Detroit+Iverson=championship contention

About two weeks ago, the detroit pistons made a gigantic move with Denver Nuggets with the trade of Point guard Chauncy Billups and power forward Antonio McDyess for the 11 year superstar veteran Allen Iveson. McDyess, however, did not want any part of the trade eventhough that was a part of the original deal. "He will not put on a nuggets uniform"a source close to him says. McDyess even considered the option of retiring rather than playing for the nuggets.

Now we all know that both teams are benefitting in a major way. Denver received a commanding floor general in Chauncy Billups. The former piston can shoot, penetrate, pass, run the floor extremely well and is one of the most clutch players in the NBA right now. Denver needs a point guard of this magnitude and with this level of experience. Now im not sayin a championship is guarunteed with the edition of Billups, but with him, Carmelo, and the rest of the supporting cast, they are sure to have a higher number in the "Wins" column then last year.


On the flip-side of the deal, the pistons receive the human scoring machine Allen Iverson. Even at his days at Georgetown he just always had a knack for finding ways to put the ball in the basket. With Iverson added to the roster, not only will it mean more points per game for the pistons (and probably more wins this season as well) but it will also mean more opportunites for others to contribute to Detroit's success. Because of the high level of respect that Iverson commands because of his scoring ability, he'll get double-teamed, maybe even triple-teamed which will open up numerous possibilities for others to score. The scoring threat for the pistons has doubled with the iverson acqusition for that organization, it just might mean championship contention

Well I am definately all for Iverson. Good move. I love me some Allen Iverson. I do not even watch basketball like that. But I watch it just to see how sexy he is... oh and to see his skills on the court. wow, ALLEN I LOVE YOU!

Yes many people, well, frankly females, enjoy watching him because he's attractive, but he is amazing scorer who deserves to have a chance at winning an NBA championship.He's a free lance player who primarily knows how to score, but he also gets his teammates involved and makes others around him better as well. So you picked the right person to "Love." LOL

Personally i dont think this addition will change anything. Iverson was great at one point but he is getting old and the overall skill level in the NBA is far too good nowadays. He may have been able to score alot of points by himself but there is no "I" in team. He would have a better chance at winning a championship in Boston...

The Detroit Pistons made a great choice with making the trade with the Denver Nuggets for the one and only Allen Iverson. Iverson will be a great attribute to the Pistons, and may give them a chance to go all the way. Not only is Iverson a great player but with him having a strong team behind him there is no telling how far he will be able to go. I guess you can say that is a question that everyone wants to know but Iverson will be the answer.
