AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- The Detroit Pistons say Flip Saunders won't be back next season after leading the team to three straight Eastern Conference finals appearances.

The team made the announcement Tuesday in a news release with president of basketball operations Joe Dumars saying he feels it is necessary to make a change despite Saunders' successes.

In his three seasons, the Pistons were 176-70 in the regular season and 30-21 in the postseason, but they lost in the conference finals each year.

Saunders had a year left on a four-year deal that he signed in 2005. He replaced Larry Brown, who won a title in two trips to the NBA Finals.

What's your take?
Is this the right move for the Pistons?

YES!! Absolutely the right decision. The Pistons/Dumars need to continue to be smart and send Rasheed packing!!!

SAUNDERS = GONE
WALLACE = NEEDS TO GO
PRINCE = BETTER BE CAREFUL OR YOU'RE NEXT
STUCKEY = 2008 STARTER FOR SURE
MAXIELL = UNDERRATED AND NEEDS TO BE A STARTER
HUNTER = ADD TO THE COACHING TEAM
AVERY JOHNSON = NEW HEAD COACH

Yes he should have been fired... he brough absolutely NOTHING to the team. The Pistons already had the ability to make it to the eastern conference finals, and even to the national finals... what they need is someone who can motivate, teach, aid them in winning those finals.
