yes, terrible moves by Joe D led the pistons to a record-tying six straight ECF, 2 world championship series, one ring and another playoff appearance during this down year. Kill him now

(and to think, we could have been like Denver with Melo and not done jack that whole time, until he finally had his break-out year and was able to choke in the WCF!!!!! Damn you Joe D!!!! )

i don't think the pistons made it to 6 straight conference finals because of his draft picks

like i said good trades and free agent signings but terrible drafts. yes and carmello pretty much sucked until this year and did nothing in the playoffs
