very true he would be a great defensive coach for them… hopefully they dont notice him and we get to keep Tom for another year

I'm not worried about Thibs, I'm sure he will be back with Boston.

The Pistons should have fired Curry during the season though.

Curry was not so good

I doubt Thibodeau would want that

That’s a complete rebuild job. Could Laimbeer get a shot there?

He's available

I can totally see that happening.

Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk

I hope Dumars gets what he deserves.

I lost a lot of respect for Dumars. You have a rookie coach. You trade away the best player on your team and an absolute winner for one of the most disruptive, selfish and greatest team wreckers in NBA history.

How can you blame the rookie coach? Only one coach has been able to deal with the perennial loser Iverson…and he was only able to do it for a season.

Dumars wanted it both ways. He wanted to line his stands with “fans” who know nothing about the game of basketball….Who else would watch Iverson’s crusade in selfishness? Dumars obviously was throwing away last season but didn’t want attendance to suffer. The best thing for Curry would have been to sit Iverson right after the post-trade press conference….Or at best, those three games that Iverson morphs into a team player after trades.

I agree with Kuberski. Laimbeer will get the job.

thibs

I am scared. Yup. There are now two openings counting the Wolves and it is just like Dumars to bust our crackers by hiring Thibadeau. It just seems that things just go like that. I got bad vibes. Very bad.
