The Denver Nuggets are expected to trade Allen Iverson to the Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess, Pistons team sources told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.

The deal has not been finalized.

This would be the second time Iverson has been traded in two years. He was dealt by Philadelphia to Denver in December 2006, kicked out of Philly over irreconcilable differences as part of a package that brought Andre Miller to the 76ers.

Where's McCoskey? lol

This is an interesting trade. I'm really sorry to see Dice go. he was a real class guy and I think we will miss his rebounding.

I hope that we at least got a 1st out of the deal otherwise we gave up too much for a guy on the decline. I have been rooting for a trade but I'm not sure if this is the one that I would have pushed for.

there's a chance McDyess will be bought out (per 97.1)

we can re-sign him after 30 days

Why would we add Samb into this? Thats just stupid! We'd better be getting another pick in return if we're giving him in the deal.

ESPN's Ric Bucher reports that McDyess might never play for Denver. He doesn't want to move and could demand a buy-out, potentially re-signing with the Pistons at some point.
