June 30th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Doc Hollywood

These days it seems a tad ironic to call anything in Detroit “flush,” but that is just what the Detroit Pistons are with over $20 million in cap space coming into the off-season in the increasingly competitive Eastern Conference (is there any disparity left between East and West??).
