Pistons:
1. I would sign maxiell depending on the cash. Currently making $5mill. I would sign him for $3-4mill. He is a good backup and veteran presence to Monroe and Drummond up front. I would let Bynum walk. He isn’t really a pass first PG. Pg’s are dime a dozen, should be able to pick up a decent back up somewhere
2. With the Magette and Rip Hamilton contracts out the way the Pistons are well and truly under the salary cap. I would look at Bayless or Aaron Brooks as a backup to Knight. Could maybe even try Shaun Livingston. The pistons need a quality 2 or 3 and trade stuckey or have him come off the bench. There isn’t a lot of quality 2’s or 3’s. After being stung with Charlie V and Ben Gordon’s contract I think Joe D is very cautious about who he next signs… There is no rush, we are still young and developing. Martell Webster is still young and could try him.
3. Its too early to tell, but will prob take a 2 or 3. A 3 would be nice to groom under Tayshaun Prince. McAdoo, Polythress
4. I would like to see them go after Wilson Chandler. He is too good to come off the bench. J-Lamb. They could go after either with this years draft pick or Rodney Stuckey. Could maybe get Wes Johnson cheap. Moe Harkless would be nice to groom under Prince but not sure how easy it would be to get him. Houston are pretty stacked with forwards, we could maybe try and get Terrence Jones or Royce White to fill out the forward spots. I heard Royce White is in the doghouse – he was one of my favs from last years draft….Larry Sanders, Ed Davis, John Henson might be had cheaply as they are not full time NBA starters. Put with Monroe and Drummond would make a nice up-front unit….
