Rebuilding the Bad Boys

[Michael Anthony]

As far as foils go, I much prefer Detroit over Cleveland. Games against the Pistons are always a little chippy and there is some real history there. That being said, is Dumars one step away from rebuilding his old '89-'90 squad?

Isiah - Iverson
Dumars -
Aguirre - Hamilton
Edwards - Brown
Laimbeer - Wallace

Johnson - Stuckey
Rodman - Maxiell
Salley - Johnson

Unless he is planning a comeback, Joe D needs to swap Prince for a player comparable to himself before the transformation is complete. Are there any defensive oriented combo guards capable of scoring 15-20 a night available ou there? Is Prince enough to land one?

I don't think you can have the Bad Boys back with AI at point, not as rugged and tough as a defender (yes he get a bunch of steals, but that's only one aspect of D).

And Prince is the backbone of the Pistons, no way can they afford to trade him, he's too valuable and underrated. He's possibly the most consistant player in the last few years on the team.

  You're comparing Edwards to Kwame?

[Michael Anthony]

Yeah, Edwards to Kwame is the weakest link here, but what can you do? Comparing Salley to Kwame would get me banned...

[RebusRankin]

Thomas and Iverson don't really compare, traditional pg versus undersized 2 guard.

[Brickowski]

Jason Maxiell is no Dennis Rodman.
