to that huge block of text it isn't that their stars got old it is that they left. The core of the piston dynasty was Ben Wallace running the defense and Billups running the offense. Rip, Sheed, and prince were just good role players. Big Ben got old and left then the defense ended. Hamilton doesn't create and needs a pass first PG to feed him off screens. When AI came he played the same volume shooting role as Hamilton did. Now Ben Gordon plays the role AI had. They need to move either Rip or Ben.
