※ 引述《Afflalo (Arron Afflalo)》之銘言：
Can Joe Dumars turn Pistons around again?

by A. Sherrod Blakely

Tuesday April 28, 2009, 1:15 AM

AUBURN HILLS -- Eight years ago, Joe Dumars revamped a sub-.500 Detroit
Pistons team in just a few years into a squad that made trips to the Eastern
Conference finals or NBA finals an annual tradition.

Talent, luck and timing played a role in how the Pistons went from an NBA
chump to an NBA contender so quickly.

For a similar turnaround after this season's 39-43 finish and first-round
playoff exit, the Pistons and Dumars, the team's president of basketball
operations, will need to hit a similar trifecta.

"I think Joe D is going to do a great job of getting this team back to
playing competitive basketball," the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James said.
"They have some very good players right now. And one thing about Detroit, you
never count those guys out."

以上是對Joe Dumars的稱讚與Lebron James的客套話


Who's returning

When you have the kind of season Detroit had, no one should feel too
comfortable. It is unlikely, though, Detroit will look to make any deals
involving guards Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum. Despite his ups and downs
this past season, the Pistons remain high on Stuckey, whose numbers were
better in almost every major statistical category than his fellow second-year
guards.

As for Bynum, nobody helped his status with the team more than him. He went
from what was expected to be a seldom-used role as a third point guard to
arguably the team's best bench scorer, including setting a franchise record
for the most points scored (26) in the fourth quarter.

阿基和小拜能應該都會留下。阿基是有高層的無比信心，拜能是天助自助。


Richard Hamilton signed a three-year extension before the season started, so
it is unlikely Detroit will look to unload him.

The same is true for Jason Maxiell, who also signed an extension.

Rip和Maxy因為剛簽下延長合約的關係，所以應該不用急著搬家。


Tayshaun Prince, however, is another story. If the Pistons are looking to
make a blockbuster trade akin to the Billups deal last November, chances are
it will have to involve Prince and at least another player.

當初走的若不是槍西，那應該是小王子。現在若要彌補槍西離開的損失，遭殃的應該
還是隊上的某個倒楣鬼和小王子。


Arron Afflalo expected coming into the season to get steady minutes as
Hamilton's backup, but the Allen Iverson trade changed that.

Pistons coach Michael Curry often has said that with steady minutes, Afflalo
can be a good contributor. Maybe next season Afflalo will get that
opportunity.

AI到來之前，身為Rip替補的阿福本來相當有機會爆發的。MC說他會給阿福時間，不過
又只是個嘴砲罷了。期待明年能不能被施捨到一點上場時間吧。


Who's out of here
The only player for sure who will not return is Allen Iverson. The more he
played with the Pistons, the clearer it became he was not a good fit. Throw
in the fact he has lost a step or two, it is best both sides go their
separate ways.

AI應該是本季唯一一個早就已經確定不會留下來的球員。AI上場時間越久，也只能越
證明他跟活塞不合。早散早好。


Rasheed Wallace will be a free agent, but he is unlikely to return,
especially if the Pistons convince fellow free agent Antonio McDyess to come
back. Like Iverson, Wallace's game also has taken a step back. Detroit will
have to decide whether he can physically give the team enough to make all the
technical fouls he picks up worth it.

若Dice成功被留下，Sheed應該掰定了。Sheed和AI一樣都在退步當中，若他無法在肉
體上彌補技術犯規的失誤，那就沒什麼好留下來的。


Walter Herrmann might get some feelers from NBA teams, but he likely will
return to play in Europe next season.

雖然有可能找到買家，不過回歐洲的機會比較大。


Rookie Walter Sharpe needs a strong summer league to convince the Pistons he
is mature enough -- as a player and a person -- to stick around. Otherwise,
Detroit would be best suited to cut him loose.

若沒有辦法在夏季聯盟當中證明自己身心狀態都已經是個壞孩子，那就掰啦。


Up in the air

Kwame Brown can opt out of his current deal, which pays $4 million for the
2009-2010 season. The only way Brown would do such a thing is if he got
enough feelers from teams that a deal with more years was in the waiting if
he were a free agent. A two-year, $6 million deal just might be enough to
make it happen.

若有哪個GM在剛睡醒的時候就趕著上班，今年應該會Opt Out。預估兩年六百萬。m


Amir Johnson will be in the last year of a three-year, $11 million deal he
signed in 2007. His age (22), athleticism and contract make him an attractive
target for many teams, although it appears Detroit will keep him or include
him as part of a bigger deal.

三年約的最後一年，22歲的年紀，運動力，與適合的合約長度大小，也許會在某個多換
一的交易當中作為主菜之一。


Pistons beat writer A. Sherrod Blakely hands out his marks for the season:

Coach

教練

‧ Michael Curry: Too soon to tell if he's a bad coach or just had a ton of
bad luck this season. C-

現在還無法斷定他究竟是單純的無能還是單純的運氣不好。

Guards

後衛

‧ Richard Hamilton: Never seemed like himself after the Chauncey Billups
trade. C-

少了槍西，這個Rip不再是以前的Rip。

‧ Rodney Stuckey: Talented player who still has a lot to learn about being
an NBA point guard. C

想在NBA控球，還有很長的路要走。

‧ Will Bynum: Great season, best player on the team at finishing around the
basket. B

本季活塞籃框附近進攻手段最多樣化的球員。

‧ Arron Afflalo: Seemed to have lost some focus, confidence after trade for
Allen Iverson. B-

原本被看好的球季卻在交易之後迷失了定位。

‧ Allen Iverson: The only reason it's not an F is because of the salary-cap
benefits. D

除了到期合約以外對球隊沒有任何助益。

Forwards

前鋒

‧ Tayshaun Prince: Even before the back injury, he wasn't playing
particularly well. C-

就算在受傷之前表現依然不怎麼樣。

‧ Antonio McDyess: The toughest guy on the team; re-signing him should be a
top priority. B+

底特律最硬頸的竟然是個膝蓋殘廢的老人，續簽他為季後首要任務。

‧ Amir Johnson: Never took full advantage of his time in the starting
lineup. C-

先發時沒把握住機會。

‧ Jason Maxiell: Undersized as a player, underwhelming most of the season. C-

身材劣勢，場上表現也經常被對手佔得優勢。

‧ Walter Herrmann: Streaky shooter, never got into a steady rhythm. C-

不穩定的射手。

‧ Walter Sharpe: Even by second-round pick standards, he didn't do much. D

就算以二輪新秀的標準來看，也是不及格的。

Centers

‧ Rasheed Wallace: See Iverson comments. D

評價同AI，若沒有合約到期的優勢，本季表現也是死當。

‧ Kwame Brown: His hands are bad, but he's big, strong and can defend. B-

手感依然糟糕，。但防守和身材依然是個優勢。
