The Portland Trail Blazers power forward Carmelo Anthony thinks he'd have two NBA Championship ring if Detroit Pistons drafted him. On Instagram live Carmelo Anthony said " I woulda had, uh, two, maybe two or three rings." I imagine if the Detroit Pistons drafted him then they will have this lineup like Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Tayshaun Prince and Ben Wallace. Tayshaun Prince was the defensive perimeter for the team and at that time was a good three-point shooter. The offense was balanced, not centered around one guy who liked to hold the rock and get his own and also they were focused on defense which wasn't Carmelo Anthony strong point. Holding teams to under 70 points for like a five to six game stretch or something. Adding Carmelo Anthony and removing Tayshaun Prince would have changed this whole team concept. I do believe in what Ben Wallace said, they will not win the championship in 2004 and i don't think the Detroit Pistons would've made some move and probably Rasheed Wallace will not be a Pistons as well. Still, they are a contender in the Eastern and would have been a great matchup with Dwayne Wade or LeBron James in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Imagine Detroit drafted Carmelo Anthony in 2003?
