How long will Pistons fans have to suffer this time, before Joe Dumars admits his mistakes. The Curry Project is, has been and will continue to be an abysmal failure. Anyone with an I.Q. above 50 or that of Tanya Harding, Ron Artest and George W. Bush combined, knows the reason Dumars even hired Puppet Boy was to have control of the team without having to pull an Isiah Thomas a Pat Riley or a Kevin McHale. I get it, it's fun to be the Puppet Master. And although I was against the move, I understood the concept and hoped for the best. Now I'm fed up! Enough is enough!

As I've said in previous posts, worst case scenario would be trading for draft picks. Don't tell me you couldn't find a team willing to take Sheed for other expiring contracts and a fist rounder. Joe D. is loyal to a fault. Even if Dumars thinks he can resign Wallace in the off season, he'll still have his chance. Besides, if this is the plan, why not make it happen before the deadline. Then you can better plan your future.

I understand this Detroit team is “built for the playoffs,” but its obvious to this Pistons fan, no moves by the deadline means no post season. At least not one worth watching. If they make the playoffs they'll most likely get knocked out in the first round by Atlanta or Miami. If they miraculously slip past to the second round, they'll be facing the likes of ether Boston, Cleveland or Orlando. If by the grace of God they get enough lucky breaks to squeeze by Orlando, there is no way in Hyades they make it to the finals. I mean, is that not what Dumars preached to us all last summer?
