In 1981-82, the Pistons acquired Bill Laimbeer and Kenny Carr from Cleveland for Phil Hubbard, Paul Mokeski and two picks. Hubbard and Mokeski were decent for Cleveland but Laimbeer was the Pistons starting center for the next ten years, made four All-Star teams, and maxed out at 17.5 ppg and 13.1 rpg.
