not likely to happen, Toronto’s got 2 SG that both are better 3 point shooters than Rip.

Besides, I would take Rip over Tay any day, he’s the better leader and the better shooter. On top of that Tay’s not really an elite defender imo, he did not really contain anybody the entire year, just look at the number of people (especially small forwards like Artest, Granger, James) that had huge nights against the pistons

maybe we could trade rip to the raptors and keep tayshaun so we would be: stuckey,gordon, tay, bosh, chandler

I agree, I’m not sure what to do with Rip. He’s a huge asset when he’s fired up, just think of him back when Chauncey went out in the playoffs last year. He picked up his scoring while maintaining a good shooting percentage and took over the role of captain.

We need him to step up and be that captain again.

But the problem is that I think that Ben Gordon’s 3 point shooting is desperately needed. He’ll open up a ton of layups (and hopefully dunks) for Stuckey and can take people off the dribble himself if needed. So its a tough call, but you can’t start both of them.

Rip cannot play SF. I repeat, he cannot play SF.

Drew Sharp is plain dumb. There isn’t a snowballs chance in hell that the Hornets entertain trading Chris Paul.

It’s kinda funny how people are saying that Joe D will have a tough time finding players who will come to Detroit. I don’t think people give enough credit to these players. It’s not always about location. Most of the time it’s about money, but also if you want to win a championship it doesn’t matter if it’s 60 degrees in December. With the Pistons organization, you’re gonna be in a good position to win and have the players around you to do so.

Actually, AI made about $22 million this past season. Just sayin’.

Anyways, I’m really excited for this summer. The Pistons, due to the fact that they are so far under the salary cap & also that the economy is terrible, are in a prime position to drastically make this team better in just one offseason.

It could be trading Rip/Tay for elite players, getting a player for “free” (Camby trade), or signing a bigtime free agent.

Regardless, I’m excited for this summer of change and I really expect half the roster to be different come fall.

don’t waste your breath on Cavs fans, they’re even worse than Boston fans and really have no decency (just look at the number of them that come on posting up or freep just to insult the pistons)
