Allen Iverson Traded to Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups
Written by Jay on November 4, 2008 – -
In a shocking move by the Detroit Pistons, they traded for All-Star Point Guard Allen Iverson in exchange for former MVP Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess.
This was an interesting move considering the fact that the Pistons were winning with Billups and McDyess. But I think the move was basically to aim higher into the future.
Yes, I’m talking about winning NBA titles but Joe Dumars, the Pistons president, wants to eventually land the Cavs All-Star, Lebron James.
Lebron James is arguably one of the best talents in basketball today but he has yet to win a championship so he’s missing that factor. And until he wins, people won’t consider him the best player in the game today.
Just think about it, the Pistons who are a pretty good team and now they add Iverson as “the Answer”, they’re just waiting for one missing link – King James.
Honestly, I’m not sure how AI will fit into the mix, especially playing on the same court as hotheaded Wallace but we’ll see how that goes. But let’s say Billups, on the other hand, will definitely help Carmelo Anthony out a lot more.
All I know is, Iverson better step up quick because I have him in my fantasy basketball league!
