I know we lose a lot by sending Manu away, but we get a long 3 in return that can score with the best of 'em, defend, and run as a decent smallball F. He can defend Dirk, Marion, Melo, and whoever else is long, leaving Bowen and Udoka to stick the opposing PG. He's younger than Manu, and has some upside (he still hasn't even made the all star game, partially because the Pistons have so many other talents and their offensive system doesn't give him a ton of touches).
Just think of the defensive lineups we could throw out there, with Bowen, Prince and Udoka.
We'd never score 80 all season.
Might as well send the O'Brien trophy along with Manu while we're at it.
Billups
Manu
Hamilton
Sheed
Maxiell or Dice
That's a nice lineup to trot out in a 4th quarter of a playoff game.
Prince is one of the more overrated players in the NBA. He's a good role player but somewhere along the line he got the rep of being way better than he is. Prince hasn't been a lockdown defender since 2004. Since then, he gets lit up on a regular basis.
I disagree, if anyhing he is underrated, pistons are preaty much a mediocre team without him. With that said, i would still never traded manu for prince.
When you trade Ginobili you trade the heart of the team.Seriously -- Manu for Tayshaun -- it's not that bad of a deal to make
So yeah its a horrible trade.
only if you consider Jamal Tinsley and Emeka Okafor as being "the best of them"...
Uhhhhhhh.......................no.
people are going to burn the arena for this.
Tay is offensively passive, and the search for the "long three" has officially gotten ridiculous.
Why not the city and this forum?
Well, Pistontalks would receive many visitors!!!
2005 should be enough to say good god no, but on top of that there's always tayshaun lilting away like a dying flower while lebron leaps over the pistons franchise and dunks himself into the finals and the dreams of espn last year.
I think the notion of a long 3 is intended as a compliment to the existing Big 3. Unless you're getting another player who's on the level of the Big 3 -- and Prince, for all that he is, clearly is not on that level -- you don't break up the Big 3 to get a long 3.
Manu for Prince would be a huge, huge step backwards for the Spurs.
Sure why not?
In fact if the Spurs want to unload Tony Parker's contract while they're at it, the Pistons will reluctantly send over Flip Murray and a second round draft pick as well.
Moving Ginobili would mean that some serious rebuilding was afoot. Anyways, he will retire a Spur.
hey, why not ship tony parker to boston for scott pollard while your at it??
Throw in Eddie House and you got yourself a deal.
Manu is playing as good, if not better defense than Tayshaun is this year. And his offense is light-years ahead of where Tayshaun has ever been.
Did I mention Ginobili is better in the intangibles?
....
Hmmm.
Manu for Prince... really?? Are you that ing blind?
This trade makes sense if a Pistons Fan is advocating it, but being proposed by a Spurs fan . . .
