    Chauncey Billups WAS the switch.

    I think he saw all the starters in the same way.

    But of the big 4, CB has the longest contract and the most accomplished backup. I'm actually surprised none of us called this trade as it makes so much financial sense.

    My only real problem is that I'm not one of those people who are convinced that we didn't have a chance to win it all this year. I actually thought we had our best chance since '05 with the powerhouse bench and big 4 looking to redeem themselves. I guess Dumars saw it differently and I'll trust that he has his reasons.

    The days of "if it ain't rough, it ain't right" may be over.

    Guys guys, those who said we are f##ed should really calm down. We are not losing much and if McDyess were to opted out then the Pistons can still get him back in 30 days. Billups has been very flacky lately and during the Eastern Conference for the past three years. I really never digged Billups anyway. I however loves AI so I am bias.

    That was last year,,,this is this year. Dyess looks a step slower and is still in Jump shot heaven. His minutes will ahve to drop significantly and Amir has got to get his timing down. Thank u, Dyess for the efforts but like i said before...Dyess = 0 rings.

    We're only 2 games into the season. Dyess always starts off slow.

    AI, Amir = 0 rings too.


    How is it not a coup to get him back for the vet's minimum?

    At the very least, he's insurance against an injury.

    Herrrrrman's help D graded out pretty well in my film study last night.

    I'm worried I might have to sup up my frame by frame in order to keep up with AI.

    I can't wait until the first time Sheed & AI team up to go after a ref.

    Sorry for the response guys, I was caught up in the situation and didn't analyze it carefully.

    If we do get Dyess back this will be a good deal, let's just hope Iverson can get into the Pistons system asap.

    I'm still ticked off that we gave up Samb. I thought he could drain it from way downtown. Now Denver is sitting pretty with the center of the future.

    Oh yeah, the whining to the refs may hit the tipping point now.


    Now Samb can tell his friends back home that he was traded for AI without lying.

    Yeah, hi did hit that famous three, just like another legend, Will Blalock, did before. This is the stuff that people will remember forever. (at least on this forum)

    I seriously love that we have a chance at Chris Bosh, Wade, Kobe, Boozer, and LeBron now.
