Long time no post…since it’s been a relatively quiet summer for Joe D. and the boys (Kwame freak’n Brown?) here’s a look at where some of our former Piston’s players have gone this past summer.
- Flip Murray, who last season with the Pacers after being released by the Pistons back in February, has signed on with Atlanta. He’ll be joined in the Atlanta backcourt by fellow former Piston swingman Maurice Evans. Atlanta picked up Evans to fill the void left when Josh Childress took a very lucrative deal to play overseas in Greece.
- While on the subject of players that have sought greener pastures across the Atlantic former Pistons Carlos Delfino and the Serbian Gangsta, Primoz Brezec, both inked deals overseas. While the Childress signing may have caught many off guard these should not. Both Brezec and ‘Los were constantly whining about not getting run here in the States and threatening to go Euro.
- Carlos Arroyo also spurned the Association for Europe. Arroyo is expected to lead Maccabi Tel-Aviv in dribbles per possession.
- Jarvis Hayes signed on with the Nets. There’s a guy you might have expected to go overseas. Loves to hoist, can’t defend.
- Damon Jones (Bucks) and Joe Smith (OKC) were part of a three team trade that brought Buck’s guard Mo Williams to the Cavaliers. You know what that means? It means since DJ is now on the Bucks roster we’re guaranteed to meet them in the Playoffs.
Even though there’s been no major waves like expected, here’s a couple ripples from the Pistons pool. Everyone’s favorite 12th man Walter “Herrmannator” Herrmann is being brought back, after a strong summer league showing Will Bynum earned himself a two-year deal with the club, Detroit also added a second Walter, second round pick Walter Sharpe …
…What’d I miss??
