I think the mentality in Detroit was that if he didn't sign, Dumars would do a sign-and-trade so they could at least get something for him. But that didn't happen, and that's the worst part of it, not that he left because that's just too much money to pay for him, and in a couple years Chicago is going to find that out the hard way. This also does not address what Chicago needs - offense. Great article in the Detroit Free Press by Michael Rosenberg about how this may not appear as it is.
