Come on man the pistons not picking Melo in tye draft that year was one of the biggest mistakes the pistons franchise ever made and any/every piston fan will tell you that. Also Billups wouldn't have been of been able to get through to anyone with passive agressive pringles as Head Coach.
Melo is a ball hog obviously but he wasn't nor is he the knicks biggest problem.
Get it right....it was who the Piston selected that pissed off the Pistons fans. The Pistons won the Championship Title that season by trading for a playoff experience F/C Bigman (Rasheed Wallace). In other words Bosh shouldve been the Pistons selection.
G.M. Layden were on the urge of trading McDyess for Rasheed Wallace to go with Mutombo/Doleac/and Kurt Thomas in our frontcourt. The trade was delayed bc the JailBlazers wanted Charlie Ward too, which $100M Allan Houston (buddy to Ward) wasnt having. So owner Dolan Fired Layden in Layden's best year as a GM. As if Layden was the one who force the trade of Ewing For Glen Rice, or the trade of Camby & Nene to Denver for a no-show Mcdyess.
P.S. Mcdyess was the Knicks biggest problem in the past, as well as Iso-Melo is the biggest problem of our future.
