Allen Iverson heading to Detroit
November 4, 2008
Joe Dumars, Pistons President of Basketball Operations has pulled off what they are calling a blockbuster trade in the NBA. Allen Iverson goes to the Pistons in exchange for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb who are traded to the Denver Nuggets.
In the story on NBA.com they are saying McDyess is not happy to be going to Denver and he may retire.
It is reported according to a source close to the trade deals that Denver may allow a buy out of the contract for McDyess, he would have to give up about 50 percent of his salary, meaning he’d have to agree to take about $6.8 million of the $13.6 million he’s due in any potential buyout if he wants to play elsewhere. Otherwise, the Nuggets will keep him on their roster regardless of whether he decides to report or not.
What do you think about the trade? Any Pistons fans? What do you think?
