Iverson on the Pistons....We'll miss you Chauncey




Joe Dumars told us this summer there would be changes. First, Flip was fired. No big deal. Everyone saw that coming. But today the Pistons traded Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess to Denver for Allen Iverson.

Most likely, McDyess will be waived by Denver so there is a strong possibility he will be coming back to the D.

"We just felt it was the right time to change our team," Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars told The Associated Press. "Iverson gives us a dimension that we haven't had here and we really think it's going to help us."


I'm not sure about this one guys. I know Iverson would probably beat Chauncey one on one, but I think Billups was a better fit for the team. Personally he was my favorite player. It will be exciting to see what happens next, to say the least.

Iverson will be introduced at a press conference Tuesday at 3:30 at the Palace. He may play as soon as Wednesday in Toronto against the Raptors.

All in all, I'd rather have Billups. What do you think?

I do think a trade was needed,but Chauncey that one stings. I hear people talking about how he wasnt his best this last season especially in the post season . But you cant forget the years he put it all out there on the floor every night. He was for sure my favorite piston but i see him fitting in great in Denver so he'll be okay .
Now iverson becoming a piston wow i havent been this excited since Sheed came here .I think he can become the floor leader he needs to be.A person with his talent and ambition cant hurt a team thats built to win . Rips the new leader of the team i think we'll be fine.
