this should be interesting. Allen Iverson goes to Detroit?
thats where his ex coach, Larry Brown, was sent. Brown took Detroit to a championship that 1st year, 2nd place after that and traded soon after.
Iverson has been known for his singular efforts, altho he has turned into a team player while assigned to Denver.
What Denver was missing during the playoffs was defense. They certainly had offense. Not sure what Iverson brings to Detroit in that line-up.
time will tell. let the truth be told.
The Denver Nuggets have traded All-Star guard Allen Iverson to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess, a league executive with knowledge of the talks said.
Pistons center Cheick Samb also will go to Denver to make the salaries match in the trade.
Billups helped guide the Pistons to the Eastern Conference finals during each of his previous six seasons in Detroit. He grew up in Denver and played 58 games for the Nuggets over two seasons from 1998-2000.
McDyess has had two previous stints with the Nuggets, and he began his career with them in 1995.
Iverson was traded to Denver in December 2006 but was not able to help Carmelo Anthony lift the Nuggets out of the first round of the playoffs in his two seasons there.
