I have followed Carlos since he was very young, and as talented as he is on the court, his at ude needs a lot of work:
He still hasn't a team concept like his fellow partners at National Team do; he is quite a spoiled kid, with an "entourage" that doesn't provide him with any wise advise (f.e.: he talks way too much to the press: you want out of a team? OK, quietly instruct your agent to try to arrange sth with GM ... this public barrage has shortened his options in the rest of the league).
It's true he fall into the worst situation possible in the form of LB, but the Pistons emptied the whole back up guards positions for him, it's not like they weren't making a bet on him ... and besides, the LB issue was foreseeible, why didn't anybody on his camp advised to point to other teams in the draft? There were quite a few interested on him...
Delfino is not made in the same mold, personality wise, as Manu, Chapu, Scola (do you imagine Manu dissing Pop and Turk on the press after being benched?)
Ke's still a kid, maybe he will grow up maybe he won't .. but if he doesn't, he better earn the right to be a primma donna with basketball production, otherwise he will end up out of the league, which is what I think may happen in the end (nothing to worry about him, he will still be a richly paid bball player in Europe)
Cheers.

Just to point out a few things.
1-Manu and Delfino aren't buddies, they have barely played together, just in the olympics. Unlike Manu and Scola who have been playing together at least 5 or 6 years in the national team.
2-Delfino said in an interview he was kinda more an all around player than Manu, he didn't say he was better, although I'm not really sure what he meant by that.
3-Delfino has the right to be disappointed by the way LB managed this situation, LB should have called Carlos and told him that he was not going to be on the playoff roster, he didnt need to explain himself to him, just tell him.
With that said, I'm kinda disappointed at Delfino myself, he has the tools to be a very good player, but he certainly doesn't seem to be well adviced, he talks too much to the press and says things he should keep private. The whole knee situation was very unpleasant, the way he didn't trust the pistons medical staff and all that.
He might be more of an all around player than Manu, but he certainly is in another league in terms of mental toughness and press interviews.
I read this interview, and that's bullcrap.
Delfino is NOT a better all around player than Manu. Delfino has potential, he just needs some brains behind the whole thing...he's physically there, he just needs to get real and start over.
That's all he needs to do...start over somewhere else, forget the past, and improve his skills in the NBA.
Bring him on over.
The guy is a seriously great talent, and him starting next to Manu in a couple years would be a fantastic starting 5.
If Dumars wants to trade him, Id be first in line.
Exactly.A lot of Argentines were saying this guy was as good or better than Manu.
Sounds like he turned out to be a spoiled, whiny beotch
LB has done a lot worse stuff to hundreds of rookies. I don't think any have snapped back by calling him an a$$ho1e. Delfino has a lot of talent, but the Spurs didn't even think about drafting him. He has a well known reputation of being a whiney beotch. He's always been like that.
The problem is he thinks he's a lot better than he is. He isn't a very good teammate. Delfino will probably but up some big stats if he ever got on a team with a weak coach, but he'll never win anything.
I thought Delfino said that he was a better all around player because he could do everything Manu could do, plus he had a better shot. That's pretty y.2-Delfino said in an interview he was kinda more an all around player than Manu, he didn't say he was better, although I'm not really sure what he meant by that.
Did LJ just pimp his own post?
It'll very interesting to see where this guy ends up -- and what he might get in trade after this.
That's what I said...
If what he said is true, then why isn't he starting, or signing $52 million contracts?
Yeah, I'm sure that was very unpleasant situation. I understand that he was worried about his knee, but when doctors are telling you that you don't need another operation -- it's weird to go out and get a second surgery elsewhere.The whole knee situation was very unpleasant, the way he didn't trust the pistons medical staff and all that.
You quote yourself and then say 'exactly?' That's funny.
I agree with you though. I don't know that his head is in the right place for him to succeed in the NBA. Good take, even if you did quote yourself.

Well since people thought I was crazy for the next ~ten posts, I had to bump it.
Delfino sounds like he was mistreated, but he also sounds like, as others have pointed out, a whiney biotch. He's a prima donna in the making with an overly inflated idea of his skills. He was also crap on the court this year.
LMFAO, that's hilarious that you quoted yourself.... I guess it might have been funnier if you'd disagreed with yourself.......
Here are Delfino's and Ham's efficiency stats.
As you can tell, neither one has exactly been tearing up the league.Code:Efficiency Efficiency Efficiency Name Team Games Per Game Per Minute Total Delfino, Carlos DET 30 4.07 (348) 0.266 (415) 122 (356) Ham, Darvin DET 47 1.11 (447) 0.189 (441) 52 (394)

You should start talking in third person now.
I believe Delfino main problem is that he is not used to work in the NBA enviroment. His at ude when the knee problem, the communication issues with LB and other details showed up that he has problems working in an NBA roster.
He is a very talented player, but way too emotional. If he believes that his coach will be like a father or a friend, he should go back into High School or a non-professional league in another country.
The problem was that he didn't felt OK after the first surgery, so he came back to Argentina to have surgery with a doctor he trusted. That means that he didn't trust in the doctors that the Pistons assigned to him. That is way too much at ude for a rookie, if he needed a second surgery, he should have accepted what the Pistons staff said.
That's what he said, but it is no way near the truth. His numbers in Europe weren't so impressive, and he wasn't the go-to-guy down the strech for his team. And his FG% in the Olympics and the NBA weren't amazing, even if he came out off the bench, he didn't play his shooter role too.
He also had problems with Magnano -the former Argentina head coach- before the Olympics, when he whined about being left out for some tournaments and being called up for some crappy ones. He is just too y for what he has done in a Basketball Court so far. I hope that he just shuts his mouth from now on, because he is doing a great damage to Argentinian basketball. With all the hard work and years of sacrfice required by an Argentinian to get into the NBA, Delfino just starts whinning. Players that had even less chances in the NBA, like Sanchez or Wolkowyski, didn't whine like him.
OMFG that's funny. The one man flame war!
Yeah, those sixers were REALLY impressive today......W/E FearDaFrow...
