I already did the Pistons but heres more clarification

The Pistons will lose at least one good player June 22 or 23. That's when the expansion draft for the Charlotte Bobcats will take place. Teams can protect eight players, and the Bobcats can take any player unprotected.

If no trades are made or no player is cut, the Pistons likely will protect their starting five of Mehmet Okur, Tayshaun Prince, Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups. Of the reserves, Chucky Atkins seems to suit coach Larry Brown's system and might be back next season. Darvin Ham, Lindsey Hunter, Bobby Sura and Zeljko Rebraca will be free agents at the end of the season, and all four could be gone. So could Tremaine Fowlkes. Elden Campbell has had his ups and downs, and if Darko Milicic could play backup center next season, Campbell might be left unprotected.

Carlos Delfino, playing for Skipper Bologna in Italy, is expected to be on the roster next season, which would put him in the top eight. So the big decision centers around Corliss Williamson and whom the Pistons' pick in the June 24 draft.

i wasn't sure about Delfino's status. Lets see what Joe D does

Teams Remaining:
Atlanta Hawks
Golden State Warriors
Houston Rockets
LA Clippers
Utah Jazz

btw, with all the trading that went on since this topic has been posted, should this topic be restarted?

by **EGarrett** on Sun Feb 22, 2004 12:16 pm

That's a good question. Certain teams like the Hawks, and Pistons need to be redone.

Of course...as I'm sure you can tell...I've been swamped with schoolwork lately so I haven't had time to keep up with the trivia game and this.

If no one wants to do the teams that remain I can do them and then ... after redoing some...we can all post our versions of the Bobcats.

by **fgrep15** on Sun Feb 22, 2004 12:55 pm

I was gonna say you should have waited till after the trade deadline.

But s'all good, the only problem is that we don't know what players will opt out of contracts, or what players won't so that affects the process, also some teams don't have more than 7 players signed after the season, but every team has to have at least one player in the Draft.

That's like leaving your car running in the middle of the street with the door open because you don't like the gas mileage. Those possessions have value...you don't just throw them away.

bobby simmons is proving to be quite the baller this year....hes usable at 3 different positions....ely is a good power post player and good post defender but the clippers show no interest in him and he doesnt even play, so you might wanna switch those 2 around...(i know this they're my favorite team and i know all about them so..)

by **fgrep15** on Tue Feb 24, 2004 1:02 pm

I was thinking they'd leave Eddie House out, since him and Dooling have been pretty dissapointing at the point this year, Dooling 10th pick, man. I see them keeping Simmons for sure though, he has really been helpful. I dunno who between Ely and House though, Ely doesn't play, but big men normally have better trade value.
