Detroit sucks, and they still are sucking chauncey's dick, they never wanted to play with him and that was doomed from the start. Like kudabeen said, last year denver was a 50 win team! they failed in the playoffs because they do not have the neccesary talent to win and the lakers were way better. If u switch iverson and kobe, iverson would win in LA and KOBE would be crying in detroit @ kudabeen, i totally agree with you.

AI was good playin with philly....he gave them everything he could give, yet he had a shitty cast. I hope Ai gets out of detroit because he still has much more left in him, he could still be playing like he was 25 if he wasnt there. I hope he signs with a different team like toronto raptorz. plus i live in toronto and would pay anything to watch him play.

They always think they can turn it on when they cant and they just cant anymore HENCE trading for AI. And everyones like "oh hes not a team player yadda yaddA" dude averages about 8 assists for his career? Has he even cried about his minutes? last i remember hes been quiet most of his time in detroit while rip was bitching. But no ones complainin about rip. Iversons gonna be the scape goat for the pistons this season when everyone and their mom knew the pistons were on a decline and weren't winning shit anytime soon to being with, no matter if they kept chauncy or not.

You can't be serious. Its a fact that he's better suited to come off the bench than Rip. Worst thing about this is that AI is the PERFECT FIT as a bench acorer. If hed actually embrace that role, the Pistons would be SCARY. @!!!!! – weak west? You can’t be serious. Its a fact that he’s better suited to come off the bench than Rip.

The hell with size and scoring points...Pistons' problem wasn't defense it was offense...It was not grinding through and pulling out the Ws... It is soo easy and LAME to say during wins RIP is the answer to all the Pistons problems...If that was the case why change anything at all?? This is the first streak of the season for the Piston's... Pistons are about effort...RIP gets beat on D as much as anyone, but you ride his nuts like he is lock down performer...Fact is RIP has a repore with the other players...They communicate better and they know where RIP is weak and they no where he will be okay on an island... Don't make it about defensive liabilities...Stuckey is a better defender at guarding 2s than RIP and that is who he guards...Iverson has been the same size his whole career, so I would suggest finding a better argument for keeping him off the floor... The fact of the matter is Dumars made a money move, that had the potential to be a "winning" move it Pistons pre-existing player owned up to their lack of production...Piston's aren't winning a championship this year...They aren't built for it, so trying to make arguments that Rip is a better captain of a sanking ship than Iverson is mute...senseless...Especially when neither is a captain in this scenario...Leaders rally troops, that is not happening...Grandstanding is happening...Proving points is happening... I don't care who starts, but it has to be about Winning first NOW...Not about Rip already having a ring...That is weak...If winning five years ago absolves you of all your personal flaws and contributions to the lack of team when adversity hits, then what's the point of it?? Rip is a great piece, but he doesn't carry the load and never was asked to...He like most players need other guys to play their parts to aid in their success...There are only a precious few players who consistently carried their teams through tough times to Ws...Let's not get legacies twisted...There's one HOF player on the floor night in night out and there is a reason for that...The question is how do you make it all work...That isn't Rip's job or Iverson's...Their job is to not sulk when it's bad and not grandstand when it's good... Playoffs is where it matters...come together or go home... The only one crying over position was RIP…
