pistons are already a excellent team...we don't need to wait for a few years..we were the 1st seed this season..we are basically a lock for the east if we sign howard....plain and simple..i don't see magic being a top 3/4 team for a few more years yet...
we will be. i just don't see many teams in the east that have more talent than us (i'm biased though). i mean from playoffs last year. milwaukee, boston, detroit, philadelphia, indiana(losing jermaine). i think the other team that will be better than us is new orleans, if they are all healthy they will be dangerous, now that they have the almight tim floyd as their coach( :roll: ) but seriously they will be dangerous.
Check the pistons forum..howard is interested and so is joe D....howard was a 17 and 8 player this year...we will be no lower than 2nd seed..

As you have stated..but he hasn't signed yet....so the magic team right now isn't very talented at all
back at u with howard. i dont' think the pistons are that talented, they just had a great coach that knew how to use the players. i personally think that carlisyle would do a better job than brown will. i mean they have no offense as long as they don't start curry than they are better.
If we weren't talented we wouldn't have been back to back division champs..and made the ECF..you don't do that unless you have good talent..isn't just hard work.We will do better next year...we will be a top team even if we make no changes
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "truemaster14":</div><div class="quote_post">howard is going to the lakers</div> Highly doubtful...

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "truemaster14":</div><div class="quote_post">huh?if you were howard what team would you rather go to lakers or pistons?</div> Who has a better future pistons or lakers? huh? we do..howard likely won't want to play a back sit to kobe and shaq...thats why coming to detroit would be a better option...in detroit he will make the finals...

u're right. when your team is below the magic at the end of next season, then we'll talk. btw u guys were LUCKY to beat the magic in the playoffs. u guys fought hard and u guys had the better coach. your coach put the desire to win in your guys and our coach basically thought we had the series won.
