Motown Ballin': Change we can believe in?

You know how when we traded for Allen Iverson things were supposed to change. He was supposed to be the missing scorer that would finally unlock our offensive potential and combine with our stellar defense to create a team that would dominate the universe. Yeah, that didn't work out so well. Well Iverson really isn't a premier scorer in the NBA. Oh yeah, that Chauncey guy we traded, he was pretty good. Especially defensively and in clutch situations. Well, stop your whining. Both I and Baron Davis know it is too late to call backsies. But what should we do know. We have lost 7 of the last 9 games, generally leaving us fans feeling like the feline below.

What should be done. I believe if a team is going to play together, they will at least show signs through their first 25 games. We really have not. I don't see us winning a playoff series, but as always, we are one piece away. I believe that piece is a defending center, just like Ben Wallace used to be. A center is not obtained easily though. So who should be the trade fodder. Let us go through the starting lineup...

Rodney Stuckey-He was one of the main reasons we traded Chauncey. He has lived up to his potential so far and trading him is out of the question.

Allen Iverson-If Stuckey has filled part of Chauncey's shoes, then AI has left the other part unfilled. He can still score 15-20 per night, but he creates bad matchups when he has to defend a 2, and he doesn't play that hard defensively. In my mind, he should be traded. So what if we just got him. The Hawks did the same thing when they traded for Rasheed. The question is who would want him

Tayshaun Prince- No, he will not be traded. He is the current face of the franchise

Rasheed Wallace- He is the second part of the problem. He has become indifferent to going for rebounds, and doesn't post up much anymore. He is very capable of doing this, he just doesn't think he should. He can be traded

Amir Johnson-He has still has not reached his full potential, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to trade him right now. If he was requested in a reasonable trade offer though, I don't think the Pistons could refuse, especially because we have Jason Maxiell

Here are some of my potential trade ideas. If you have a better one, send me a link on the comments:
