Billups and Iverson swap jerseys

Posted by Cuzzy as NBA

Now that is some big news for a Monday afternoon.

The shakeup promised by Detroit Pistons president Joe Dumars after last season’s Eastern Conference finals has materialized just two games into the new season.

The Pistons have reached an agreement in principle with the Denver Nuggets to acquire guard Allen Iverson in exchange for Detroit mainstays Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess, club sources told ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith.

This is huge news. How will it shape the East and better yet, wil AI be in uniform by Wednesday to take on the Raps?

What are your thoughts? Who wins this deal?

pistons shake things up, and get a quality player in return. mcdeyess probably gets released, and returns to the pistons after a month.

denver gets their point guard, but takes on more salary (more years, not total money per).

gotta give the nod to the pistons on this one. dumars strikes again.

I don’t know who won, but the Pistons definitely lost. Iverson is a shell of his former self and is a shoot-first point guard. The Pistons don’t need that. AI and Sheed on the same team…Michael Curry is going to have his hands full.

Since Detroit doesn’t care about games 1-82, this is entirely a post season deal. Rodney Stuckey is good enough to play point on this team and get them into the play-offs. But Allen Iverson will terrorize the Boston point guards. Detroit and Boston went 3 deep at the point last season, (Rondo, House, Cassell / Billups, Stuckey, Hunter) and this move doesn’t compromise that framework. It enhances Detroit’s chances of willing this matchup and ultimately, winning on the parquet floor in Beantown.

Sorry, I meant, ‘winning this matchup.’

Point, Detroit.

On another note, I am very sad to see Chauncey Billups go. He was awesome.

I think this is a GREAT trade for both sides. I think Chauncey’s gonna change the make-up of a Denver team that doesn’t know how to win in the Playoffs. These games are gonna be fun to watch on VCast Mobile TV on the new Krave phone (motorola.com/krave)…
