Chauncey Billups said if Pistons had drafted Melo or Bosh rather than Darko,
they might have won multiple titles:
The Pistons took Darko Milicic No. 2 in 2003 over Carmelo Anthony and Chris
Bosh (and Dwyane Wade) and won the championship in 2004 and lost in the
Finals in 2005. But Milicic was a bust and the Pistons eventually ran out of
gas. They made it to the East finals in 2008 for a sixth straight year but
then Billups was traded later that year to Denver.
活塞在03年选秀上选了第二顺位的 Darko Milicic，跳过了 Melo、Bosh 和 Wade 等人。
最终活塞在04年夺冠，但失利于05年总决赛。
但没人想得到 Milicic 竟只是个摆设。此后，活塞几乎油尽灯枯。
到08年，活塞虽曾6度杀入东部决赛，但再也无力重返总决赛。
Billups 本人也在季中被交易到金块。
“If he had drafted either Melo or Bosh, I think maybe that whole team would
still be together,’’ Billups said. “We probably would have more
championships down the road. But this is the NBA and things happen. But, of
course, I always think about that.’’
Billups 表示：
“如果他(Joe Dumars)当年选的是 Melo 或 Bosh，我相信我们全队仍然会在一起。
我们可能可以再多拿几座冠军，但这就是NBA，事情发生都发生了，但没错，
我还是一直在想这事。”
