Let's just be clear about one thing. I am not a Joe Dumars
hater.  I love and respect the man for not only helping the
Detroit Pistons win two titles during my early years, but I also
appreciate all he did in building a winner in my senior year of
college.  My formative years on this planet have been
dramatically influenced by this man.  That being said, I am not
100 percent sure that I can trust him right now.  The Detroit
Pistons are about to embark on just their second offseason
during the Dumars era in which they have a heap of cash to spend
on prospective free agents.  We already know that the NBA draft
will be tough sledding for the Pistons since the basketball gods
deemed them unworthy of luck during the draft lottery (I knew we
were in trouble when ESPN rolled out its karma list and had the
Pistons drafting first).   The best they can hope for at this
point is that Shabazz Muhammad slips to them with the eighth
overall pick.  So it will be up to Dumars to turn this team
around quickly through free age
