If they'll let one of Boozer/Milsap/Okur go next year. And we have cap space, why exactly do we make this trade?

Originally posted by AIadvocate: Billups and Hamilton are the Pistons of 2003-2006...it's over. Team played with more cohesion tonight than they had all season...because the offense wasn't slowed down waiting for Rip to come around screens, then dribbling in PLACE, not making good decisions or drawing another defender. Guy has no place with Iverson and the emergence of Stuckey on this team. Doesn't fit our style with AI/Stuckey penetrating and Prince and Rasheed need more touches anyway. Not only that, we can now play another big more minutes, which makes us more balanced. Face it, Rip's time in Detroit should be over. I think Joe D knows it too. Why bring in AI anyway, knowing Stuckey is emerging and Iverson's a natural 2. Also Joe D knows how close Billups and Rip are. This is just another transition. Rip's going bye-bye hopefully. BTW, I heard from a friend tonight and after AI hit the game winner last night, he said Rip was the only one not smiling or excited. Guy gives off bad energy for this team and it shows.
Why bring in AI? It's all about cap space but you can't get that through you AI infatuated head can you? A one year rental. Bye bye AI, hello cap space. Who was your friend btw? Your sock when AI hit the game winner? Keep your dream alive of AI being a winner...Too bad he is old and washed up but he was good like 5 years ago.

Maxiell for Wilcox???? Why because Wilcox had that sweet dunk against them last night. I dont think so!
The pistons should just hold fort. However they need to change the starting line-up. Tayshaun cant play powerfoward, I think we all can agree on that. So move Tay to the bench and He could be for the Pistons, like a Manu is for the Spurs. I say to put Tay on the bench because he is vercital and a team player, and its only for a year. I think Rip is a better on ball defender than Tayshaun(Becuase Tay is a way over-rated defender) And the pistons scoring would be better with Rip in the starting line up, allowing Stuck or AI to create and dish it out to Sheed, Rip, and maybe Mcdyess(If he starts) THATS THE WAY I SEE IT!

I bring up AI because he is a better shooting guard than Rip and the Pistons are stupid to keep Rip for 2 more years and not keep Iverson. As much as I love Iverson, you have a disdain for him that's obvious. Don't put holes in the wall when he does well. I'd love to *****slap an idiot like you, you need it.
I just figured it out. I bet you are about 5'6" and you have short mans syndrome so that is why you love AI. About the only thing you could slap on me would be my kneecaps. Man I love getting you all angry. I find this to be pure entertainment but you don't get it. You need a woman or something unless of course you swing the other way (most likely).

You remember all those battles with INdiana and New Jersey in the 2004 playoffs? Who was that guy getting 30+ leading us to victorys in huge games with our backs agaisnt the wall? Who was that guy outscoring Kobe and Shaq by himself? Who was that guy averaging 26ppg in the Finals? He averages 22 a game in the playoffs, he elevates his game every Spring, he makes big shots.
Rip is that good. Hes the been the most consistent player in these last 7 seasons.

That was a sweet dunk! I'd trade Brown, Herrmann & a 2nd for Wilcox. Wilcox is going to be a free agent next year anyways.
