The Fundamentals

... Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press: “They reminisced, told stories, savored their last hours before Billups’ 4 p.m. flight to another franchise. It was a strange dynamic, and not just because of the crying. The three had been teammates since 2002, when they joined the Pistons. There had been trade rumors all summer. Pistons president Joe Dumars had told Billups that he had offered Billups and Prince for Denver’s Carmelo Anthony, and that he had turned down a Billups-for-Iverson trade over the summer.

The Pistons Took The Iverson-Billups Trade Rather Hard
RealClearSports - Blog —
Chauncey Billups spent his last six seasons with the Detroit Pistons, playing alongside Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince. During that time, the trio spent roughly nine months of the year together, including countless hours on the road, in the locker room and on the court.

... Long-term, which in Dumars' mind always means May and June, he feels these Pistons will have a better opportunity to win it all than his tried and true crew would've. Perhaps winning that championship in 2004 right out of the gate once Rasheed Wallace came aboard quenched the team's hunger. They reached only one other Finals, in 2005, and came up short when, ideally, experience should've carried them through to at least one or two more. For a variety of reasons, some volunteered by Billups in a post-trade talk with the Detroit Free Press , that didn't happen. "In a perfect ...
