Read all about it: Iverson headed to Pistons, Billups, McDyess returning to Denver
| quote: | DETROIT -- A basketball official says the Denver Nuggets have traded former MVP Allen Iverson to the Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess.
The official spoke Monday to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the trade had not been announced. Detroit was determined to shake up its core last summer following a third straight exit from the Eastern Conference finals, but never made a major deal. Two games into the season, the Pistons have pulled off a blockbuster many expected months earlier. Pistons spokesman Kevin Grigg declined to confirm the trade, and messages were left for a Nuggets spokesman as well as for the agent of Billups and McDyess. Iverson, a four time NBA scoring champion with a career average of 27.7 points per game, is averaging just 18.7 points through three games this season with the Nuggets. Billups, a lottery pick out of Colorado by the Boston Celtics in 1997, will be making his second tour with the Nuggets. The 2004 NBA Finals MVP appeared in 58 games over the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons. McDyess, who joined the Pistons after they won the NBA title in 2004, was an All-Star for the Nuggets in 2001. |
Iverson is a great player but I am sure players that go though x amount of teams are running out of time for their Ring.

interesting trade. I've always liked AI but this pretty much ends it for now since I dont like the Pistons.Watch out for them now, serious contenders in the east now.
ummmm are the Nuggets giving up on their season already?I mean I know the AI - melo thing wasnt gonna get them past the 1st round anytime soon, but the nuggets pretty much got guys who used to be in their team back when they really sucked in Billups and McDyess.Both players arent exactly at their best anymore, but If anything though now itll be cool to call him Antonio McNuggett again....
Went to the Heat vs Kings game the other day and we blew them out. We got an exciting team to watch thats for sure, but theres obviously a weakness in defense right now Ive noticed in other games. Having Haslem at Center dosnt make me feel comfortable. Beasley still needs to toughen up a bit. Chalmers has some nice upside so itll be cool to see him develop.

Both players play defense, and Billups distributes the ball - both things sorely lacking in Denver. I think this was a win-win trade, and that Denver could be considerably better without AI taking 25 shots/game and playing absolutely no defense. |
J.R Smith starting now at SG now will be an important factor as to how much better they are after this trade. But I do agree with what youre saying.
