On training camp previews and crowdsourcing questions
My latest from HOOPSWORLD is a training camp preview for the Pistons. It may be a bit redundant to hard-core fans who have followed the team’s every move this summer, but hopefully it’s a good refresher for casual fans who suddenly realized training camp starts next week: Detroit’s…

Big Nasty calls it a career
Former Piston (and 2004 NBA champion) Corliss Williamson will announce his retirement tomorrow. He’s going out on his own terms: Big Nasty, who’s only 33 years old, obviously can still play considering he averaged 9.1 points per game for the Kings last year.

Shameless Plug: Miami Heat preview
My latest from HOOPSWORLD: a training camp preview of the Miami Heat. I won’t spoil it, but this was one team that couldn’t afford to stand still this summer, but did anyways.

Open scrimmage at Oakland U.
The Pistons are having an open scrimmage on Thursday, Oct. 4 (6:30-8:30) at Oakland University. It’s free, so if you’re at all in the area, it’d be a great way to check out the team.

Should Rodney Stuckey be allowed to wear No. 3?

Monday’s Layup Drill
A round-up of what you could’ve been reading this weekend instead of a stale DBB: My latest from HOOPSWORLD: In certain matchups against some of the league’s bigger centers, Detroit’s undersized frontcourt may be exposed. That’s where Mohammed will prove useful, taking much…

Tony Delk and Rodney White in PHX
Former Pistons Tony Delk and Rodney White recently worked out for the Suns. Both guys played in Europe last year (White the past two years), so you have to figure it’s a long shot for either one. (Thanks, Brad!)

Amir Johnson almost started an international incident
Maybe. Probably not. But it looks like he did have fun in China. Also, unconfirmed reports suggest that Amir has been signed to star in Rush Hour IV. A lot of fans are wondering how tall Amir really is. The answer? Shorter than Yao Ming. My week in China [Amir Johnson’s Official…

GSOM Night 2: Final Call
Update: We're up to 715 tickets sold with another 40 or so still in reserve. 715 is amazing. We've more than doubled last year's 350 tickets sold.

Second Round Surprises
My latest from HOOPSWORLD: With the salary cap and luxury tax leveling the playing field and promoting parity in the NBA, the hallmark of almost every elite team with staying power is a solid draft record. Trades and free agency can help a team get over the hump, but young (and more importantly,…

On Rasheed, Flip and Game 5 sabotage
Chris McCosky has an interesting piece on Flip Saunders in the Detroit News today. Saunders has always downplayed any confrontations he may have had with Rasheed Wallace to the media, but McCosky quite explicitly described the extent to which the player-coach relationship soured last year: Last…
