Ruff, I'm going to be honest you seem to be more of a proponent of change in general than one trade in particular. Trade this on the draft day, trade Rip, allow Maxiell to walk... etc. You seem pretty set on the fact that the Pistons as they are are not good enough. Kind of depressing I'm going to be honest: I love where we are.

Rip Hamilton isn't our primary playmaker. He may be a leading scorer, but he does what he needs to do very well. He shoots a high percentage, works without the ball, plays defense... you can't ask much more of him. If teams were catching on to his game he wouldn't be averaging 49% from the field, 44% from beyond the arc. He's doing very well right now.

Watch Stuckey carefully and you'll see that his true value as a slasher comes when Billups is off the floor and he can take over as the primary ballhandler. When he is on the floor with Billups he isn't nearly as good at running without the ball as Rip is.
