support them anymore?

    You want a new team uh?

    Go to the Lakers forum

    You would be suited there.

    Oh you should support the Bulls, so you have bragging rights when they finally get good and make it somewhere... you can officially say that you were a fan, when the Bulls sucked.

    The Pistons got what they deserved, but that's only because they didn't realize they weren't supposed to play the new guys yet. Did you think that they were fined for the secret "Don't trade for a player who's made a few mistakes in his life" clause?

    Just give it a rest, the team hasn't done anything wrong and you know it.

    Also, if you want a new team to support, try the Detroit Tigers. I think they would suit you.

    the fine seems a little excessive to me.

    it's not as though the Pistons were trying to sneak Rasheed into the game. it was on ESPN, and it was probably the most watched Piston's game nationally.

    they also had a press conference an hour before the game talking about Rasheed and James playing.

    i was expecting a $50K fine or something like that. nearly a quarter of a million dollar fine seemed excessive. just my opinion.

    How can you say you are a fan and say you are looking for a new team to root for? In Canada we call you a BANDWAGON boy

    ACTUALLY, no. And I don't like being called that for a comment I made. [​IMG] If someone does wrong they should be punished, simple as that.

    The fine was an innocent mistake on the piston's part. They had already submitted the final paperwork to the league while the Celtics turned it in later because they could not use their players untill a later date. The pistons played Wallace/james because they assumed that Boston had turned in their paperwork. The fine was justified but posting that you are happy they got fined on the pistons forum is just asking for a fight and an unfortunate choice on your part.

    Well, you clearly pointed out that you were a Piston fan. So that gave me thoughts that you're a bandwagoner. [​IMG]
