Iverson Trade is Good for the Pistons?
I say yes. With Rip and Iverson and Stuckey coming off bench, teams will be chasing shadows all day. Just think of Barry Sanders and what he did to defenders, they where clasping for air and tackling shadows all day. Teams focus on Barry Sanders all day long and still had great numbers. With the Pistons different story, The Whole team can play, top to bottom, all 12 or so are good to almost great. All 12 players. Everyone knows about RIP, RIP makes everyone chases him around the court, just image Iverson in the mix. By Halftime, the oppenent players will be exhausted. The other team will barely score any points, with speed and pressure from those three guards. Just think of the Piston when Sheed trade happen. The last 25 games or so, teams where scoring less than 65 points a game on per game in the NBA against the Pistons with the Sheed trade. Wallace and Wallace and Tayshaun where blocking every shot and Mike James and Lindsey Hunter where pressuring the ball so much that teams could not even get across half court. I remember Detroit make a some teams have several half court violations since the other team could not get the ball across within 10 seconds. As a general rule, history always repeats itself.
This could be a blunder or a gem.
I believe Iverson cannot play his typical antics in Detroit. You got stong and focused all star players like RIP, Sheed, maybe soon to be Prince maybe. Iverson will be forced to play by the rules or Joe Dumars will throw him out like a ragdoll.
