Bill Laimbeer Quits the Detroit Shock!
Bill, Bill, Bill!!!!
Please coach the Pistons. I beg of thee. I implore thee. We need you.
Honestly, you need us too. You need a team that’s ready to win, not the Timberwolves. They are young and will drive you crazy!!!
Joe D, come on man. Just demote Coach Curry lol!

Auburn Hills, MI – Tom Wilson, President and CEO of the Detroit Shock and Palace Sports and Entertainment, announced today that Bill Laimbeer has resigned from his duties as head coach and general manager of the Detroit Shock. In a related move, Wilson announced that effective immediately, Rick Mahorn has been promoted to head coach and Cheryl Reeve has been promoted to assistant coach/general manager.
“It’s disappointing that Bill has decided to step down as head coach and general manager of the Detroit Shock,” said Wilson. “But at the same time, Bill led the Shock to three WNBA Championships and a league-record 27 postseason victories during his seven-year tenure. We thank him for his guidance and dedication to the franchise and our organization.”

Ryan (Young R) June 15th at 11:01 pm
My exact thoughts when I heard about this today.
I really want him to become the coach of the Pistons!
Why else would he resign from the Shock after another successful championship season, eh?
Richard June 16th at 12:26 am

John W. Davis June 16th at 9:08 am

What d’ya think of Ariza?
I doubt the Lakers can keep both Ariza and Odom, most likely they’d keep Odom.
Richard June 16th at 6:47 pm
i think they’d keep ariza over odom
Richard June 16th at 9:31 pm
Remember back in ‘07 when the Lakers “agreed” to trade Kobe to this us but Kobe used his no trade clause. I bet the same thing would’ve happened that happened with a.i.
Here’s the realgm article:

John W. Davis June 16th at 9:40 pm
The Lakers are keeping both of them. Championships make more than enough money to pay the luxury tax.
John W. Davis June 16th at 9:43 pm
I remember this trade. http://www.pistonscast.com/podcasts/pistonscast002.mp3
Check out that Episode where did a skit about the Kobe trade!

@John
Agree about Odom & Ariza. LA made an additional $48 million from all those home playoff games.
Pistonscast June 17th at 8:39 am
Thank you Mr. Darth Kays!
Ali June 17th at 2:51 pm
About Ariza and Odom, I think that Ariza is still doable as long as the Pistons are willing to overpay a little. I’d say that Odom is willing to go down to $9-10 million, which opens up a good $5 million. However due to the increasing design of the Lakers’ contracts, a lot of that $5 million will be instantly sucked up next year.
I think that if the Pistons hand out a good contract of around $8-9 million, they have a good chance of getting Ariza. Its worth it because he’s much more durable than Tayshaun and will be the guy to finally slow down LeBron (or at least guard him one on one to take out the teammates), not to mention he seems to have an extremely high ceiling.
Ali June 17th at 2:53 pm
Then again this is not taking into consideration the revenue from the playoffs
John W. Davis June 17th at 5:17 pm
@Ali The Lakers are going over the camp to keep that team in take. Odom walks way before Ariza. Huge age and consistency difference.
Ali June 17th at 6:01 pm
I know but its fun to dream
