You could have gotten Melo won one or two more chips 04-08 then traded all the old heads by 08-09 for guys like Ron Artest, Ray Allen, Rookie Marc Gasol and had a crazy team.
@@nikolayjerev9285 hell nah Melo was the best college player he won the championship whereas Darko played internationally in a weak league.They also didn’t need a center cause they had Big Ben
I’m still convinced 100% that Larry Brown didn’t want Melo because he didn’t want to have to have history repeat itself from Philly. That draft goes to show how what team you go to can change the trajectory of an entire career.
Bro there's lots of teams that pick either some trash or a flop, like look at Lakers #1 pick with them small ass hands as a center, can't remember his name though. Cavs had like 3-4 #1 picks and yeah Kyrie's good, but ue couldn't carry them to the playoffs
Bro… bro 😔 this one hits home I grew up in Detroit, watched the NBA religiously back then. If we woulda got Melo we had 2-3 rings in the books. 🤦🏻♂️ 😒 Biggest draft pick blunder of any team in any sport across any era hands down Damn!
@@jdibble1840pistons were a good crazy defense with a mediocre offense. they get melo and probably do get a ring out of it assuming melo doesn’t completely sell
21 years later and I still can’t believe that shit. Melo should have been a piston. I thought honestly we were taking D wade and letting a piece go but what a trip. I guess it could be worse we could be the knicks.
Yeap, Detroit kept Darko for 3 years and he never once played even half a season averaging 1.5/1.1/0.3…..Pistons fumbled the bag for sure not getting Melo 💯
I’m from Inkster MICHIGAN. 15 minutes outside of Detroit , this shit broke my MOTHERfuCkin heart 😢😢😢😢 , love melo , I been saying this since 2003 , smh , DETROIT WE GOT LOVE U , smh , what could have been ummmmmm mmmmhhh , MELO U A GOAT LOVE U Bro , maybe we will get ya son , crossing my fingers Love and respect to Antony Family , u raised a killa and Detroit wants him naw we need him to rebuild our future
🤭Mello fans are delusional.. he would be the same Mello regardless of the team that drafted him. He be never be Isaiah Thomas and never as good as King James! Stop fantasizing! 🤫
League couldn’t allow that, Melo in Detroit would’ve been a threat to Lebrons career and the NBA was setting him up already as the face of the league. Melo and Detroit would’ve won multiple championships before lebron. Detroit had the best defense and to that you add one of the best Offensive guys ever seen that would’ve been a wrap for Lebron lol!!!
Due to melo lack of expanding his game his work ethic and selfishness on the court Denver melo is irrelevant considering jokic won a ring with #15 Denver melo number

@@shadow_realm47 easily win multiple with melo our defense n his 20 + per night.
Or Chris Bosh
Detroit fumbled on creating a dynasty
Ya imagine if they won all the chips melo won it would be so amazing. 🤣
They won the championship that year
Detroit made the right choice
@@GregCampbell-y6s Yh but they weren’t a dynasty with Melo they would’ve come out the east every year and potentially beat the spurs in 05 and 07

Leave it to Detroit
@@jdibble1840Bruh reread what was being said!! Dude clearly said "Melo playing on Detroit wouldve been 2-3 rings" dude never said he won.

Only dude Bette than Lebron he goes to Detroit Lebron goat conversion never starts😂😂😂
Me as mělo before the draft:darko..........im n9t that black chilli out............hold up wait ....thats a person
Melo in Detroit would've changed the course of basketball for better or worse.
Anthony could have been Isaiah Thomas for the Pistons, but they wanted White Boy instead… 🤦🏻♂️
Nothing would have changed. Still would be ringless
What a brilliant and insightful comment, thank you for sharing.
🤭Mello fans are delusional.. he would be the same Mello regardless of the team that drafted him. He be never be Isaiah Thomas and never as good as King James! Stop fantasizing! 🤫
This is what happens when too many Smart people are in the room
That shit kills Pistons fans to this day.

Detroit always selling on draft Day 😂
An example of not doing the research
Research on what
Detroit been fumbling great players since 2003 😂😂
If Melo gets drafted by the pistons, they still win the 2004 championship but I feel they would win in 2005 six and seven as well
Blame Dumars. 🙏🏾
DETROIT LOVES U KILLA , we fucked up SMH 😢😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Worst decision in piston history!! Makes me wonder why am I still a piston fan?? Smdh
Rigged
Melo is an under achiever.
Drako lived in Melo’s head rent free. It was a good thing, but everyone was acting like he was better.
This went over yall head lebron an the NBA KNEW IF THAT HAPPEND MELO WOULD HAVE BETTER LOOKS IN THE EAST. FACTS
Darko have a championship, Melo does not
Due to melo lack of expanding his game his work ethic and selfishness on the court Denver melo is irrelevant considering jokic won a ring with #15 Denver melo number
But they win the championship that year...but if they draft Melo they would of 3 in a row may 4
Because having Melo on your team leads to championships? How so? How many teams have won championships with him?
PLANNED FOR LABRON (KING James)MELO KNEW STOP PLAYING?????😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅
Everyone lost….detroit ended up being trash, melo retired without a ring, and darko barely got mins with them
WE NEED TO HEAR THIS POV FROM THE DETROIT SIDE
What could have been....😢
He should have won the Rookie of the Year in 2004 over Lebron
21 years later…… WHO?? Who is that guy?? 🤣
The nba told Detroit not to draft Melo
Hey Darko, Donnie said hi
