No with everything the Pistons have accompished under him,  he's allowed a mistake here or there.

To tell you the truth, I'm fed up with Kwame. I mean c'mon man! Last year, he declared he'd have a breakout season, and averaged 7 points. Hello! Is that a breakthout season?\n\nThis year, he says he's also eyeing a breakout year. Well that I've got to see to believe.\n\nTo Kwame Brown, just cut the bullshit and be man enough to admit that you're the worst number 1 draft pick in the history of the NBA.\n\nAs for me, I'm the BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER ever to grace this earth. Yea you heard me right! I'm the BEST. I'm even better than Jordan. And to prove it to all of you, I'm gonna win this year's scoring title. And then I'm gonna win some more in the years after. No one is gonna stop me, not iverson, not my lousy teammates, and definitely not jackson's stupid triangle. It's ballhoggin' time!

I love PJ. Who doesn't like this guy? Here's the deal. PJ is great but he is not a true center. He has played out of position for almost 2 years now and the hornets need a younger starting Center. It's a very tough decision to make. The team will lose a lot if they trade him because he is the heart and soul of this team and he does play hard every game and is the role model that the younger players need to have. He also knows the system and can help the new players learn it faster. If the Hornets can get a center for brown and jr smith I saw do it. I'm not too hot on Tyson Chandler from the bulls but that's who I think they are after. I want someone like Diop or Dampier from the Mavericks. Brown can't be the hornets starting center anymore. It's just not practical. He needs to be a backup yet the rookies aren't ready to start so a trade makes sense. Also, remember Brown's in the last year of his contract which pays him 8mil, the hornets need to free up some cap space for the new free agents: Peja, Bobby Jackson, etc. If I were the GM I would sign speedy to a 5 million one year contract and trade him and PJ Brown to the Pistons for Ben Wallace. A sign and trade would be smart in this situation. The pistons might do that. They like speedy. Who knows.\n\nAll I know is,\nI don't want to see them part ways but I just think it's time. Brown deserves to go to a championship team. I want to see him win a title before he retires. The man deserves it.

Even though he has had a few bad outings, I think throwing a rookie in there would be even worse. Let Chad finish the season (assuming he doesn't get hurt), then let the exhibition season next year be open competition. I think Chad is a serviceable enough quarterback to lead this team until we are ready to contend. \n\nBesides, before the season started, did you think the Jets would be .500 after 10 games? Chad and Mangini and indeed the entire Jets staff are doing a fine job this year.

Da Franchise used to be my favorite balla. He erupted into the limelight when he went to Maryland after San Jacinto College. Continued his superstar ascendance with the Rockets and then got traded to my team the Magic. But thats when it all went into a freefall, right now he looks like he lost all his passion and he isnt playing like he used to. I wanted him to get back on top but he isnt going to be on top again with his growing ego and attitude. Its a shame and a waste of talent. Francis is a wash now.\n\nedit: Hey Michellee, dont worry about the magic. They are not suffering. Trading away francis was the best thing to ever happen to them. They made the best trades of any team this past midseason when they dumped francis' bloated contract for trevor ariza, and topped that off by trading kelvin cato's 8 mil per season for darko milicic and carlos arroyo, which is already arguably the worst trade in nba history for the pistons. Grant Hills 15 mil is also about to come off the books after this season so that magic will have the most cap room of any team in the summer of 07 (20-30 mil). Theyve already resigned jameer nelson who has been a better starter at PG than francis, and they resigned Dwight Howard, Tony Battie, and working on extending Darko. They also have the eleventh pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Heres the crazy reality of it all. \n\nyou have a young talented team with in my opinion the best PG depth in Nelson, Arroyo and Dooling.\n\nShooting guard is the weakest position with deshawn stevenson, but he still isnt that bad. He has good defense and at times he provides offense. The magic will probably use their top pick for a SG and im praying for Brandon Roy, who is an assasin, deadly shooter in the mole of Gilbert Arenas.\n\nHedu Turkaglu is still an underrated player. When he starts he is a machine, plain and simple. He was their leading scorer for the last several months of the season. Trevor Ariza is capable of becoming a good bench player because he is very energetic. He has a knack for rebounding and he could develop into a Tayshaun Prince type of player. Hence, you have to like how they look at small forward for next season. However, you have to take into consideration all that money the magic have to spend after next year, when the likes of carmelo anthony and vince carter are free agents. There is one other player that could be a free agent if cleveland does not give him an extension, and yes that player is lebron james. I've heard rumors that the Magic are set themselves up to sign him so if he is not on the cavaliers in 2008, he will be a magic.\n\nDwight Howard at PF. Enough Said.\n\nDarko Milicic at C, forming the 7 foot 20 yr old twin towers is deadly. They compliment each other formidably. \n\nThis team has the best future and chance to be the greatest team ever, if king james does become a magic, can you say dynasty? yes.

