Without Iverson.. What a surprise.. LOL.
But I think putting too much faith into Rodney Stuckey by trading away Chauncey Billups hurt the Pistons. But they should have a decent draft pick this year, though. That's good.. Like 15, 16, 17 range.. Maybe they can get somebody, but I doubt it with the way Joe drafts.
But overall, here it is..
Rasheed is old, and isn't nearly the player he once was. They traded away Chauncey for cap space in 2010, so that hurts them now.. And Rodney Stuckey and Amir Johnson, especially Amir Johnson haven't developed the way they did. And by trading away Billups, the chemistry on the team got rocked by getting rid of there captain, and somebody everybody liked for a known cancer.
Joe Dumars has been a great GM for Denver though, i gotta admit. Getting them there two best players.
