Love this trade. Anyone else seeing some similarities to our starting 5 to the Billups' Detroit Pistons that won a chip?
Brunson our steady point guard to amp it up in the clutch; Julius our X factor Rasheed Wallace who argues to the refs too much and takes off on certain plays, but has the ability to kick it up a gear; DiVincenzo our Rip (although the days of mid-range shooting are long gone) who can make offensive plays without needing to dominate the ball; Mitch our defensive anchor and offensive rebounding machine like Ben Wallace -- and just as limited offensively as Ben; and then finally the missing piece that had eluded us, our lockdown wing defender who can guard multiple positions like Tayshaun Prince did. Honestly, as understated as Tayshaun's role was, the Pistons don't win a chip without shutting down all the elite wing players, and we needed the same.
