We need a bench quick!

After realizing that our team usually only plays 3 guys off the bench each night, I had an epiphany. This is going to screw us over later in the season. Right now, we usually only have Maxiell, Rip, and and McDyess come off the bench in games. Occasionally we will see Kwame, Afflalo, or Bynum get some good minutes, but we don't blow anyone out anymore, so this is barely happening. What we need is to rest our guys so we can do something in the post season. I don't see Joe D. making a big move at the deadline. But I think we may see him bolster the bench. The Pistons do not have a good backup PG or SF. We need to make a deal. There are plenty of teams willing to trade PG's right now (Hello, Earl Watson.) SF's are a bit more difficult, and that isn't as big of a need, because Tayshaun is younger and capable of going with less rest. However, the question remains, who would we have to trade? If we are not going to play Afflalo or Hermann, I think they should be sent elsewhere. We could package them together and get a decent PG, and that would create room for us to give a shot to Alex Acker or Walter Sharpe. If you have ideas, send me a link to the ESPN trade machine
