Yeah but you know what Richard… Chauncey is probably a bit salty and mad. He is going hope but he knows Joe D gave up on him.

we’re all pistons fans i was just shocked by the news and i expected a thanks from chauncey

Ryan here is a quote
“coming back home to Denver, it’s sort of like coming full circle for him.”
Okay maybe I was kinda wrong but he definitley didn’t say anything that makes me think he gives detroit a second though after the trade went down so I probably exaggerated it a little, sorry.

Its official Iverson is wearing Number 1

By: John

John — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:11:54 +0000

Iverson should wear the 2-3 like Jordan.

Do you know how sweet that Jersey would be.

Iverson
#23

I don’t know about that, since it’d be like he’s saying he’s Chauncey…or something like that.

What bout something like #6 or #7?

By: Mike Watson

Mike Watson — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:12:20 +0000

Oh yeah Ryan I forgot about that… Well how bout one of em takin #1 since Chaunce is outta town now?

By: Ryan

Ryan — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:41:08 +0000

Chuck Daly’s got the ole’ #2 retired, otherwise that’d be a cool one to see anyone in.

I’d like to see Stuckey keep the #3 personally, and have Iverson take another number.

@ Catharine:

We Talkin’ Bout Practice

“Its easy to talk about, its easy to sum it up when you just talk about practice. We sittin’ in here, I’m supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talkin’ about practice. I mean listen, we talkin bout practice. Not a game, not a game, not a game. We talkin bout practice. Not a game, not a, not a, not the game that I go out there and die for, and play every game like its my last. Not the game. We talkin’ bout practice, man. I mean how silly is that? We talkin’ bout practice. I know I’m supposed to be there, I know I’m supposed to lead by example. I know that, and I’m not shovin’ it aside, you know, like it don’t mean anything. I know its important, I do. I honestly do. But we talkin’ bout practice, man. What are we talkin’ bout? Practice? We talkin’ bout practice man. We talk… We talkin’ bout practice. We talkin’ bout practice. We ain’t talkin’ bout the game, we talkin’ bout practice, man. When you come into the arena, and you see me play, you see me play, don’t you? You see me give everything I got, right? But we talkin’ bout practice right now. We talkin’ bout practice. (crowd laughs) Man look, I hear you, its funny to me too. I mean, its strange, its strange to me too. But we talkin’ bout practice man. We not even talkin’ bout the game, the actual game, when it matters. We talkin’ bout practice.”

I think he is already showing respect by wearing the Number 3. Iverson knows he is only gonna be here for a little bit, just pick another number.

He could wear 23!

An oh yeah RIP CITY BABY!!!! YESSIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

By: Mike Watson

Mike Watson — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:59:21 +0000

Yeah AI is a future Hall of famer…Stuck is in his second year. If he gave up his number it would show alotta pride and respect for Iverson and would say alot about the young Stuckey.

Besides Stuckey can make a new number that has never been worn by a great PISTON hot like number 2 or somethin. Been already had 3 before him.

He’s good enuf to make his own legacy.

By: Steve

Steve — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:50:04 +0000

Apparently Stuckey is going to talk it over w/ him.

I think Stuck gives up his jersey. I mean, it’s Iverson!!

I think Stuckey should keep the Number 3.

Iverson is a little guy. He needs to wear a single digit jersey.

By: Catharine

Catharine — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 03:14:41 +0000

I guess I’m ok with the trade, just a little shocked still. I’m reserving my judgement until I’ve seen a few games.
As long as he listens to MC, plays well with Rip, Sheed, Tay, and the kids, and comes to practice (I’m surprised no one has mentioned this yet), I’ll be happy. Oh, and he better help us to a championship, or he’s traded.

By: Ryan

Ryan — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 02:41:12 +0000

Maybe Iverson will wear #33?

By: Ryan

Ryan — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 02:37:46 +0000

I wasn’t saying anyone here is like the people on ESPN’s boards, that wasn’t my intent if that’s the way it was taken. I was just saying that, after going to those boards, that’s the conclusion I’ve come to. (Though I’ve come to that conclusion many moons ago, and should’ve never clicked that board, haha.) If it was taken that I was comparing anyone here to the likeness I described, please realize that wasn’t my intent at all.

By: Steve

Steve — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:28:00 +0000

What number is Iverson going to wear?
He’s always worn #3, but that’s what Stuckey wears.

By: John W. Davis

John W. Davis — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:49:46 +0000

Young Ryan lol leave Lil Richard alone!

Chauncey is gone, that’s all that matters!

By: John W. Davis

John W. Davis — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:48:12 +0000

Rip just got signed to a 3 year extension!

Im so excited!

By: Ryan

Ryan — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:41:09 +0000

Overall, it’s going to be a trade of Samb and Billups for Iverson (and half of McDyess’ contract to the Nuggets).

McDyess should be back.

If you want a room full of people who have no NBA knowledge and just like to shout things, insult people, and think they’re right 110% of the time, go to ESPN’s boards, lol.

By: Ryan

Ryan — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:31:20 +0000

Richard: I’m asking, do you have any sources of any of this?

Because in the summer, Joe talked with Chauncey, and Chauncey said he wanted to be a Piston.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:21:33 +0000

Pistons give Rip 3 year extension worth over $30 million.

Busy day for Joe D.

I like this trade a lot. Sheed and AI are fiery - they give us that edge we need and I think AI will be able to give up the me-first for team-first philosophy that’s required to get us a ring. He also provides us with the go-to scorer when we have one of those dry spells and in the 4th as C-Bills wasn’t fulfilling that role as we may have wanted him to. What I really like is that this gets us back to our Bad Boy roots and that there will be a menacing edge back in the Palace. I am optimistic.

Chuancey doesn’t care cause in the summer he wanted to be traded to denver but the pistons couldn’t get a deal done but now that it happened he said that he was happy to be going home and that he wasn’t opposed to being traded. He didn’t say anything and he didn’t even thank detroit for the oppurtunity that we gave him.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 22:05:19 +0000

OK, maybe not Lebron….but a superstar for sure!!

By: Ryan

Ryan — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:58:13 +0000

Where does it say anywhere that Chauncey doesn’t care?

By: Richard

Richard — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:47:42 +0000

Yessir this is such a sweet trade, chauncey doesn’t even care that he was traded i guess that just shows how much he cares.
