Blazers/Pistons trade idea
Portland trades:
Raef LaFrentz(expiring contract), #13(and two 2nd rounders), Travis Outlaw, Jarrett Jack, Martell Webster
Pistons trade:
Chauncy Billups
Tayshaun Prince
Why the Pistons do it:
They unload Billups contract, paving the way for Stucky to be the starting PG, in addition, they get Jack, who is a poor man's Billups to back up Stuckey.
They lose Prince, is is a very good all round SF, but get Outlaw and Webster, who can both be explosive scorers and haven't yet reached their potential (either one could turn out to be a real steal). They could also pick up a nice addition at #13.
Why Portland does it:
They get a good veteran PG who's got a few years left in the tank. And kick start what looks like a very promising future. We also thin an overloaded roster, and get the defender at SF that McMillen covets.

Re: Blazers/Pistons trade idea
Maybe, Portland is giving up some nice young talent in return. It's not like Billups or Prince are world beaters.

Billups isn't bad enough to be "dumped", especially since PGs play at a high level well into their 30s.
Prince is a great player who is part of the future for Detroit. He's one of the LEAST likely players to be moved.
And this is clearly a case of Portland fans overvaluing their assets....

Sure we'll take Rip Hamilton as well, but not Rasheed. Portland and Rasheed are not exactly on speaking terms.
Portland trades:
Raef, #13, Travis, Webster, Jack
Pistons trade:
Billups
Hamilton
Prince

Re: Blazers/Pistons trade idea

Re: Blazers/Pistons trade idea

Re: Blazers/Pistons trade idea
sheed must be included in this trade since we need to "pave the way" for walter hermann.

Re: Blazers/Pistons trade idea
Why are Blazers fans having a conversation on the Piston board?
There's no way this happens.

Carmelo

The Detroit Pistons could have drafted Carmelo Anthony in the 2003 NBA Draft, instead going with Darko Milicic.
Now they may try to acquire the star forward of the Denver Nuggets via trade, Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post is reporting.

Re: Carmelo
I'm guessing somewhere along the lines of... EXPENSIVE. This would be interesting. I'm fairly certain that Tayshaun Prince would be involved along with future number ones and this year's number one.
