With the 2nd Pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, The Detroit Pistons Select.........

Forget that injury bullshyt, you sound like bytches. No one brings up Zeke in 88, but mention Magic in 89.

But If anything thats why I dont hate the heat...I take solace in knowing the league didn't get what they wanted 2 years in a row because of the Pistons.

If they picked Melo, Melo wouldn't be the same Melo he is now.

He'd still be the great scorer, but he'd be less like Kobe and more like LeBron

How's that a bad thing?

I never said it was a bad thing.

No ones thinking about the 20th pick in the draft this early fam.

Bullshyt.

That 05 ECF win @ Miami was one of the GOAT Piston moments.

Shaq and Wade not getting shyt that year was glorious.

"and like a piston, tossed the heat" -

Beginning of the end? :cwebbdahell:
They won the title that year and went to the finals the following year.
The real argument should always be Chris Bosh > Darko anyway. Either way, Melo or Bosh would have left to go follow Bron Bron.
Sheed trade may have never happened and Detroit would be no different than the Hawks...no ring.

I say this all the time
Never would have Sheed.
Rip or Tay get traded eventually
So Joe making one the worst picks ever paid off in the end

cosign all of this except the idea of melo following lebron.

and i hate when dumars gets criticized for this. people forget how hyped darko was. if denver had the #2 pick, they prolly wouldve took darko as well.
