Carmelo makes more sense. He gives them a scoring threat to help take the pressure off of Rip and Billups. Some are saying that Darko would be better to give them size to compete out West and because Prince has been playing well. One good post-season doesn't make a player great though (Croshere, Bibby, etc.), and time will tell with Tayshaun. I'd have to say Denver's in the best position for the future with either Melo or Darko falling into their laps, in addition to any free agent they had this summer with that huge amount of cap space they have open. Then again, they are the Nuggets...
As for the Pistons, they are the like the Baltimore Ravens the year they one the Super Bowl. They play ugly,boring basketball, but there's something you have to respect about them. Dynasty is a bit of a stretch though...one championship would be a huge accomplishment with that team.
