Pistons subtle offseason earns high marks
Published 9/22/2007 by Justin Rogers at Detroit Pistons Full-Court Press - MLive.com
Although first glance suggests the Pistons had a relatively quiet offseason, ESPN's Marc Stein rates Detroit as having made the second best series of moves in the Eastern Conference. September 21, ESPN.com: The view here is that Joe Dumars quietly has changed the dynamic of his team more than people think. It's not the overhaul lots of us were calling for after Detroit flamed out with four straight losses to Cleveland, but Johnson, Stein Line favorite Jason Maxiell and rookie guard Rodney Stuckey form a promising trio of kiddies to mix with the Pistons' veteran mainstays. Then there's the bonus news that Rasheed Wallace, with his stock dipping perilously close to Portland levels, has dropped 25 pounds after a variety of ankle problems. Doubts remain about 'Sheed and Flip Saunders co-existing for another season, but 'Sheed's serious approach only adds to the sentiment that Detroit might b ...

Is Jason Richardson Worth It?
Published 9/24/2007 at Queen City Hoops
... 09/23/2007 After a summer filled with, admittedly muted, praise, it seems moving into fall is bringing a new perspective on the Bobcats' moves this off-season. Marc Stein has done a review of the off-seasons of the Eastern Conference teams, and he is not thrilled with the choices the Bobcats have made. Click here to read the full review , but here is his main critique of the summer: Taking on the big Jason Richardson contract could indeed address Charlotte's longstanding need for a dependable go-to scorer, but I will continue to quibble over his go-to status if he continues to shoot below 70 percent from the line. It's happened for four straight seasons, which continually cuts into Richardson's aggressiveness and effectiveness because his free throw and ballhandling issues make him a reluctant driver.
