Nuggets trade Allen Iverson to Pistons for Chauncey Billups, McDyess

[boozehound]

Al Jefferson Switched his #8 for #7 and let Antoine Walker take his #8 back after Walker wore #88 for two games. Also Andre Igodoula have Webber #4.

my bad. thought only the incoming player could change but I guess Im way off.

[flintstone]

Well, now we've got Sheed and Iverson ready to expire ($32,000,000 or so?)....and I suppose we'll still be at the least, a very good team?

Rip was going to back up Prince a lot this year anyway...he plays the three spot just fine. We were always going to play the three guard rotation thing a lot this year anyway.

Stuckey was slated to rotate between 1-2

Iverson probably will rotate between 1-2 also?

This trade works out for everyone else in the east because detriot got worse.

Go Raps.

Call me crazy, but I guess I'm the only Denver fan that likes this trade.

Billups gives us a proven, solid, point guard, and Mcdyess gives us another big who actually has an outside shot.

Brilliant I think. Does it mean we're automatically west contenders? Of course not. But our chances of winning a playoff series just went up.

Thanks for closing the other thread, adamcz.

I had a long ass post ready to go on 'quick reply', and I get done and go to post it, and oh, the other f-cking thread got closed. Great. And since it was a quick reply, I can't go back to copy/paste it, so **** YOU.

Let this be a warning to anyone else who thinks it's a good idea to post in duplicate threads. You could be the next catzhernandez.

sounds like a done deal pretty much according to this:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...yhoo&type=lgns

Denver has traded All-Star guard Allen Iverson to Detroit in exchange for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess, a league executive with knowledge of the talks said.

The deal is expected to be completed within the hour.

Carmelo going back to his 30 ppg days now. I like it for Denver, their team now is much more balanced; Billups is a better playmaker, defender, and 3 pt shooter...three areas they really lacked. Hard to tell how the Pistons will be but I dont see them worse than they have been.

[statman32]

Does J.R start now or does Carter continue to start at SG?

[ihatetimthomas]

This is what confuses me... why take on the extra salary for a short window of contention during which the Hornets and Lakers will likely dominate anyway. Why not use AI's expirer to build for the future?

When you think about it, with Kmart, nene, Melo, Smith all locked up for multiple years, how can they really truly re-build? Unless they somehow miraculously deal Kmart, they will still be over the cap. They are stuck with the players they have, and really their only option is to attempt to contend bc with the players they have on that roster, its going to be tough to rebuild

Who benefits from this trade from a fantasy perspective?

I'm taking JR Smith from Denver and Walter Herrmann from Detroit...

Any input gentlemen?

[KRAYZIE]

A.I. is a ball hog and does NOT play any defense. The Pistons D just went from lock down to street worthy. i don't care how good stuckey has looked in 3 games or 1 year next to 4 all stars. he is no chauncey billups!

Denver has been looking for a real PG for years on end. Now they have found one. Now they can at least compete with teams who have real PG's like Utah and Nawlins.

F*cking idiot!

This trade only addresses our pointguard situation. I don't see how it makes us a "serious threat" all of a sudden. Do you really think that teams are going to be terrified of a frontcourt that consists of injury prone players like Nene and K-Mart? Get real.

[nugsfreak]

Melo, JR,Billups, Martin, Nene= looks like a pretty good starting five to me

i would think JR smith would benefit the most, i think he will start at SG, anthony carter is really a PG so he will probably go to the bench.

LOL 1270 saying Pistons will be "exciting again"

and they are trying to sell that the contract falls off at the end of the season… and the Pistons will be lift with… shit! A fucking lottery team with 20 wins next year
