Trade winds strong this week!
Milwaukee - After weeks of occasional wink-winks here and there, along
with a few 'I got you!' nods, it's time for NBA GMs to show and prove
themselves this week.

The trading deadline is Thursday afternoon, and you can bet the
Pistons will be like every other team, working the phones to see if
they can make a deal.

Joe Dumars has said he wants another perimeter-oriented player, and is
willing to give up one of his big guys to make it happen. He's never
said who the big guys on the trading block are, but it's clear that
it's Nazr Mohammed and Dale Davis. And if he can throw Flip Murray
into the deal, that'll be even better.

He is pretty streaky and still not in shape. But when he is on he can score in bunches.
Our Reggie may have a heart attack over his knunkle ball no rotation shot....

He likes to post up guards. nHe calls himself a "power guard" which fits. He can play SF just as
well.

Reuniting Bonzi and 'Sheed may be a big chemistry mistake. =)

IT would be absolutely asinine to give up Nazr or Flip Murray at this
point.

Webber, Sheed nor McDyss can defend the center position. If it weren't
for the allowance of the zone defense they would be a liability of the
worst kind. Davis and Mohammad are both very much needed if we are to
get past the Miami Heat. Shaq's simply ready willing and able.

Flip Murray shouldn't be released because he's acquainted with the
system and is a proven scorer and could be a relief point guard or 2 if
needed such as in an injury . There is no need to move him.

Nor do we need another single person to contribute from the PERIMETER!

The ANSWER, pardon the pun was Allen Iverson, whom we let get away!
That would be the only person any such move would have been worthy
of!!!! Iverson enters the paint and it by no means limited to the jump
shot. He would have been the perfect counter to Tony Parker.
