Free agent forward Austin Daye was supposed to be the future – at least somewhat – for the Detroit Pistons when they took him with the 15th overall pick back in the 2009-2010 season. He had height, length and the ability to shoot the ball with range.

They now have an established veteran in Scola – who has the ability to shoot from the mid-range to compliment his post game – coming off the bench to spell David West. Losing a draft pick always hurts, but adding a veteran
You can not go through a day on Twitter without Metta World Peace tweeting something crazy or wanting fans to come hang out with him.
