GM TWA: I get criticized often for not being good with the Media. I'm hoping that we can turn over a new leaf here with the first Pistons media session. Obviously, big news this off-season for us were the moves of Allen Iverson and Mark Jackson, and the drafting of future superstar, Kevin Martin. The focus of the team now is much more towards the future. Instead of scrapping to keep our heads above .500 with multiple cap laden pieces to our roster holding us back from really developing a championship competitor, it was time to blow it up and start over. What the move of Iverson and Mark Jackson has given us the chance to do is free up a large amount of cap space while acquiring multiple first round draft picks in what is shaping out to be one of the deeper drafts in this league's long 5 year history. Currently, Stephen Jackson and Kevin Martin are the cornerstones of this new Pistons franchise and with only three other players on salary after this season, it allows us to focus our efforts on a couple of key positions. All-in-all, I feel like this flexibility will only help mold us into a championship calibur franchise sooner.
Any questions?
