DETROIT (AP) ? Ronald Dupree agreed to a two-year contract with the Detroit Pistons on Monday, adding depth to one of his former teams.

The small forward averaged 2.2 points and 7.4 minutes for the Minnesota Timberwolves last year.

Detroit traded Dupree to the Timberwolves just before the 2005 season for a second-round pick to clear a roster spot for rookie guard Alex Acker.

Dupree averaged 3.2 points in 47 games two years ago for the Pistons after signing a two-year contract with the team.

The 6-foot-7 forward scored 6.2 points in 19 minutes per game as a rookie with Chicago in the 2003-04 season after almost making Detroit's team as an undrafted free agent. He played in 47 games, starting eight, for the Bulls. [/b]

I never wanted Dupree to leave and im glad hes back. With Flip and Delfino I dont know how much time he'll get but im just happy to have him back in a pistons uniform and hopefully flip can find a way to give time to delfino, flip, and dupree this season.

He is the same thing as MO evans IMO, I always liked him, but this dont make since UNLESS we are gonna trade delfino. I met ronald dupree, I got a pic with him somewhere.

I think I understand what they are trying to do. Even though they say flip is going to play the 2. I think flip is going to play mostly pg that way they have two wing players. One that can score and the other play defense.

JROLLA · 07-17-2006, 04:20 PM

so whats's the bench look like by positions as of 2day?

pg - Flip/Lindsey
sg- ? flip?
sf- dup/delfino
pf - Dice
C- Davis/maxiell (i hope)

Theres nothing wrong with having a little depth on the roster and it makes things a little interesting now delfino will have to earn his spot in the rotation. Theres nothing wrong with a little competition on teams and maybe Delfino will step his game up this year. If delfino is really better he'll get his minutes.

I was sad when they traded Dupree last year. It will be interesting to see how the backup SF plays out this season between him and Delfino.

Now we got Flip X 2 and Ronald X2.

dabullz · 07-17-2006, 05:44 PM

Hey yea I always liked Depree on the Bulls and was mad we got rid of him. Im sure he'll put in some great numbers coming off the bench. Hes a blue collar player!

dtowngurl_22 · 07-17-2006, 06:05 PM

I'm not too excited. I was sad he was gone too because he came off as such a good guy and displayed lots of hard work and hustle... OK maybe now I like it! lol I mean hard work and hustle is what we lacked last year and what we need so I'm cool with it. I just don't like the combination of players. I like Delfino but then again, how much have we seen of him? I wasn't sold on Flip and still am not, and Ronald who's a liability in many areas.... I'm just eager to see how this turns out.

Same here, but it's all turned out good.

DTP · 07-18-2006, 12:02 AM

I just hope we dont get rid of him again.

Combs · 07-18-2006, 01:23 AM

I think this puts Delfino on another team, which would seriously piss me off. I liked Dupree...but he is not going to help us win a title..we are settling to much and I don't like it. We haven't had many options this off-season.
