This is never happening. RIP > Mo+Mo Rip has ten times more impact on the Pistons than Mo Pete's impact on Raptors.
Rip is a highly overrated player. the only reason he was an allstar last year was because of the system he's in. Rip is a valuable asset to detroit but i dont think he would have the same success on another team. his weak defense, lack of rebounding, and assists would all be exposed. detroit is the only team Rip is an allstar on. I almost wouldnt do that trade because the only thing Rip really has is a midrange jumper. Mo-pete can at least finish around the hoop and shoot 3s.

He's arguably one of the best in the league at moving without the ball.

I'd rather have a consistent mid-range shooter than Mo Pete. Rip is arguably one of, if not THE best mid-range shooter.
mo can't create off the dribble, in fact, most raptors fans are uncomfortable with him dribbling at all. i do see the point about rip being overrated, to that end, he was a scrub in washington, so maybe the system argument has some validity. nonetheless, beside tj ford and the fast break he would be an absolute terror in the east.
The best part of Rip's offensive game (moving without the ball) would be absolutely ignored if he played for the Sam Mitchell-coached Raps. I think this is a case where I wouldn't do the trade if I was either team. The Pistons have no reason to even consider this trade if we don't kick in a first rounder. And, from the Raptors' perspective, I'd be hesitant to commit that much cap space to a player that will almost certainly be less effective outside Detroit and really doesn't solve our lack of 3 pt. shooting. Either way, it doesn't matter. Somebody made it up.

Pistons would definately be in a rebuilding mode and want some salary off the books. That's just pure speculation though, i have no idea what his intentions are. I still think it would cost the raptors a little more than Mopete though ...

lol. yea right, this is funny. Rip would be great for us, MoPete does nothing for Detroit. It's a terror whenever MoPete decides he wants to create for himself. Rip needs the screens, basically he'd get what we're running for Anthony a lot more, except he'd actually make the shots, and he'd also be our best perimeter guy at creating shots off the dribble, even though that's not his biggest strength.
Rip would be a great addition in Toronto, Who says Raps need better 3 pt shooting? The Raptors need to take LESS 3 pointers and Rip can do it, since he's all mid range and can nail the shot at will. Though, the problem is will Rip become what he was in Washington? Or will he continue playing like he's doing in Detroit.. However there's no possible way this is happening.
First off, that newspaper or whatever it is probably doesn't exist. Second off, if Dumars pulls off that trade, he's an idiot. Third off, I "heard from a friend" that the Raptors will trade Bosh for Nazr Mohammed.
