The Answer

Allen Iverson the 2001 NBA mvp awardee and former sixers that was dealt to nuggets a few years back to help the denver nuggets surpass its 1st round playoff struggle ended yesterday as “The Answer” was traded to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Chauncey Billups and Antonio Mcdyess. This was a shocking trade scenario as no one ever expected this and there were no rumors roaming around before this trade. I was really shocked then, it was like the biggest scoop that every sports reporters can get. This move will eventually improve both teams especially the nuggets as they were searching for a legit all star point guard (billups) that can really delivered the goods to carmelo, jr smith and company. Iverson was never a point guard but he helped the nuggets in scoring and claim a playoff berth last season. In contrary, the Detroit Pistons will surely be a contender once again in the addition of Iverson. His scoring presence along with Prince and Hamilton will be a dynamic force in offense. This was the first blockbuster trade this season and I expect more of this on the upcoming months. Iverson will play his first game as a pistons on thursday Nov 5 against the undefeated Toronto Raptors.
