Hold on a second, is Billups/McDyess for Iverson happening?
Detroit Bad Boys —
... Iverson makes $20 million this year. Billups makes half of that. The deal can not be executed unless the Pistons involve more players to match Iverson’s cap figure.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is reporting that Antonio McDyess would be included to make salaries work. It’s hardly official but it seems to be gaining steam. Let’s sit tight for another hour or and so see if anything actually comes of this.
Update: A. Sherrod Blakely says this is happening:

You heard the rumors. You thought it wouldn’t happen at least until the season got started, things got rolling. Chauncey Billups is a much better fit in the D than almost any other guard.
But it’s official official, according to a phone call from MLive’s A. Sherrod Blakely:

... when I read this. People have always talked about the Pistons lack of a true “superstar” and this trade would instantly remove that label. Allen Iverson would bring some serious star power to a team and might even make them the favorites in the East. Plus, as an added bonus, it potentially frees up major cash for next summer’s free agent class!

The Michigan Live blog and Stephen A. Smith and ESPN.com are reporting that the Nuggets and Pistons have reached agreement on a trade that will send Allen Iverson to the Pistons in exchange for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess and Cheik Samb. The trade is not final.
After watching the Nuggets against the Clippers last Friday, this trade makes sense. Or maybe it's that AI's performance makes sense now that the trade is happening. Iverson looked disinterested in that game. He got going in the second half, after the ...

Agent: “Dice is not happy at all” about trade
Detroit Bad Boys —
Remember how I said there were too many moving parts to call this deal done? From A. Sherrod Blakely:
The tentative trade between the Detroit Pistons and the Denver Nuggets may have hit a snag.
While both sides have agreed to trade Pistons guard Chauncey Billups and top reserve Antonio McDyess for Denver’s Allen Iverson, McDyess’ reluctance to be included in the deal may become an issue.
“Dice is not happy at all (about the possible trade),” said Andy Miller, who is the agent for both Billups and McDyess. ...

Power forward Rasheed Wallace said he was just hearing about the trade and didn’t have much to add. He did think aloud about the possibility of adding a former NBA scoring champion in Iverson.
“Another scorer back there with Rip (Hamilton) … we’ll see how it plays out,” Wallace said. “I can’t comment too much. That’s not a Guaransheed right there, so I can’t comment too much.”
While A. Sherrod Blakey points to McDyess’ “reluctance to be included in the deal”, ...
What Will Joe Do? Joe Provides Answer
DETROIT4LYFE —
... If you're not excited enough, and feel like the Pistons gave up too much for the time being, get this. Antonio McDyess is unhappy with the trade and will most likely receive a buyout from the Nuggets. This would more than likely end in the Pistons resigning him for the veteran's minimum. That means the Piston player who has the deepest hunger for a championship would be back on the team at more than $5 million less than before. ...
Pistons Deal Chauncey for Iverson
Hoops and Other Pop Culture —
http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2008/11/pistons_to_trade_billups_mcdye.html Antonio McDyess is also said to be headed to Denver, but rumor is that Denver will buy out his contract and he will re-sign with Detroit. 1) I am amazed that Billups is only one year younger than Iverson. I would have guessed AI at 36 and Chauncey at 30. 2) The league should not allow teams to trade a guy to make a trade work and then allow that team to re-acquire the player that same season. This is a sham. So let me get this right? McDyess is a really, really good ...
