We have this thread on the Pistons board, and I found it interesting.
If you can, build a team of active NBA players IN THEIR PRESENT CONDITION that were on your team at some point, and if you want, explain how you acquired them and under what terms they left the team. Also, for fun, project how well they'd do in your team's conference.
Former Detroiters:
Mike James/Chucky Atkins/Carlos Arroyo
Jerry Stackhouse/Carlos Delfino/James
Grant Hill/Bonzi Wells/Delfino
Mehmet Okur/Darko Milicic/Chris Webber
Ben Wallace/Nazr Mohammed/Chris Webber
I believe this team could make the playoffs in the East as the 6th-8th seed.

In their primes the Hawks would be stacked in the front court with Mutombo, Rasheed, Shareef and Mohammed. The only other former Hawks worth mentioning are Terry, S. Jackson and Harrington. I'm sure I may be forgetting one or two easy ones.
At their current ages any team we put together would suck worse than the current Hawks.

Chauncey Billups/Damn Stoudamire
Vince Carter/Mike James
Tracy McGrady/Mo Pete
Charlie Villanueva/Matt Bonner
Marcus Camby/Matt Bonner
Not much depth, but that's a pretty scary starting line-up; all four were drafted by Toronto, except for Billups (who admittedly sucked during his short time in Toronto).
That looks like a top three team in the East, to me...

Former Detroiters:
Mike James (acquired in Rasheed Wallace deal, unaffordable as a free agent)/Chucky Atkins (traded away to Boston in same deal, acquired along with Ben Wallace in Grant Hill sign and trade)/Carlos Arroyo (acquired for Elden Campbell and a first-round pick)
Jerry Stackhouse (traded to Pistons from Philadelphia, traded away to Washington for Richard Hamilton)/Carlos Delfino (2003 draft, traded to Toronto for peanuts)/James
Grant Hill (drafted 3rd overall, traded after request)/Bonzi Wells (drafted and shortly traded)/Delfino
Mehmet Okur (drafted in second round, couldn't afford to bring back)/Darko Milicic (drafted second overall, traded after request for Rodney Stuckey pick and some decrepit center)/Chris Webber (signed as free agent, never attempted to re-sign)
Ben Wallace/Nazr Mohammed (signed as free agent to replace Ben Wallace, traded to Charlotte for Hermann and Brezec)/Chris Webber
I believe this team could make the playoffs in the East as the 6th-8th seed.

Phoenix(14 man roster):
Jason Kidd/Stephon Marbury/Rajon Rondo/Sam Cassell
Joe Johnson/Michael Finley
Luol Deng/Quentin Richardson/James Jones
Shawn Marion/Tim Thomas
Kurt Thomas/Antonio McDyess/Steven Hunter
Pretty deep team, decent starting lineup, but expensive as hell.
Hrm....anybody think that team(not in their primes, but currently) could make the 8th seed in the West?
