Listening to Detroit Sports radio over the past two days one could get the impression that the Detroit Sports Media thinks Joe Dumars, President of Basketball Operations for the Detroit Pistons, and new owner Tom Gores have completely lost their minds.

No matter what the local spin is, this is a team that is either rebuilding or reloading for anther historic run in the NBA post season.

After reaching six straight Eastern Conference Finals the Pistons were swept out of the first round of last year's playoffs by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Over the summer there was much second guessing about the trade that sent Chauncey Billups to Denver for one Allen Iverson.

That is a move that clearly did not work, so Piston GM Joe Dumars had to go out and change the way his team is going to play.
