Chris McCosky, The Detroit News: “The Pistons would love to sign Carlos Boozer should he decide today to opt out of the final year of his contract with the Jazz and become a free agent. Why wouldn’t they? He’s 26 and one of the elite power forwards in the game, capable of averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds. However, if Boozer opts out, he would leave $12.6 million on the table in Utah. Thus, there is a good chance Boozer, as has been widely speculated, would look to start his next contract at $14 million or $15 million. If that is the case, the Pistons most likely would walk away. The Pistons expect to have between $17 million and $19 million of available cap space (the exact number will be determined within the next week when the NBA releases new salary-cap figures). With that, president Joe Dumars has said they hope to get at least two top-tier players — one is expected to be a scoring guard, the other a starting power forward.”
lame! michael curry was not to blame this year, which if anything was just figuring out the future of the team more than anything else. and he had iverson, who has to qualify as one of the major reasons why everything felt so out of sync. at the end of the day, this just looks like passing off the blame. i never like when they fire stones coaches. never seems justified to me.
