So the more I think about this the more I like the deal from the Pistons side.

McNeese State is dominating the General Managers of the NBA.

i don't know about "Dominating" (1 title), but he made a good move today

it's still not on the level of his trade for sheed, but it's good

the pistons have shown that character and a bad reputation is overrated when trying to nix deals

Nice move. Forward thinking but we'll see how it shakes out.

Dumars is the guy who drafted Darko instead of Melo/Bosh/Wade and that probably cost them a title or two. I just like using the phrases "McNeese State" and "domination" in the same sentence.

with larry brown? naw

wade wasn't starting over rip or billups

bosh MAY have gotten time backing up sheed/mcdyess, but only if he bulked up like larry would have made him

melo didn't play D

He starts from 2004 on.

McDyess doesn't see the floor, Sheed and Bosh play together. (At least part of the time.)

Very true. Pistons have enough to cover this and take his 25/7/5 or whatever he is going to give them.

The thought of Wade being on these teams the last few years is frightening.

ETA: Melo on a LB team has me chuckling.

not unless bosh got to 230-250

brown made darko bulk up before he saw the floor, and it killed his game

you think larry brown gives a shite about this?

this is the same brown who refused to play melo and lebron on the national team AFTER they were established

Good point about Brown on team USA.

Melo/Brown would defintely clash. Thankfully he has the best bud in the league. Maybe Stephen Jackson aka Stack Jack.

ETA, Flip would have loved coaching Melo.

melo would have had his boys from the baumer take out brown if he were stuck under him

Brown actually wanted Melo, Joe D wanted Darko
