On top of that terry would give us a hell of a sixth man in terry. personally i like 3 all it needs is afew tweaks.How about this tay sheed and our first rounder for terry jo dampier and a future second round pick this gives stuckey at least one more year to learn from an all star in billups you get a true big man in dampier and we dont even need to explain jo.

I guarantee you that if Chauncey goes then it will be a cold day in hell before the Pistons make it back the the Eastern finals, let alone the NBA finals. Mark my words.

I like the Elton Brand scenario and I hope it pushes through. Brand is the low post threat that they need and also the defensive presence that they have sorely missed since Ben Wallace went to the Bulls.

Why work something out involving Billups to Miami for the #2 pick and Wallace for a young big? That said, I like scenarios #2 and #5, but Joe D would be foolish to get rid of Hamilton.

We need a low post presence AND a rebounder in the same body. Sheed is (sometimes) a low post presence, but not a rebounder. Chandler is never a low post presence but certainly a great rebounder. The trade with the Bucks I don't like, either. Andrew Bogut is soft and will never be better than he is right now. He would be disliked in Detroit. The Clippers trade is OK. Maggette is definitely a slasher we need, and Brand is a stud when healthy. That still doesn't give us a Center, though. I'd like to try and package something to get Kaman over here as well. Maybe Maxiell. It's also been rumored that Amir has grown to 6'11" this year, so he can play Center. Can you imagine? PG - Stuckey SG - Rip/Afflalo SF - Tay/Maggette PF - Brand/McDyess C - Kaman/Amir/Samb? I would like #5 if we could get a PF that could score.

Chandler plays with the intensity and energy that we're always lacking. When we lost Ben to Chicago, I thought he would be the perfect replacement. Instead NO got him for J.R. Smith (who was promptly cut) and P.J. Brown and we did a mid-level for Nazr. Yeah...NO won out of that group. I like number 5. Chandler plays with the intensity and energy that we’re always lacking.

Then we could trade Maxiell (whose trade value will not likely ever be higher) for another big if possible. I dont want to break up Chaunce and Rip just yet, though the sentiment seems to be growing that this will indeed happen. 2 has some intrigue as well, becuz getting Brand would be huge, but losing Chaunce who has been face of the franchise since Ben left would hurt.
