They will be fine without Ben Wallace. The half court offense should improve because they can run plays through Mohammad because he does have a decent jump shot. The defense should not struggle because they still have Billups, R. Wallace, and Prince. Those three players were either on an All-NBA defensive team last year or they received votes for it. Hamilton has developed into a good defender also. The one thing they will miss is the energy that Ben Wallace brought, but Lindsey Hunter brings a lot of energy and the other new addition, Flip Murray, he brings a lot of energy and good scoring (around 11 points per game). The Pistons will continue to be a contender for the championship.

I honestly believe that we'll make up for the rebounds with an even better offense this year. Flip Murray on the bench'll help...Anyway, they will rematch the Heat in the Eastern Finals and eventually beat the Suns in the Finals in 6..

Can you say overrated? The guy cant score, cant make free throws and is dominated by bigger, stronger, and taller centers such as Shaq. pistons do have good players left and will make playoffs. championship is out of the question in my opinion. defense wins championships and with flip saunders defense is second on the list.

They will be good, they have so much talent left. They will likely contend for the Eastern Conference Championship and may win to make it back to the Finals. Miami probably will once again be the main competiton.

They will come up short once again. I have a feeling that the finals will finally put Shaq and D-wade up against Kobe...everyone still wants to see it, and I think this is the year it might happen...if it does...Shaq will again get the last laugh.

I think that the rebounds will NEVER be the same! Overall, I am not sure. I have a feeling that they won't be as good!
