That Billups deal also got him out of the Billups' contract. Of course, he now uses said money plus for two solid if unspectacular players. Piston starting quintet looks good right now, IMO:

PG Stuckey
SG Gordon
SF Prince
PF Villanueva
C McDyess

In the east, that's not horrible. Two really tough match-ups (Prince and Villanueva) and an undersized C. Hamilton leads the bench bunch, with Maxiell, Bynum, rookie Daye, and the immortal Kwame Brown as a second unit. If they can find a solid C other than Wallace, they have a shot to be that second-tier Eastern Conference, 3 or 4 seed or better.
