    His trade success was insane for a while there. Ben Wallace, Rip, and Sheed. Unbelievable looking back.

    EDIT: Oh yeah and Mike JAmes was huge!

      One of the best trades in NBA history right there -

      Pistons Acquire Forward/Center Rasheed Wallace From Hawks And Guard Mike James From Boston In Three-Way Deal
      http://www.nba.com/pistons/news/rwallace_040219.html
      AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – February 19, 2004 - The Detroit Pistons have acquired forward/center Rasheed Wallace from the Atlanta Hawks and guard Mike James from the Boston Celtics as part of a three-way deal that sends guards Chucky Atkins and Lindsey Hunter to Boston and guard Bobby Sura , center


      Pistons did loose white MJ though. That was a tough loss to stomach.

        The Hawks put a 60-win team together out of thin air because they spent their money way better in free agency. They were the #8 a seed a year ago and jumped to #1 this year with some mid level signings and better health.
        Exactly

        You could arguably name 15 - 20 players taken before him that he is better than.

        As far as we know GS could have had him rated #10 in that draft.

          That Sheed deal was highway robbery. Although, that pick the Hawks got from us did turn into Josh Smith. Now we all know he's a bum, but he was pretty electric in his younger days.

            The best part of the deal was we picked up Hunter directly after he was waived. That was just awesome.

                Joel Embiid's fat ass is about to lose yet another season to surgery. I'm guessing the extra weight he put on didn't help his broken foot....

                I'm also totally certain Sam Hinkie's culture of "striving for lottery balls" really encouraged this teenage millionaire to rehab hard and get himself in playing shape for a team that was actively NOT trying to win games...

                Sam Hinkie is such a genius. If only we were all as smart as he is. He's like the Matt Millen of the NBA, except he's being this bad on purpose....

                  So Millen wasn't? <sac> lol

                  Huh, imagine if he tried. Millen just picked the wrong sport to manage.

                    Pistons' Stanley Johnson backing up his talk - so far

                    Detroit's first-round pick is exuding confidence and playing well, but there's plenty of work to be done

                      The Pistons acquire Old Man Blake to be a insurance backup PG

                      Pistons acquire Steve Blake for insurance at point

                      Pistons ship Quincy Miller to Nets for Blake, which means team could carry four point guards into 2015-16 season

                        He can still play. I watched him a few times last year. Good insurance for Jennings and way better option than Dinwiddie, who basically sucks.

                          Blake is shit. Id rather trade for Ridnour and set the most times traded in the offseason award for a player. Jennings must not be ready to make a move like this when we need PF.

                            You don't have to trade for Ridnour anymore, he's free.

                              We don't really need a PF. We have two and several guys that can slide over from PF or C in emergencies.

                              And Blake is not worse than Luke Ridnour.
