But oh well...I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I will say this...he has all the tools to definitely be an All Star...at times he was carving up the Celtics like it was Thanksgiving dinner. Besides, they can always be like the Spurs and just bring Billups off the bench. haha. alot of people think I’m a bit nuts. But oh well…I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

I'm saying he'll be Wade without injuries in a couple years... not saying he was there already...cause that is downright crazy. He'll get there soon though. and in his first season...was D Wade getting to play behind one of the better backcourts in the league. Not that I remember. @ rangerjohn

thats true. I’m saying he’ll be Wade without injuries in a couple years… not saying he was there already…cause that is downright crazy. He’ll get there soon though.

and in his first season…was D Wade getting to play behind one of the better backcourts in the league. Not that I remember.

Chauncey and Sheed are the top two to be shipped out of anyone. Rip will stay as with Tayshaun and Dyess. I really feel Stuckey will be starting next year. The team ran better with Stuckey at the point against Boston IMO. Dude gets a solid jumper and he's unguardable. He's D Wade without the injuries. and for everyone who isn’t around Detroit..

Okafor on the Pistons would be good I think. anyone know what Okafor is making in salary…and what would have to happen to have salaries match to get him and send Sheed to Charlotte with Lary Brown so they can whine themselves to sleep together with all their crying foul.

What about the Pistons...no way I give up chauncey from that team. He's the motor and the floor general for that team. When they won that championship he was the finals MVP. That was just 3 years ago. I say give up Tayshaun straight up for Melo. It would give the Nuggets the defensive presence they need and Tay's not that bad of a scorer. Homey can give you at least 16 points a night. And that's when he was the fourth option imagine if they gave him the green light...he probably could put up 20 ppg. Plus Detroit looks much better with a starting line up of CB, Rip, Melo, Sheed, Dice. Everybodies talking about what a bad deal for the Nuggets it would be.
