Here's what you're forgetting. The Pistons almost made the finals last year... Almost.
They did not get better during the off season. Why? Because they wasted a draft pic on a guy they hope will pan out. They needed a guy who would put them over the top. They had that chance, and blew it. The Nuggets picked up a lot of players in the off season, and along with Melo they have become a really good team. Do you think if the Nuggets and Pistons switched from West to East and East to West respectively that the Pistons would be the team with a better record? I think not. Unfortunately, we'll never know.
While we're talking about guys who can't play D..... Rip Hamilton!
And right now Melo has better stats than him. Just think if the Pistons had Chauncey, Rip, and Melo in the starting line up. Melo is twice as good as Tayshaun. The reason the Pistons don't have a chance to win it all is because they don't have enough guys who can score.
Wallace guarding the middle makes Rip and Prince look better than what they are on D.
In a couple of years they could lose guys to free agency, If you have a chance to get better you have to do it now.
