Should the Pistons trade..?

Question

Do you think they should trade Rasheed?

I mean, Maxiell has lots of upside and he can easily replace sheed in my opinion. I feel they should trade Rasheed while he still has good value.

If yes, to what team and for who?

Im not a Pistons fan so i dont really know about them. I was just wondering

Answer 1

No they should not trade him. They need to bring in a better center, but in my opinion that might be that easy. I think they should try to bundle a few players and try to get someone to help sheed down low.  

Answer 2

i would say no dont trade Rasheed the Pistons need a big man who can score and defend in the post. Rasheed is also good from the 3-point line and he could run down the court. Rasheed is one of the guys who make the Pistons and if you trade him ther is no Pistons. That's what I think.

Answer 3

i think they should if they get good enough value back, cuz if they trade him for a guard then kwame brown is gonna b r center (maxiell is pf he cant play center, and neither can mcdyess). so i think if it was like sheed for samuel dalembert, it mite work

Answer 4

Im a HUUUUUUGE pistons fan.. and my answer is NO!

If you know the Pistons, their star 4 Prince/Billups/Hamilton/Rasheed are like a family, their tighter then any 4 players in the NBA. Their definitely a great team together. Even if rasheed still has good value (which he will keep), he is a base of the Pistons team.

It's okay if Maxiell is getting better, he'll probably spark soon, but so will Stuckey. If you watched the playoffs Stuckey got loads of playing time, especially when Billups got injured. So even with Sheed on the team, maxiell will get his time.

Answer 5

Rasheed seems to be declining at about the time Maxiell seems to be destined for a breakout year. What made Rasheed valuable is that he could consistently make shots from anywhere and he could drive to the inside. He's playing less aggressively now and he's become inconsistent with his shooting. He also used to play great defense. Maxiell is one of the up and coming great defenders in the league. Last year, he was just as affective as Sheed on defense. They should trade Rasheed while he still has value.

Answer 6

it depends on who they can get for him, and maxiell cant replace sheed

Answer 7

Good idea. I dont know the pistons either. But Maxiell is young and very good from what ive seen of him. Sheed...getting old...still has value= perfect trade opportunity. Plus the pistons cud get some stuff back too.

Answer 8

Um no. I haven't heard any rumour that the Pistons are interested in trading Rasheed. He might be getting old, but no too old to dominate in the post. Plus, Antonio Mcdyess really doesnt have the same power Chris Webber had, meaning that Rasheed is currently needed as a big man.

Answer 9

only trade him if pistons can get some one good in return. they cant win 50+ games without Rasheed, the other big men on their team cant fill his position

Answer 10

I say YES! Trade Rasheed. He's a selfish cocky player and he is unneeded on the Pistons. They have a young guy named Cheik Samb and he's 7'1. And they now have Kwame Brown. They do not need Rasheed. Maxiell will be great as a power forward because he is very undersized as a center. He has lots of energy and has great ups. He's also a team player, unlike Rasheed.  

Answer 11

rasheed is one of the reasons why opposing teams cant concentrate on other players on the team.  he opens up the floor and creates spacing, either on the 3 point line or in the block.  he is also a good help defender and post defender at the pf position.

if theyre going to trade him, they would need to get someone who could replace him, i like maxiell but no way can he be the presense sheed is. hes also like artest, not many teams would like this guy on their team, so in sense they wont give up equal skill value for him.  he had 1 or 2 season where he kept under control and just focused on the game, but hes lost that once again.
