What the...?

by **Matt** on Sun Sep 04, 2005 9:38 pm

Sure is...he's a good defender and he can throw it down hard too!.

Pistons haven't made an sig. changes but addition of Davis & Evans adds depth. As does the subtraction of LB. I'm sure the bench is better than ppl think.

You mean Maurice Evans? Yeah, that was one of the most underrated aqusitions this offseason. He's a good player to come off your bench, especially if you're thin at those positions (SG/SF). Now, with Delfino and Darko having their breakout seasons, the Pistons will have a much better bench than in 2004/5. And even if they don't, an 9 men rotation with Antonio, Evans, Arroyo and Hunter coming off the bench, is still a good one for a contending team.

Detroit signs Maurice Evans.

He is a nice acquisition for the Pistons, their depth is getting stronger..

While i'm on that page..

Utah signs Devin Brown to an offer sheet.

Oh i like Devin Brown, should Spurs keep him or let him go

by **Fenix** on Sun Sep 04, 2005 10:38 pm

They got Finley to play the swingman spots and they already had Barry. So no. He's too old and doesn't have any potential left which would make him valuable for the Spurs longterm (when Bowen, Barry and Finley retire).

Okay now i understand :roll:

by **RoCkY MaIvIa** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 12:41 am

yes thats is absolutely right....San Antonio does not need 3 spot right now since they acquire mike..with bowen,barry and mike in the roster brown will be forced to the bench a lot..Well good acquisition from the jazz for me devin brown is talented player only needs playing time..

by **Keo** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 1:03 am

Sacramento had no choice but to let him go. Good acquisition for the Pistons. Certainly adds depth to their bench.

"Sacramento had no choice but to let him go".

ah yeah sorry im confused..

by **Doobie** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 1:30 am

This thread is basically about 2 people . So

1- Mo Evans = good pick up for detroit , solid for them off the beench , but won't get Much minutes.

2- D. Brown = To me he is just the right replacement for Raja Bell , maybe might do even better.

Devin Brown is only 27, how is that "old"? He's a solid pickup for the Jazz, as is Maurice Evans for the Pistons as he is able to step in when Tayshaun Prince needs a rest.

Spurs' oldest players will propably hold for another three years. He'll be thirty year-old swingman then, not exactly someone you would want to be your future.

by **RoCkY MaIvIa** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 2:00 am

anyway san Antonio doesnt need him.. well for this season..

by **Dirkules** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 2:05 am

I agree that the Spurs don't need him now, but Michael Finley is 32, Brent Barry 33 and Bruce Bowen is 34 years old, so the Spurs might have use for Devin Brown in one or two years, when he is in his prime.

So letting him leave now doesn't hurt the Spurs now, but locking him up for cheap wouldn't be a bad thing to do at all. What are the terms of the offer sheet he got from the Jazz?

by **Matt** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 2:25 am

but Spurs will get new players when their guards get too old.

by **Indy** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 2:28 am

Ahh good pick up for the Pistons. This move disappoints me because I still held out some hope that they would get Spree. Oh well.

Flip will be using a 10 man rotation this year, I think losing Larry Brown and gaining the depth they did is somewhat of a wash. I still would put them ahead of Miami this season.

by **Rip32** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 3:08 am

I like this signing. Hes a better overall player than Delfino and at 6-5 he can pull down 3-4 boards and score like 6 points every game, just what we need. Now all we have to do is trade Aroyyo, and Dupree for a solid bench guy and were awesome.

by **boconcio** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 3:19 am

trading arroyo?? man, that guy must be very underrated, he is one of the best backup PGs out there.

by **Rip32** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 5:48 am

uh no. He has no jump shot and he is wayyyy to fancy for any system, he tries sooo many behind the back passes its not even funny..

by **Riot** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 7:14 am

Mo Evans is a great player, I wanted the T-Wolves to sign him. Wolves cut him a few years ago. (N)

Pistons got a nice pick-up.

It was, and still is. But when you have (one of) the best starting lineups in the league, you can afford to have McDyess and Mau Evans as your top 2 guys coming off the wood.
