With the dead weight on offense known as Ben Wallace gone, what form will the Pistons take this season. Will they become an open-ended offensive team like the Mavericks? Will they become a fun-and-gun team like the Suns? Or will they make do and stay defense-first?

They will still be a defense first team. It is what the Detroit Pistons as a franchise have been known for since the mid-80s. They will get better offensively because they will run a lot more plays through the center position and that will open up the guards along the perimeter. They also dont have to go through the Hack-a-Ben late in games anymore. They wont be running as much as the Suns. Probably run when they need to but run a half court offense to slow it down to control the game better.

they will continue to play world class defense like they've always done... my main man nazr mohamed is more than capable of filling in the role of ben "please overpay me" wallace... they will be a more exciting team to watch and they will be a better offensive team with mohamed in the middle and he is just what the doctor ordered for the pistons, and that is inside scoring help for my main man sheed... i cant say anything bad about joe dumars coz he's smart enough not to spend on greedy one-dimensional players...
if mohamed adjusts quickly to flip saunders system then it will be smooth sailing for the pistons back to the finals...

A bad one, as the remaining players realize the thrill is gone and start to mail in games once it becomes clear that they are a middle of the road team now.
