RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans —

Rodney Stuckey told Sports Radio 1100 WFDN AM in Detroit this morning that Piston players had no idea Michael Curry would be let go.
““No, not at all, not at all; nobody knew this was going to happen. (Dumars) just thought we needed another experienced coach that’s gonna guide us to where we need to be.”
Joe Dumars met with former Dallas Maverick’s coach Avery Johnson on Sunday. NBA.COM reports that Sunday’s meeting proved very productive, but an agreement hasn’t been reached.

Avery Johnson a no-go
pistonpost.com 7/7/2009 — Pretty disappointing, to say the least. I felt Johnson was the best candidate for the job, especially because of his ability to whip players into shape and maintain a team’s conduct. I still don’t think Cuban should have let him go from the Mavs.
