There are plenty of options, and I think they'd all work. You could ask Stuckey to change numbers, and I bet he would. You could wait until Stuckey is gone. Or you could retire it, allow Stuckey to finish his Pistons career with it, then never assign it anyone after that.</p> I don’t think it changes whether it will be retired.

I'm so pissed off that they changed Big Ben's number and now Stuckey has it. Ben DEFINITELY deserves to have his number retired. I think he is more underrated than Dennis Rodman. AMEN TO THAT!

I thought it was disrespectful of the Pistons organization and Stuckey himself to take #3 as soon as Ben left.  I think that makes it difficult to retire said #.

However, I would utterly amazed if Richard Hamilton's number wasn't retired, and disagree with your points on his case completely. I disagree with your points about Rasheed Wallace as well, but for different reasons. Wallace may or may not deserve to have his number retired, but your shallow arguments about his being a malcontent serve nothing for your points. More on topic, which I wish you were regarding him rather than being biased, without Wallace, the Pistons may or may not have won the NBA title in 2004. That said, I do agree very much with your points on Billups, Ben Wallace and Rodman. No question those three should have their numbers in the rafters, but so should Hamilton and possibly Rasheed Wallace (I could go back and forth on that). Tayshaun Prince, probably shouldn't but if he was, I could understand that as he's been an important player on many good teams. Nice piece.

Not many guys who deserve to have their number retired with two teams, but Rodman is definitely one of them.

Just browsing through this list (http://www.nba.com/history/retired_numbers.html) and only a few guys have their number retired for two teams. (No promises I caught them all).

  • Wilt Chamberlain (Warriors and Lakers)
  • Kareem Abdul Jabbar (Bucks and Lakers)
  • Julius Erving (Nets and 76ers)
  • Oscar Robertson (Kings and Bucks)
  • Charles Barkley (76ers and Suns)
  • Nate Thurmond (Cavaliers and Warriors)
  • Pete Maravich (Hornets and Jazz), which is just weird. He stopped playing nine years before the Hornets franchise’s first season.

Totally agree on Rodman ... his 91 actually should be retired in Chicago too. Great post. Totally agree on Rodman … his 91 actually should be retired in Chicago too.
