Is this the start of something special in Auburn Hills?

The final destination grabs the headlines but the journey is the fun part….

During the summer of 2000, in a sign and trade deal, the Detroit Pistons traded all-star forward Grant Hill to the Orlando Magic. In return, the services of Chucky Atkins and Ben Wallace were acquired. This was the start of the "Going to Work" era that culminated with a championship run in 2004. Looking back, it’s easy to pinpoint that trade as the start of something special but in real time, it’s impossible to determine.
