Nuggets Trade with Detroit

[RipCity32]

Well think of it this way. If Detroit traded for T-Mac or Carmelo in the off-season wouldn't it pretty much be the same way?

The bottom line is Detroit NEEDED a go to guy. We were good with a balanced team, but we needed a superstar.

The one thing I have always like about Detroit is the fact that their recent success hasn't been because of the fact that they had a clear-cut superstar. No team has played better and won more as a complete "team" than Detroit has.

Ben Wallace's departure was perfect example. The guy hasn't done sh*t since he left Motown & even the most average NBA fan has realized he was no big star in Detroit. Wallace was good in Detroit because of his role & the way his role meshed together with the rest of the roleplayers on that team.

Yep Sheed, Rip, Prince, & Billups made him look good.

Yeah you got a good point AE. But I mean we haven't won the title since 2004. Obviously we had to do something.

I'd agree with that. No doubt that the "Big 3" in Boston really forces a team like Detroit to bring in a big name & change things up in an attempt to reclaim the East.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeh. I finally get how you guys think this wouldn't work.

IDK, I don't see Detroit failing at all. We can win without Billups, I'm sure we can win with AI. This not working just, doesn't seem right.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Well yea, but he is still superstar status and a lot better than Billups.

It's not like we need him long term.

Iverson is a better player than Billups. Without a doubt. But Billups is better for the Pistons than AI.

That's as simple as it can be put.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah I get what your saying. But it's was time for a change so.

 

[The Young One]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Iverson and the pistons will mesh together real well.

 

[RipCity32]

We will get a look tonight. =D

 

[MapleLeaf]

Wow this is gonna be hot.
