Michael Wallace is as dumb and uninformed as the Heat fans that follow him. He tweeted a comparison about how Pujols followed the money when Lebron followed the ring and said why you mad? Little did he know the Marlins offered 25M more than the Angels and Pujols already has a ring. Just an awful tweet. He needs to shut his fat trap.

Rip is great when he wants to be. But I'm more concerned with his motivation. A few of the more recent Pistons teams were still stacked, but half the team didn't give enough of a shit to win ballgames. I think if we got good Rip, his playstyle would fit. The problem is, where the **** has good Rip been? It's not all age, because he's 33 and still has most of his legs.

He hasn't been the same since Billups left Detroit. I don't see how he could hurt us but I don't see him being of great help either.

Or he got the cancer bug from Iverson. Shit, has any volume player, teammate of Iverson ever gone on to do big things? Even Melo changed, and that boy was hungry.

Iverson gets a bad rap. It started from Larry Brown complaining about him not practicing. But Larry loves Iverson. He basically left Charlotte because Jordan wanted to bring in Kwame over Larry's guy Iverson. Iverson and Brown are both emotional guys so they clashed a lot.

Honestly with Hamilton, I think it was something that he and the rest of the Pistons got when Larry Brown left and Flip Saunders came. They started felt like they could coach themselves after Brown left and they didn't really respect Saunders like they did Brown. So to me that was the start of his attitude change. Hamilton, Billups, both Wallaces, and Prince all had that mentality that they were coaching themselves and that Saunders was just a figurehead coach.

Richard Hamilton changed on his own, along with Billups and Prince. They all felt they needed themselves and no coach. Saunders made several hints about that when he first came to Washington. By saying that the players in Washington were coachable, listened, and took criticism well. He said he hasn't seen that since he was in Minnesota. Iverson wasn't there in Flip was coaching the Pistons.

tne source called #Bulls "the leaders" to land Rip. DRose would be on board: "He's got a championship. It's great. He knows how to win."

I'd prefer J-Rich, but I'd settle on Rip. Good veteran presence. Not the player he use to be, but still decent. Also knows defense.

Rip, I don't mind adding. Still wouldn't mind adding Crawford too like some of you have said.
