Everyone always defaults to Melo as the big what-if for the Pistons.
I still believe Wade would have been a better fit and would have changed the trajectory of us for years after that.

You’re right, but Wade was never in the running as a top Pick.

I can’t see RIP deferring to Wade. I mean how would your lineup look?

I love how Billups is never scared to admit that Melo was a selfish player.

He had no choice I think what he’s insinuating he’s going to play as hard on the defensive end as the offensive end. He never made the all defensive team in his career."Now he's gonna get raised right in the game."

I have changed course on this. I used to think it was automatic 2 or 3 chips. But this aint 2K. Pistons were a defensive oriented team team. Would a young Melo had been willing and or able to get in where he fit in? Is he playing the 4 with Tayshaun at the 3? Do they still get Sheed? A lot of questions as to how that all works.

He never made an all defensive team once in his career? Kobe Bryant had 12 selections. Yet when Melo was a Knick he kept saying “Phil needs to come coach us”. Why would he want to coach a player that don’t play defense after he’s coached Michael and Kobe?
Sad to say Melo just wasn’t on that level as a complete player. I think he was an all star but not a superstar.

Thats not too far fetched. We all know he wasnt a defender like that. Even guys who are arent all gonna be top 10 in the league and top 4 at their position. And forward is tough.

Melo wasn't a good perimeter defender, but he was a bull in the post defensively, as well as a great offensive rebounding 3
In the best case scenario he possibly comes off the bench that first year as a super sub. Maybe he makes Rip or Tayshaun expendable the following offseason if he shines in that role and is put in the starting lineup at the 2 or 3 depending on which one they trade. Being around cats like Ben and Chauncey he takes pride in defense and realizes getting stops is just as important as scoring. Again this is the best case scenario in my mind.
