Pete is a nice guy but he just makes some knucklehead decisions. SOme would say that we wouldn't have Shareef now if it wasn't for LO but I still think we could have found a way to get Reef without giving up 2 picks.

For our sake Dolfan I hope you are right about Battier. I would love to have him with the Hawks next year. It would be as if we were getting our 3rd overall pick back from Memphis,However wouldn't West want to have Battier and Dunleavy on the same team(if he decides to draft Dunleavy).

I know the workouts are voluntary but Jacque was a key component in our offense last year so you would think if he really thought he would be back next year he would be working out with the team. I guess he feels he will be moving on elsewhere. Someone was pointing out how heavt Hendu appears. He has to be around 245lbs. Maybe this explains why he stays injured.he doesn't stay in decent shape during the offseason.

I had Emailed Babs earlier today before any one had posted the outcome on the deal here is what he said. Detroit decided to keep the pick for this year, although Joe Dumars' told me today that they would be willing to move the pick in a trade if we wanted it.....we would only make a deal for a later first if a certain player were available. We will have multiple firsts in the next several years if we do not trade them in a package this year. Thanks for your interest. Pete Babcock

regarding the draft pick they owe us? More than likely they will keep it since this is what Joe Dumars has been saying for the past month or so. I guess they plan to use it to get a PG in the draft. If they had of kept Mateen Cleaves they wouldn't be looking for a PG. Cleaves could have been Chucky Atkins Backup instead of Damone Brown.

I agree HDS I would like to see what Sconnie can do also. He was a steal at the postion we picked him in the 2ndround.We gave Hanno a chance so why not give Scoonie one?

I was watching ESPN lastnight and one of the analyst covering the fight stated that their were terms in the contract that stated if any of the 2 boxers did anything totally absured he would then forfeit 3million dollars over to the other fighter. I guess MIke isn't as crazy as everyone thinks he is.LoL
