Pistons Possibly Trying To Land T-MAC for Billups and T-Prince

then everyone has to make plays for each other. Isn't it what Adelman's system all about?

 

You are dead on! Who?

 

It won't happen. I don't want it to happen. Plus this is a stupid trade for us.

Billups is declining, Tayshaun can't pick up the scoring load, and if Yao get injured, can these two help us win game without him? Seriously doubt it.

People are just saying McGrady's name to stir up crap, Morey wouldn't trade these two guys for him. The thing is that they already said that they will build around Mac/Yao so why do we still have these threads about trading one of them? No team will trade for any of Detroit players unless they have a troublesome player(Melo) or they are going to get a steal. So Dumars is stuck in this situation.

 

Then you could move Battier and a couple assets for Turkoglu and have a starting lineup of (if supposed rumors or speculation are true):

Billups
Prince
Turkoglu
Scola
Yao

That's pretty nice. Yao would have all kinds of room to operate with all those shooters on the floor. A slasher type coming off the bench would be beneficial to that lineup (Stevie?).

 

JR Smith is who we need.....Think about it...A scorer can d up guys....shoots the 3 from range and can take it to the hole.

 

Chauncey B-B-B-Billups!

 

I would do it. Then move battier and bjax for a solid two. maybe even a vince carter. I can dream cant I?
Yao/hayes/deke
Scola/landry/hayes
Prince/CDR
Carter/??
Billups/brooks

 

On paper that looks like such an awesome line-up. I like it a lot.

 

jeez, I don't know, a multi-time all star PG in Billups may fill the role

Not sure under what fantasy universe you live in where the Rocket two injury prone stars will be older yet healthier, because the longer you wait for that train the less llikly it is to pull into the station. Also despite the weaker supporting cast, the two stars were good in 2007 but obviously not good enough.

 

Think we have a hard time scoring now? This is a dumb trade, plus Billups NEEDS shooters around him to me fully effective. We have none of those on our roster.

 

We need scorers, not jump shooters. this trade give us a chance to get 3 scorers by trading away one.

 

Hell yeah, Billups is a legit point guard. And I love Tayshaun Prince.

 

You really think he has five years left? That is his contract starting at 10 million this year. Plus he doesn't play any D, why has Dumars given up on him?

Also keep in mind staring over with new players and each other getting to know one anothers game Etc. Why waste anymore time we are there we just need a tweak here or there.

 

prince is a shooter. And if you make this deal you Obviously don’t stand pat afterwards. That’s when you have to get creative and make another move for a solid shooter/SG
I Guarantee you that a combination of Battier + Bjax can net you someone like Redd, Carter, Ect…

 

I wouldn't do it. Hamilton plus Billups is the only one I would consider but I wouldn't be sure of that either.

 

Since when was Tayshaun a scorer? Trade T-Mac, and you will regret this idiotic move for years. Carmelo is more likely to end up in Detroit.

 

Yeah, Battier would need to be moved for a scorer in my opinion. Although, it would be interesting to have 2 lock down defenders on the perimeter in Battier and Prince. If they keep Battier, they should go for Hamilton rather than Prince.

 

At first that would seem like a nice roster. But start puting that team against the top teams and start thinking defensive matchups. That team would suck defensively and we already complain about our lack of athleticism.

No thanks.

 

Agreed its 50 cents to the dollar.....I have never been high on McGrady but he is a better fit than the proposed trades here. I think we need JR Smith, cheap, can play D, drive it to the hole, can shoot the three.....Think about it am i the only one seeing the potential in this guy. I know he is a knuckle head but perhaps Mutumbo can get in his ear.......

 

Deal Rafer. Deal BJax (expiring contract). Deal Francis if he's gimped (expiring contract). Maybe take a shot at dealing Head, although I think Luther gets too much hate and not enough credit. Get somebody who can shoot from the outside consistently.
