Lets relive the 2003 NBA draft together as a family brehs

nikkas did not want darko we aint know who the fukk he was...dont forget pistons already had a squad, we felt like we could groom him but it wasnt like nikkas was dying to get no damn darko milic

i wanted bosh or melo

You may want to whoop that guy on 5:56 mark on the video I posted, then.

They had a three for the next decade tho in tayshaun thats why they aint pick melo. Honesly Melo, wade and bosh would have gotten no burn in detroit cause thier coach was larry brown. Brown wouldn't even play them in the olympics in 04. Probably better they didn't go to detroit. Melo would have a chip but it wouldn't mean shyt if you on the end of the bench for real

Everyone and their mama knew Melo was a future 20 ppg scorer in the NBA while Prince was considered a role player with good defense. Having Prince shouldn't have stopped them from taking Melo.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Dumbest move the pistons could've ever made. Having Melo on the squad would've made the team better as the years moved forward and it would've given Lebron that rivalry opponent that he never really got from his peers.

Larry Brown would've shanked Melo in the shower

All that 3 point loving, no defense playing, ballhog shyt.. LB would've had him sitting under the damn bench.

I remember we took Wade at 5 and everyone was saying we took him too early

I don't want to relive it :mjcrypistons:

Y'all flopped on that draft

 

[Sauce Dab]

Crazy at the 4:40 mark he mentions how the east doesn't have powerhouse centers. 10+yrs later it's still the same

Who are the powerhouse centers in the NBA in your opinion?

Jermaine O'neal and Kenyon Martin

1. Prince was a role player coming off a rookie season where he wasn't even a starter.
2. Larry Brown only coached the Pistons for 2 years. He was gone by summer 2005.

All that 3 point loving, no defense playing, ballhog shyt.. LB would've had him sitting under the damn bench.

Or the vets on the Pistons would have molded him and he would have been a good defender who played team ball instead of that iso shyt. Why folks don't go with that narrative? Melo was far to talented for Larry Brown to just stick him on the bench for 82 games. The fans would have revolted if that was the case.

Miss me with that no defense ball hogging three point shyt. He was a 19 yr old coming off a national championship and final four mvp. Do I think a better organization with veterans would have molded Melo into a better all around player yea but he coulda got benched his first and second year and lost all confidence like darko.

Melo would have looked like Lenny Cooke by the end of that deal, all fat and doughy on the bench due to inactivity.

The Pistons won a ring and routinely went to the ECF and 2 finals. What revolt would have come?


And not for nothing, Melo being trash defensively has nothing to do with lack of veteran presence in his career. He has had that.

With Melo they could have had a dynasty and won even more rings.

I don't recall ai riding the pine Melo would've did great in Detroit an all time great defense to cover his flaws on that end a tough coach who knows how to win and a deep veteran team to help him mature..Melos numbers wouldn't have been as big but they would've been much more impactful we'd probably hold him in higher regards and could you imagine cacs v pistons,lbj v Melo year in year out in the conference finals.
