Next Season's Roster

by SteveKays on Apr 22, 2009 2:40 PM EDT

Pistons fans, what do you think of this trade: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=d67geb. And then trading Amir, Kwame, Maxiell for Emaka Okafor. And then signing Carlos Boozer or Paul Millsap (depending if Boozer opts out or not).

So it'd be Stuckey, Rip, G. Wallace, Boozer/Millsap, Okafor.

Bench: Bynum, Afflalo, Herrmann, McDyess.

Good right?

I mean, if we can get Bosh, then great, but I'm not so sure about that....

Without thinking twice

I’d do that trade, but I don’t know if Charlotte would. It might help that Larry Brown is in Charlotte.

I agree

I agree that the Larry Brown factor would probably help.

Either way, I want either G. Wallace/Artest and Millsap/Boozer and Bosh/Okafar.

Not sure if Okafar is available, but the dude’s averaged a double-double his whole career. All the guys that are being mentioned, like Bosh, Amare, Boozer, Lee, none of them are centers, which is what we desperately need.

You had me...

until you said Artest. NO WAY he ever plays in Detroit. Interesting idea, but NO WAY

I know that everyone would initially hate this because of what happened earlier, but I really think he plays a Piston style of basketball. He is one of the best defenders in the league and also one of the hardest players. I really believe that after a couple home games with him in uniform the town would warm to him.

I disagree

Artest plays Piston basketball, but Joe D would never bring Artest to Detroit after what happened.

Artest

True, Artest was involved in a little scuffle at the Palace a few years ago. But the Pistons need someone who can at least somewhat slow down LeBron and Pierce. Tayshaun just can’t do it. I know he’s somewhat hurt, but come one, getting outscored 67-6 by LeBron?!

Artest, while somewhat of a nutcase, would be a good pickup I believe. He’s still only 29, he’s big enough to bother LeBron, can play 3 positions, is a very physical defender (think a younger Ben). Plus he’d be cheap, like $7-8 million a year.
