Pistons starting 5 would be Billups, RIP, Kawhi, Sheed, Wallace with Prince as the sixth man. The starting 5 as four shooters and Wallace, so they have modern spacing, and RIP gives them a legit movement shooter. While Kawhi and Billups give them two elite ball handling threats and Sheed gives you an elite inside scorer.
Then you take Wallace out and go Billups, RIP, Prince, Kawhi, Sheed. Now you have 5 out spacing.
04 Pistons with Kawhi is going to be insane defensively and have size at every position. Meanwhile, while the Celtics are great, they don’t really have a body to throw at Sheed.
Idk, it would be a good series, but I think Pistons would be favored. Kawhi would be the best player on the floor, they would have multiple scoring options, Sheed would be the best big on the floor, and Wallace gives you elite rim protection.
RIP was a bucket getter and great movement shooter, the game was just different back then. He did shoot 45% from 3 two years later
