    Exactly.

    Makes sense for both parties.

    McGrady wants to play and prove he still can play.

    Prince should be traded to a contender. Hamilton should be traded somewhere as well A lineup of Stuckey, Gordon, Mcgrady, Villaneuva, and Monroe has actually worked pretty well this season.

    I would like to see Austin Daye play a lot more. Ben Gordon as the 6th man perhaps. They just need to condense that damn team.

    Wrong on both (especially on McGrady..are u serious?). Rodney Stuckey has been their best and most consistent player. McGrady finally has one decent game and people are overreacting.

    I think he is getting back to his form. You can see his confidence increasing every game.

    Joe Dumars really screwed up after he traded Billups for Iverson to free up cap space.

    He spent that money on two guys that come off the bench in Gordan and Charlie V. I think Pistons fans expected way more than that.

    he screwed up when he resigned hamilton to an extension. he shouldve traded him.

    gordon is a nice starting SG so no need to keep hamilton. charlie v's a decent pick up too although not at his current salary. a big with point range will open things up for a low post presence, which they got in monroe.

    imho, they need to trade rip, tayshaun, stuckey and bynum.

    Showing a flash of his former jumpshot, but I don't have faith in him every being a jump shooting threat in the longterm.

    I love the fact that only 9 guys played in the game. He got consistent minutes and he got it done. I have a feeling this formula is going to work.

    As for those 3s, it is a great sign. We've already seen him doing some great athletic plays like dunks, blocks etc. Now, it looks like his long range jumper is improving. That means he is really getting his legs back under him.

    He's been loking better and better after some really decent/poor games. Looks like Kuester has figured out a rotation that may work out well. Look for him to average 20+ minutes in the umcoming games.

    We shouldn't expect him to make 4 3s every night but he is getting his complete game back. He should be much better going forward. But we will see. You never know with T-Mac.

    Noone will touch Bynum. Stucky is a free agent at seasons end so who knows and so is Prince. I think Prince will get traded once the Pistons new owner takes over. I think Kuester is seeing tracy can handle 25 minutes jnight and will be productive which should make the decision to trade Prince alot easier.

    Nice to see him make 4 threes but everybody can get hot.
    The nice thing though is that is first step has looked relatively good the last few games.

    I still think he's lost full confidence going to the rim more often.

    TMac has been improving overall this season. If he can accept this role as a bench scorer he has a place in this league for a few years still.

    On a side note, did anyone else see the highlights where Charlie V shoots a three when Detroit was up by 20 and running out the clock. Is it just me or is that disrespectful to any team your beating.

    I rarely see a NBA player shoot a shot when they are up by double digits and less than 10 seconds on the clock...I always liked Charlie V but this made him look like a douche.
