	Camby: I have watched pretty much every game Marcus Camby has played for the Nuggets, overrated? More like he has been ( especially over the last couple of years ) our best player on the floor. He doesn't just block shots. I'd say of our whole team I would like to see him leave the least. So, yea, don't trade Camby, leave him here - he is liked by the fans and plays with heart. Why in the world would we trade Camby for Prince when we have Melo at Small Forward? Melo: The deal for Melo is gone, the talk here is that Denver doesn't want a Prince / Billups for Melo deal, they countered with AI instead but the Pistons didn't bite. There has been a lot of rumors about Melo, but rest assured - he is now staying with the Powder Blues and not going anywhere. ( I was starting to like the Billups / Prince trade ) Baron: The difference that I see is that Billups is more of the glue that holds the Pistons together and Baron is more of a Star that can dominate a game. Like comparing Kobe with Pierce. Yea, the Warriors need more defense, but getting rid of Baron Davis would be a mistake for them. Just as the Mavericks what Baron can do. If you do take him, you better hope he stays happy, because ask the Hornets what happens when he's not, he can be a huge cancer in the locker room. nuggets, best one ive read all day...great post...some wont agree with you but i think you said everything perfectly here

	Baron was probably the 2nd best PG in league this past season. He played all 82 just to prove to the fans and media that he's not injury prone. Billups is a good player but he couldn't fill BD shoes. He doesn't have the game or the personality. I would trade Al for Sheed. If the Warriors could add Sheed and not have to give up Monta, Baron, Jackson, or Andris...I think that they would have a shot at winning the Pacific.

	Do people here not understand that after six years, with only one ship to show, there needs to be some kind of shake up? Baron Davis is HUNGRY, Chauncy Billups is comfortable. The Pistons need to get out in the open court more to score easy baskets. Someone already said Rasheed is not going to run at all, and they were 100% correct. All he is going to do is walk down and spot up at the 3 point line. The Pistons have a new coach, up and coming young guns, and they need some type of new blood injected into the team. I am the biggest Rasheed Wallace supporter there is but truth be told, the zebras dont like him. He cant touch a guy on the fingernail without hearing a whistle. I dont mind his temper at all because most of the time when he is crying unfair, he is absolutely right about the call. The refs are biased against him and it is a detriment to the team. I will miss his defense but that will be a small price to pay. For you people who would not be scared of this squad led by B-diddy imagine how much better Tayshaun and Rip's game would be if our offense was a little faster, not to mention Stuckey and Maxiell.

	For starters, Baron Davis is significantly better than Billups. Billups will find a similar thing Ben Wallace found when he left the Pistons, the team makeup helped him alot. The Pistons window for success is closing, they are not going to win a championship next year with this team as is. Why not get something for these guys while we can? What are we getting with a Davis trade? The greatest thing we could ask for is all! We are getting an all-star quality point guard for one season while Stuckey progresses. Then, we get 17.6 million in cap relief! So, Stuckey make natural progression, we sign a superstar next year, and the only thing it costs us is two aging guys that have already shown they can't get it done. If this trade is a possibility, you can bet the bank Joe makes it. The trade doesn't make us younger, or better, but it makes us competitive and in the running for a big signing next year.
