Did you know the Detroit Pistons are the only team to have 4 of 5 new starters?

First topic message reminder :

since the begging of the 2008-2009 season

2009

PG Chauncey Billups
SG Richard Hamilton
SF TayshaunPrince
PF Jason Maxiel
C Rasheed Wallace

2010

PG Rodney Stuckey
SG Ben Gordon
SF Tayshaun Prince
PF Charlie Villanueva
C Ben Wallace

The only player still left in the starting lineup if Tayshaun Prince.

Isnt it amazing the Pistons changed such a succesful roster so fast?

well RIP is mostl likely gonna be the one to get traded.

He has more value. He has been to the finals and he plays both offense and defense. The pistons might package him with another guy to get a big guy

How bout Rip Hamilton for Tyson Chandler if the Rip/Gordon thing doesn't work?

The Pistons wouldnt sign Ben Gordon and vastly overpay him with a 5 year 55 mil dollar contract just to trade him

Rip Hamilton rumors have been going on for a while

Something just doesn't strike me right about the way this team is built. They went from a team full of chemistry and solid defense to a team that's going to have to put the ball in Ben Gordon's hands consistently. Charlie Villanueva is a Shooting Forward in a Power Forward's body who plays smaller. Kwame Brown is Kwame Brown. Stuckey is not a Point Guard -- he's a combo guard, and in the end I feel bad for Tayshaun Prince to have to play with this mix and match of confusion.

I agree they a team they did not have to make any big chances too

once they trade Billups for Iverson it fell apart. I knew it was going to turn out to be a crap deal.

The Pistons organization should've left things the way it is.

A team that in 2004 Wins An NBA title,2005 wins the Eastern Conference,and 2006,2007,and 2008 makes the Eastern Conference Finals did not need to be changed around.

Detroit basketball has officially fell from its glory days

as a rivals Bulls fan its good too see them lose though Twisted Evil
