The Pistons knew they couldn't afford to pony up the money to match Utah's offer sheet to Mehmet Okur, so they let him go early and he offically signed his deal yesterday.
I'll tell you, the Jazz are gonna be a tough team in the Western Conference next year. Too bad they'll also be one of the league's most hated teams. But then again it's par for the course, considering that this is the same franchise that displayed an utter lack of class in the Karl Malone/Kobe Bryant skit they did during a matchup against the Lakers.

I won't hate them (Of course, why should I? The DETROIT PISTONS are the WORLD CHAMPIONS. And, no, I won't stop saying that.), especially since I think every shot taken at Malone is hilarious, even if it was cheap. And while I'll miss Memo's broken English and poor man's Mark Madsen impressions, seeing him on the opposing side doesn't exactly strike fear into my heart.
And if the Jazz didn't have enough bad karma alone by signing a Dukie, the way in which Boozer left the Cavs should certainly be enough to curse the Jazz for at least a few years.
2004 WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! That's not a riot, that's 20,000 fans telling the rest of America to kiss our asses.
