No lottery luck, but Pistons should get decent big guy BOB WOJNOWSKI There's no easy remedy for the Pistons, and no quick fix. Sorry, there was no magic in the NBA draft lottery, which means team president Joe Dumars will have to rebuild the old-fashioned way, the way he did once before. The Pistons could have used some luck Tuesday night, that's for sure. Their ownership is in flux and their roster is still going through a rocky transformation. But at least the draft looks deep in an area of severe need -- size. To get better, it would help if the Pistons got bigger, and they should. Their chance for a quicker turnaround with Kentucky star point guard John Wall evaporated, not that anyone expected to cash in 5.3-percent lottery odds. The Pistons took their appointed draft slot at No. 7, and that officially sets up a key summer for the franchise. Going big Dumars needs to find help with that high pick, and should get a shot at one of the touted big men -- North Carolina's 6-foot-10 Ed Davis, Georgetown's 6-11 Greg Monroe or Baylor's 6-10 Ekpe Udoh (the Michigan transfer). "We're looking at getting someone that can come in and help us right away," Dumars said. "This is a good draft if you're looking for big men." Detroit News Sports Column

Rumor was that Calipari is angling to be Lebron's next coach. I've had it with Calipari. I used to be a fan, but he really turned out to be a one way piece of crap. I've been a Kentucky fan for years and he's ready to bail already. In case anyone didn't notice, he SUCKED as an NBA head coach. The lovefest between him and Lebron will end real fast if he becomes his coach. As coach of the Nets, he alienated every single starter on the team with his giant ego. Screw him.

I've never been a Boston fan but I really don't like Dwight Howard either. His accidentally on purpose elbows should get him suspended. He has a history of such cheap shots.
