I'm not as down on Joe Dumars as most, basically if Dumars drafts anyone one but Darko in that top slot we are calling him one of the greatest GM's of all time. But he didn't and he spent the rest of his career trying to make up for it.

I've also always said Demps philosophy reminds me a lot of Joe Dumars. Ironically, Dumars always thought the draft was a crap shoot and focused most of his efforts on getting vets on his team. Similar to what Demps has done.

Still, not sure if I want Dumars to screw up what Dell has going here.

Also, just reading between the lines, I think Dell and Monty really do hate each other. Just guessing, but I think Loomis might want a third party mediator between the two of them. If that was Dumars' role, I would be more okay with it.

Dumars did a horrendous job for the last several years of that job.

Dumars scares me because the league he was successful in is nothing like the league we're in today. And its evolving FAST.

The last thing I want is for Dumars to come in with that old arse, slow it down, walk it up and get stops, Pistons philosophy.

If we're looking for some new cutting edge, innovative shite, Dumars is the last guy we want.

His coaching hires since 2009: Michael Curry, John Kuester, Lawrence Frank, Maurice Cheeks , John Loyer

Wow. One bust of the top 6 picks. Nice draft class. And I agree with your post
