2006 NBA ReDraft: Who Comes After LeBron? | Bill Simmons’ Book of Basketball 2.0 | The Ringer

Kaman in 2006 was a 9/9.5 guy and in the playoffs (11 games) put up 11/8 on 59% shooting. Talk about a C who can play 20 minutes for you, he was the one. 2010 he was an 18.5/9.5 guy. He even joined Portland in 2015 (51 win team) where he put up 8.5/6.5 in 19 minutes. I get that Perk was a Celtic, but Kaman would have been better for both those Celtics and Thunder teams.

[@greyklopstock7155]

Seriously, I don't understand how this is even an argument. If the pistons took Wade, who was an All star by year two and a champion and finals MVP by year three, they bare minimum win two of the next three. I'd say they win all three, cause the pistons lost to wade and Miami in 06. So with Wade not being there, the pistons assuredly make the finals again. Short of like, the Spurs getting Kobe or something like that, there wasn't a move to be made for any other team that would realistically pose a significant enough challenge to Detroit. IMHO, pistons draft wade and they three peat EASY

@@neiljoysey2844 the only argument I would have is I don't think they go after Sheed at the trade deadline and keep Melo or Prince at the 4.

Let's say Russell was born exactly ten years later and was drafted in 1969 and played the majority of his career in the 70s instead of the 60s, Russell would have......dominated the 70s and won nearly every championship too.

West in this draft was like Boozer the year before. Great college career, but got passed up for guys with “more upside”.

Have you stopped at 2003? I would love to see the rest! :)

[@deshawncurry2029]

Wade actually joined Kobe on 1st team all nba in 09. I think Bill is focused on positions but they were clearly the top two guards for a stretch after the media stopped pumping Nash up.

[@Whirlpool730]

So no mention of Jose Calderon?

[@k.c.skrewye8649]

Better ReDraft (? For injury Concerns or character issue) Bron Wade? Bosh/Melo West Diaw? Hinrich?/Williams/Barbosa/Calderon Howard?/Korver Kaman Ford? Ridnour Blake Perkins/Pachuila Milicic? Honorable Mentions Piétrus/Delfino James Jones/Bonnor/Kapono/Outlaw Daniels/Dahntay Jones Collision Banks/Hayes/Green Bogans

[@eboooo]

Can we get the Leandro Barbosa highlight reel?

[@chriscee1778]

Disagree with the 2nd pick. D Wade would of been a positive but I think we would of benefitted greatly with Melo in the long run.

[@TheWhoCaresCast]

howso?

[@chriscee1778]

@@TheWhoCaresCast Melo back then was a modern day power forward in my eyes. We could of build around that and been ahead of the curve before everyone. We needed a strong power forward to win a championship that year in Rasheed. Melo could of been that years down the line.

@@chriscee1778 melo was too selfish and offensive minded coming out of college that Detroit team would have kept him on the bench for his lack of defense alone

Bill is the best, cool reliving these old memories

Still waiting for 2004, 2005, 2006..... :(

[@sprucewayne10]

Kobe was lucky to go to a great organization. Don't kid yourself. His legacy could have been way different if he stayed in Charlotte and got 1 ring or something lol

[@eorob41]

Reupload?

[@maxdurk4624]

We need '04 already!!!

[@DrLeoMarvin241]

Ugh using the turquoise pistons logo... why?

[@prolifik5]

Chad trying to justify Darko all these years later. 😂😂😂😂😂 Yes I would rather have all those players. Darko got plenty of chances even after Detroit and topped out at "OK rotation big". Why are you (re)drafting for upside when we've already seen the actual results?

[@frankmaitland2569]

Bosh if he had stayed in Toronto would have been a 25 12 career

[@royerdaexplorer6427]

Is this a mistake? The Ringer posted this last week.

[@samspurgeon1594]

How tf did u guys disrespect Kaman so bad

[@razkable]

and jose

[@aro327]

They deleted kirk hinrich and alcoholism stuff that chad ford talked about.

[@davidfitzgerald3201]

Kirk being an alcoholic? Have never heard that before.

[@jonathanfox676]

Melo's legacy is the olympics, he's the best team usa player ever. always represented the usa well

[@davidmccrea6800]

Melo forced his way to New York so what are you talking about, "its funny how the ball bounces" - he chose how the ball bounced = he chose a bad franchise because his wife wanted to be a celebrity in Manhattan and that's why he didn't have a Dirk-style title

[@chejulian6092]

Bro why do y’all hate him for going to New York ? 😂

[@mikejanacone8328]

I understand Darko Milicic was a joke with a second overall pick, but if you take wade or Anthony there, does that mess up the chemistry of the Pistons and do they not going to win the championship that season I’ve always thought about that

[@jumelhopkins1353]

Nah. Too good of talents. Their offense was plug n play and Detroit needed scoring off the bench.

[@quincyjames5355]

Why was it reuploaded?

[@ssor2816]

You forgot Kaman. Better career than Jones and Milicic.

[@eboooo]

Why did they reupload this?

[@eboooo]

I now know

[@jamesstudley1166]

We’re gonna skip over the fact that he said Bill Russell is top 3 of all time?

[@diablosportscreme]

Yeah 11 rings. The ultimate winner. Look it up.

[@Michigan_dad]

How is Kaman not on this list?

[@fortynights1513]

Bill Simmons must not have been impressed with what he saw out of him.

[@tankmoney]

They disrespected TJ Ford

[@dennisoconnor1194]

No mention of Kyle Korver all star season?
