The Pistons have a BETTER shot of making the NBA FINALS than the Denver Nuggets have of MAKING THE PLAYOFFS....
...THOSE are "just the facts".
But the Pistons have a better shot that Denver making the playoff .... regardless.
Doesn't matter in Detroit which player they have, they will more than likely make the playoffs with either of them...
Personally, I think they are alot better with Billups ...
They will go farther with Billups than Iverson when the playoff come around in July.
They are FACTS....you are SO MUCH into "history repeating itself".....compare "history" between the two and then come back to me.
AND you MUST read tarot cards for a living because you THINK you have read my mind and THINK I hope that the Nuggets make or don't make the playoffs. Truth be told I could care less about the Nuggets and being a LONG TIME Pistons hater...that needs no explination, but FACTS ARE....the Pistons are a threat to not only reach the NBA finals, but win the whole damn thing. Denver is not.....

Not a fair comparison. Even before the trade, that same statement could be made. IMO, this trade won't make a dramatic difference for either team.
I think they will score more points per game. Denver will improve because they pick-up a top of the line point guard miles better than what they had before. BUT it does not address they problems they had rebounding and scoring from the 2 and 4 spot.
Aldridge, Blazers drop Pistons to 6-6 with Iverson in lineup
[ame="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=281130008"]Portland Trail Blazers vs. Detroit Pistons - Recap - November 30, 2008 - ESPN[/ame]
The Detroit Pistons are starting to look like the Detroit Lions -- they're always a wreck on Sunday.
For the fourth Sunday in a row, the Pistons played like their hapless NFL counterparts, losing 96-85 to the Portland Trail Blazers.
I still feel the Piston's got the short end of the stick on the Iverson-Billups trade.

To be fair, losing to Portland isn't a big deal.
No...but see, because of the fact that NO ONE like Iverson and because EVERYONE likes Billups, they expect perfection.

Not perfection, just the improvement you've been touting ever since the trade. As you said, they brought in a league MVP to replace Billups, who should be able to improve on the 15-5 playoff series record the Pistons were able to manage with Billups at the point.
Still too early to evaluate fairly, but early indications are not so good.
Don't worry, they cleared a lot of cap space with this deal...
Sandra
That is my origin quote and I have not differed from it. I have never touted improvement....YOU on the other hand expect more because of your dislike of Iverson("Allen Iverson does not make his teammates, or his team, any better than Chauncey Billups does. Probably worse, actually.") and your love for Billups("I suppose I'm just not understanding the lack of love for Chauncey Billups, who was always one of my favorite players").
I stand by those statements. I do not see the Pistons improving on the playoff record they had with Billups at point guard. Even if Iverson is able to make it to the rest of the practices.
Sandra
All this talk is for the birds. Let me set the record straight once and for all.....
With Iverson or with Billups, doesn't matter. The Pistons will STILL get ousted by the better teams in the Eastern Conference before it's all said and done. Ie: Cavaliers or Celtics (whichever they have the privilege of facing first in the playoffs.)

This trade is getting so much attention on this site, it's ridiculous.
It's the SatelliteGuys equivalent of when Eric Dickerson or Herschel Walker got traded.

I know Sabres! Craziness! Over 1,500 vies so far between the two threads!
Maybe people are wanting for the "insulting remark"...... I think the discussion has been relatively civil.
