This is what I think we're building too: A team with assets that need to improve just to get us into a playoff spot. Supported by fans who wear raptor-rose coloured glasses and overvalue the talent that we have.
And yeah, I read an article about a Bobcats-Pistons game, so I accept that I deserve no respect : )
Detroit didn't overpay badly in these deals, but what was the team hoping to accomplish? To lock up the core of a team that when healthy can compete for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs?
Detroit fans are real. They saw their team win a championship eight years ago and play in Game 7 of the NBA Finals a year after that. They see this Pistons team, with its decent young core and guys like Prince and Bynum and Maxiell, who all seem like they could succeed in more limited roles, and they wonder: What if we could land a bona fide star? Unfortunately, this line of wishful thinking tumbles swiftly into delusion
