The Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons traded with each other today. The Denver Nuggets got Chauncey Billips and Antonio McDyess. The Detroit Pistons got Allen Iverson. I know. One-sided right?
However, my mom was reading some trash saying that it was in hope's of the Pistons getting LeBron James in 2010. I guess that makes sense, but why didn't Pistons wait until next year to get rid of Chauncey. My only guess would be that both Chauncey's and Antonio's contracts end at the end of the season and they wanted to at least get something for having them leave.
As for LeBron, I'm not sure that he wants to go to Detroit. No doubt about it, LeBron James will take the biggest contract that he gets offered. And that contract will probably be the biggest that the NBA has ever seen. Whether that comes from a contender, I think yes. But, I don't think that Detroit will be considered the same caliber of contender by then. Personally, I see LeBron landing in New York, Miami, or Dallas. New York teams seem to never have a lack of money. Miami needs him the most and has ways of getting the money to pay for him. Mark Cuban might see that Dirk isn't going to win by himself by then.
As for the actual trade, this definitely helps Denver. They are planning on buying out McDyess. I think that's stupid. He a good player and could really help them since they gave away Marcus Camby over the summer. But, I'd like the Suns to pick up McDyess. They won't. Retard Sarver won't the money it takes to win. But, he could help bring along Amare and Robin and could help spread the floor for Amare or Shaq or Robin.

Basketball's all about business. The teams with the most money and the greedy, unhappy players with the best agents win. Sometimes I think it's just all really stupid, and it makes me tired.