The Pistons traded Milicic and Arroyo to open up salary cap space for Ben Wallace (free agent at the end of the season) and Chauncey Billups (free agent at the end of the next years season). I like Milicic, I think he has a good upside to him. Arroyo, he is a player that Joe Dumars did not want in Detroit in the first place. The reason Arroyo came to Detroit was because Larry Brown wanted him here. With Lindsey Hunter coming back, there isnt much need for Arroyo. Hunter is a better defender and he does not turn the ball over as often. I live in Detroit, and when Arroyo got here, Dumars expressed how Brown was the one who wanted him, not Dumars. I wouldnt question Joe Dumars on his executive decisions because he has done a fantastic jobs thus far. Cato is just another big man to replace Milicic. The Pistons mainly just lose youth with bringing Cato in replace of Milicic. I hope Milicic does well in Orlando, and I think he will. The first round draft pick in '07 for the Pistons will give them 2 first rounds picks, so they may be able to trade away one pick for another player. It will probably work out.

I like the Texans pick of Mario Williams. When you only sack the opposing Qb 29 times in 16 games there is something to be said about that. They need a pass rusher for sure. Reggie Bush have never face a defense like any of the ones he will see in the NFC South. Carolina, Tampa, and ATL....come on!!! Then he will have the pressure of being the best athlete in to enter the draft in what was it ten years. Yo Saints....Joe Horn is 34....why not trade the pick to Greenbay for Walker and the #5 pick.

Yea. They should try getting one of the many free agents, maybe Alfonso Soriano? He has speed, defense, and power!

Though this placing may look bad for J.J's talent it will pay off in the long run. J.J.'s an ok driver but an amazing shooter with being this far back in the draft he'll be able to sign with a more developed team that may be running a more productive offense such as Detroit or the Heat. In this kinda of offensive set they we'll be able to develope plays for J.J perticually allowing him to get shots with out that much coverage and with out having to put the ball on the floor. he is definently going to need a supporting cast though that way it will take some off the defensive pressure off of him. But yeah I'm definentely a Duke fan and have been since I was like six. Go Duke!!!! How bought McRoberts though that boys a player!!!!!

I thought he was pretty messed up in the head anyways. Now I know he is, because of tonight. U HAD THE CHANCE TO GET MARCUS WILLIAMS (YES WE KNOW ABOUT THE 60 MILLION DOLLAR BACKCOURT WITH S***BURY AND FRANNYCHISE), AND INSTEAD U GET SOME UNDERSIZED POWER FORWARD FROM S.CAROLINA WHO U COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN THE 2ND ROUND!?! NOW, IM NOT A KNICKS FAN, BUT I FEEL SORRY FOR WHOEVER IS, BECAUSE U GUYS ARE IN A BLACK HOLE AS LONG AS ZEKE IS THERE, AND TONIGHT HE JUST SUNK U GUYS DEEPER IN THERE.

Yes he should and Damon Jones should have been traded out of the league.  He stinks.

The Saints, b.c Ill get to see him TWO TIMES A YEar. My falcons better be prepared. I feel bad that he will go to such a sorry team defensively, i doubt theyl make playoffs, but he should be Offensive Rookie of the Year. Id like to say Mmartin down there must be high on some good dtuff, the Cardinals have Edgerinn James, a guaranteed 1000 yrd rusher every year, of course they have a running game.

Personally, I think J.J. had a fantastic season in College Hoops this year, but we saw what could happen to him when someone plays the right kind of defense and the team relied on his scoring so much that it put him in the same situation that LeBron was in during the semi-finals. So with that, I look at J.J. to go at least number 9 or 10. Dee Brown is a very speedy guard, and we know how well they're utilized in the league, but there are questions about his inconsistency shooting from the outside. So Dee may go at about number 16. James Augustine is a good all-around player, but I feel another season in College Hoops would have brought his stock up dramatically in the next draft. He's coming in too early. May be picked up late 1st rd. or even early 2nd.

The Jazz won’t be able to draft Karl Malone or John Stockton, but a player who is similar to either wouldn’t be a bad idea. Utah could use a guard who could play alongside Deron Williams, and get the ball to Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko.Now mr jones i am telling you right now nobody else will say this but maurice ager because he is a great ballhandeler and he can bring exicitment to the team and me having the dirc TV basketball package i would watch all other teams play exept utah they would start a game off miss the first 7 shots and then get two strait 24 seconds violations and ager can dunk like a vince carter but he doesent have a jumper like vince carter so iff he can devolop a J he can be a steal in this draft

I gotta agree, Joe Crede is having a heck of a year. I also think Travis Hafner should be starting(sorry, I'm a Cleveland fan).and I think Grady Sizemore should make it. Jermaine Dye is having a solid year, and deserves consideration. And what is up with Jason Varitek leading at catcher. I think everyone who voted for him should have their ballot thrown out, and their heads sewn to the carpet. Lets not forget about Tom Glavine. He should be collecting social security by now, instead he is leading the Majors in wins. I just Hope Guillen makes fair selections, and doesnt get 3/4 of his starting lineup in the game, the way Joe Torre has done in the past. Good luck Sox fans, its too late(again) for my dear (pathetic) Tribe to be thinking postseason.

I think he needs to look in the mirror and take the T.O. face paint off.  I wasn't sure about this trade to begin with to be honest, but Artest shouldn't be.  He should want to play.

they should get hilton armstrong he can move to center and put brad miller at his natural position. abudr-rahim is getting old nad kenny thomas is not very good
