Its Really A Shame The Pistons Seleceted Millicic Over Melo

[Dwight Howard]

Billups
Hamilton
Melo
Rasheed Wallace (assuming they trade for him still)
Ben Wallace

Prince

that lineup wouldve been a problem for years. and Melo/Bron would be a legit rivalry. Melo would probably have multiple rings by now, and the narrative would be different.

Very true post

Pistons never win shyt without sheed they wouldn’t of traded for him with melo

Would of fueled with coach brown and been a cancer

the decision to draft some no name ass bum from europe is so stupid it makes you wonder how these things operate

like maybe these gm's all sit together and pick who choose what kind of players, shyt is like wwe raw dumb shyt level

one guy is incredible talent on offense and a ncaa champion, the other one is slow ass robotic no name cac from serbiakistan of soviet russia

why not? they still had a hole at PF and had the assets to get him.

Those veteran players wouldn't have allowed melo to do that.

if not for kobe, denver wouldve been in the 2009 finals and possibly wouldve beaten that magic team in the finals. prime melo wasnt the loser he was made out to be

 

[Damnshow]

whats so funny about it? melo might have been a 2004 and 2005 champion. Pistons really needed another legit star level help on offense besides billups.

2009 Melo was amazing

He was a problem!

Larry Brown would have had Carmelo on the bench all season.

His career would probably have been worse coming up under that a$$hole.

So we're just going to ignore how poorly Melo played in the final 4 games in 09?

23/3/3 on 31FG%

Melo was getting shut down by Luke Walton. He got shut down by him in the 08 playoffs too.

melo would not of been playing PF in 2003 as a rookie

pistons probably 3 peat right out the gate in 04-05-06. They make the finals again in 07 and face the spurs, series goes either way, in 08 vs boston series goes either way.

2009 they definitely beat orlando then the lakers and in 2010 it's a tossup between them and the lakers.

 

[GreatestLaker]

He was a problem!

Game 2 - 12 for 29
Game 3 - 4 for 13
Game 4 - 3 for 16
game 5 - 9 for 23
game 6 - 6 for 17

We got to stop with all this revisionist history when it comes to Melo. Outside of game 1 and some parts of game 2 he struggled in that series.
