Win or Lose, Changes Are Needed

After the 2008 NBA season has concluded Detroit Pistons President Joe Dumars needs to take a close look at his roster and realize changes need to be made.
This current enstallment of Pistons no longer has the drive or determination to put out everynight in order to claim another championship.
Next season should be a team in which Tayshaun Prince is no longer a part of, while Richard Hamilton should be shopped around for interest. Neither of these individuals are the same player they showed to be in the championship run of 2004.
Hamiltons numbers are down from almost 21 points a game to 17. He is also becoming more and more vocal with the referees and has become as much of a technical foul threat as Rasheed Wallace. His defense has steadily fallen from serviceable to just clinging on to his opponent to try to keep him close.
Prince on the other hand has become one of the biggest prima donnas in Detroit. He has forgotten what got him into the Pistons line up in the first place....defense and hustle plays. Now Prince has the notion that he is an NBA star who deserves to be able to slack off on both ends of the floor. I have news for you Mr. Prince, you are averaging 13 points and 4 rebounds a game, you have never come close to being an All Star, and you will always be no better than the fourth option on the floor. Now he is getting torched by the likes of Andre Iguodala in the playoffs....a far cry from the lockdown defender who harrassed both Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant in 2004.
So Joe, if you are listening, please bring in an infusion of players who once again are hungry and determined to play with passion on a consistant basis. Everyone thought you were crazy when you sent Jerry Stackhouse packing for a younger, hungier player in Richard Hamilton. Now it may be time to do it again.
