Michael Curry fired as Pistons coach after one year...

The Detroit Pistons out of no where fired Michael Curry after only one year of coaching.

He had a bad year but there werea lot of trades and roster moves that pinned him in a bad corner.

So who will take over?

I'm guessing either Avery Johnson or Doug Collins.

Wow, this is more of a railroading job then Amtrack

The Pistons sold away their talent to save money and the coach that dealt with this crap roster then gets fired?

REALLY?

Sure, because stinking with Iverson is better than being with "lackluster" Billups and losing in the Conference Finals? And what was son lackluster about Billups play?

Yeah...it really just seems like Curry's the scapegoat here. Dumars is really at fault, but he wasn't going to be fired because he has a good track record (with the exception of the AI/Billups trade).JML897

Woah that's huge, I've been on vacation. I need to get my am radio on nao. Must be some prospects he likes out there.

[QUOTE="roboccs"] The Pistons were not going to win a championship with Billups. He was actually playing very lackluster the last season and a half with the Pistons. roboccs

All they need is 1 high level free agent this summer and 1 high level free agent next summer. This will be the first time Joe hasn't had to settle for mid level guys because of money.

Think about it guys, when most teams go through rebuilding they miss the playoffs. The Pistons almost went .500 and went to the playoffs, thats a lot better than other teams in the same situation.

Edit: Looks like gordon will be the man this year, I don't know where he would fit in except 6th man. Hopefully at least one of those forwards that got drafted will work out this year.

I agree with you. Dumars is the one who needs to go.jjwalker9600

:question: Are we seeing completely different teams and coaches here? Because when I look back on this past season, I see a terrible rookie coach, who never had a gameplan and had zero ability to deal with any personnel problem that came his way. People like to say that Dumars made major roster changes with Iverson, and that's true from a skillset standpoint. But remember that that was the only change he made from the start of the season, and all the other players were still there. Curry was either too incompetent or inexperienced to deal with the problems, and neither option is good enough for a quality organization like the Detroit Pistons. Let unsure coaches earn their stripes on some third-rate team, not here.

I also don't understand the "fire Dumars" sentiment. Since his eight-year tenure, the Pistons have made it to the playoffs in all but his first year, made the Conference Finals six years straight, the Finals twice and have won a championship. The team hasn't been in luxury-tax hell like so many other competitive teams, and in fact has mountains of cap space right now. Dumars has made plenty of errors - Darko and Curry come to mind as bone-headed mistakes - but he's not afraid to cut his losses and fix them. He sure isn't a perfect GM, but he's a hell of a lot closer to it than most others in the league.
