<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"There are only so many of the young guys you can play," Dumars said, "unless you blow up your team and play a bunch of young guys. I know some teams that do that, but we're certainly not going to do that." He points to the impact that third-year guard/forward Carlos Delfino has made in this, his first season as a regular in the playing rotation. And second-year forward Jason Maxiell has shown signs that he might join the regular rotation soon. Dumars also envisions second-year forward Amir Johnson being given an opportunity to play in the near future. The NBA trading deadline is months away, but that has never gotten in the way of juicy rumors. Dumars said it's too early in the season to think about tinkering with his team, but he won't rule out making a change closer to the trade deadline, if he believes it'll help the Pistons. League rules prohibit Dumars from talking about specific players Detroit might be interested in trading for, but one name that's likely to continue popping up is Minnesota guard Mike James, an ex-Piston. James has remained close to several Pistons, including Hunter and Rasheed Wallace, since they won the NBA title together in 2004.</div> Source
