Chauncey Billups says the Pistons would’ve have won three chips with Melo #detroitpistons #nba

[jeromeramirez]

Probably would’ve been better to take Dwade since he was the second best player out of that draft. Him playing w those boys would have been crazy

[Bskerzero]

I don't know about 3 chips. Rasheed Wallace was a better fit at the time than Melo was.

[Cujobob]

Melo didn’t play defense and Rasheed was absolutely needed, so maybe that trade doesn’t get made.

Could Melo have been a better defender with the right system and emphasis on it early? Maybe, but we have no way of knowing that for certain. The Pistons were a dominant defensive team. Every guy played defense.

Probably wouldn't have got Sheed. They would have been seen as the "same" type of player

[warriorsfamilysquad]

It would be nice to have Allen iverson and Carmelo Anthony in the Detroit pistons team with Chauncey Billups Rasheed Wallace Richard Hamilton Ben Wallace and Tayshaun prince

[psykomystro]

Sheed was the final piece needed to put them in contention. If they get Melo would they still be able to get Sheed?

[juanio]

If they had Rasheed and melo came off the bench the first few years then yes they would have won 2b2 but as a starter he was a ball stopper

[patG]

I hate pistons abd i thought they were getting him and that team was already stacked

DETROIT RUIN MELO LEGACY by drafting Darco

[Taralets-ky]

If melo got drafted to Detroit... For sure no Rasheed in Detroit and for sure Detroit can't win against Lakers.. I'm Detroit fan and I'm just practical here

[Megahustlard]

That's not what they were saying at the 04 parade.

Billups and the Pistons were yelling Melo, Who?

Billups can try and rewrite Pistons history if he wants, too.

They should've won two as it was. More if Larry Brown knew how to develop Darko Milicic.
