Who should the Pistons trade or acquire?

Question

Who should stay, go, or come and why.

Answer 1

if they could package a deal with sheed and one of their back up guards for garnett resign big ben they would have the best guards and front court

Answer 2

Some may say Flip. I'd say "Who's gonna coach?"; likely Brown if he can patch things up with Joe, but that'll happen when Shaq wins another ring with the Heat: NEVER.

So, you have the Wallaces. One of them should go. I'd opt for Rasheed leaving, because you can get more value for him as he's an offensive threat (Wallace isn't).

As a Laker supporter, I'd take Sheed b/c he has heart, and we can unload Odom, who is a great facilitator and slasher, but disappears too often when it counts and it just seems there's no energy there when it's needed.

That being said, Joe can probably trade Big Ben to the Heat who need him now that 'Zo's got his ring and his headed home. I'd ask for draft picks, because without 'Zo and GP, and with a now fat and contented Shaq and 'Toine mailing it in next year, and perhaps a Riley-less bench in Miami, they'll fall out of playoff contention quickly. The draft pick would be worth more than any player the Heat would offer up.

Conversely, if you trade Rip and move Tayshaun into a more prominent role, you still have a powerful front court and two scorers and you can then add a true big man upfront (who is another question).

Pistons problems are a matter of heart (like many teams). Wade carried a fat and really untalented team on his back, due to pure adrenaline and will. Kobe did the same with a pathetic Lakers team this year. Pistons need that ONE GUY who lights a fire under everyone, commands the team's respect and gets through the things that implode other teams. That's the kind of player I'd trade for. Where is he? Seattle: Ray Allen. Boston: Paul Pierce. Atlanta: Joe Johnson (maybe). Or, dare I say it, A.I. He wants a ring, and he brings instant attention when he's on the court (freeing up others to rain jumpers or easy dunks inside). If Flip could deal with Marbury and Spreewell, A.I. is a walk in the park. I'd do that deal tomorrow.

Answer 3

no 1

Answer 4

Rasheed Wallace should go. Ben Wallace needs to grow a few more inches, no, not just in his afro. 6'7" does not cut it anymore. They need to trade Sheed for another big man who will play with heart like Ben does.

Answer 5

The coach is the first to go. They had a better team this year; yet, they lost.

Answer 6

I AGREE WITH LL COOL J, THEY NEED A NEW COACH FLIP SAUNDERS DON'T GIVE THEM ANY MOTIVATIONAL AND
HE DON'T BE AGGRESSIVE TOWARD HIS TEAM, GET LARRY BROWN BACK SO THEY COULD WIN BACK CHAMPIONSHIPLIKE THEY DID ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO,
BROWN IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE KNICKS AND THE PISTONS ARE NOT HAPPY WITH SAUNDERS

Answer 7

Answer 8

Keep the players, get a new coach.
