they can do without them with trades in mind?
Keep in mind that Ben Wallace is only playing well because of his
reunion with the duo.
Any trade of even one of them and he goes right back into a funk.
However, you could package all three former champions and try for a real
center and small forward.
Personally I'd stand pat for now.

You're such an idiot. Ben hasn't even been on the floor with the
other two except for maybe 1 game. Plus, he'l logging only around 28
minutes a game.

Without a GM seeing how well Prince and Rip are or are not playing
this season, do you really think you could trade them? Ridiculous.

No, Ray's showing how smart that Edmore Street brain trust is. You see,
there's no way that Wallace can play without Prince and Hamilton around.
Never mind that Wallace led the league in rebounding before they ever
showed up on the team. Webbie used his psychic powers to let Wallace know
that two years after he signed with the club that Dumars would sign Prince
and Hamilton, and this inspired him to become a star.

because of the reunion with Prince and Hamiliton. The defensive
intensity is due to him.
He'll continue to shine so long as they both are wearing Piston jerseys.
You disrupt that and you better have Ben included in any such trade
package.
Rip's ankle has had plenty of time to heal.
Prince's back is a mystery, kid's never been seriously injured before.

I don't know about Rip's ankle but Tayshaun has a ruptured disc in his
back. Those do not heal overnight. I would expect to see him much
before the all star break.

Ben W has played 41 min with Prince on the floor out of his 299 min and
Prince's 116
Ben played less than 8 minutes with Rip with any plus result in Rip's 1
game...
Their best defensive unit, proven by the numbers not guesses so far

news:7me1kdF...@mid.individual.net:
You're getting too far into the numbers for Ray. If he doesn't get that
Wallace played all-NBA level defense in Detroit before Hamilton and
Prince even showed up, he's not going to get that Wallace can play tough
when Hamilton and Prince are out hurt.
Of course, it would be funny to see Ray try to tell Wallace to his face
that he's too weak mentally to play without Hamilton and Prince. But
then it's been a while since he's bragged about his basketball life, and
he's not talking up his connection with Dumars so much. Maybe he got in
trouble for pretending to be Kevin Nash.
