The Nuggets are sending Allen Iverson, one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history and a former league MVP, to the Pistons for 2004 Finals MVP Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess.................

congrats to the nuggets for going out and making their team better, and congrats to the pistons for making your team worse. very dumb move in my opinion, i'd take billups and mcdyess over iverson, so the nuggets did the right thing

I would say that Denver got the better trade due to the fact that Billups plays Defense every game and will hustle unlike Iverson who will only play win he is getting the ball and his shot is falling

you may be right coach, but in my opinion i think the Pistons would better off with Billups and Mcdyees, reason being is they both play hard nosed defense

the pistons needed something to change. while they were one of the best teams in the NBA, they still could not get past Boston. with the addition of AI i think they can. AI has the ability to take over a game. while it hurts losing Billups D, others on the team (Prince, Sheed etc.) are still great defensive players.

i agree with the coach i like to see A.I. win a NBA title before he retires because he deserves it and i think they can because iverson is starting to realize his career is winding down an this might just be the last chance he has to win a title and i think he will sacrifice hisself on the defensive an if not then i dont see it happenin and the billups trade was good for denver because they have a pass first point guard and it make melo the vocal point on the offense so they'll be better and when did jon coachman start being on espn
