This was a good week for the perception of the Pistons. However, I think it opened up as many quesions as it provided answers. The Pistons are in a transition and with their roster the way it is the team will lose an awful lot of basketball games. And it will be squarely on Joe Dumars because of his pursuit of perimeter players has been at the expense of the frontline.

To win in free agency news cycles is sort of like winning a preseason game. If you're General Manager of the Year at the end of the season, that's when you want to shine. Let all the bad teams grab the headlines when they want to sell tickets. Strangely enough, Allen Iverson and Mateen Cleaves have sold more tickets in this town...

It's odd that selling tickets and winning games don't necessarily go hand in hand.

With Bass snapped up by Orlando, it's said Dumars is working on getting Big Baby. It's good that Boston's salary cap, MLE, and bi annual exceptions are pretty over the limit.
