The big news in the NBA today is that Allen Iverson has been traded to Detroit for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess, and young center Cheikh Samb.
Not that I pretend to know dick about the NBA, but it looks like the Nuggets wanted a purer point guard to feed Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith, which they’ll get in Denver native Billups. The Pistons, meanwhile, get the roster shake-up that team president Joe Dumars promised after last season’s playoff loss, plus the added benefit of $20M in cap space when Iverson’s contract ends in the spring.
See, this is why I hate talking about breaking news like trades and coaches getting fired (or stepping down like Phil Fulmer). I end up talking about actual sports instead of calling people gay or gossiping about arrest records. However, in a related story, the name “Chauncey” is pretty gay.

wow.
dumb move on the pistons part.
billups was the last clown on that team they should have gotten rid of..especially for allen ‘i take 50 shots and play no defense’ iverson
Now that the MLB season is over, the NBA rises to take its place as the major league sport I couldn’t care less about.
Feed the lo post for ya, guvner?
Otto, one more outburst like that and Phil Fulmer will eat you. He’s a gay carnivore you know.
I don’t watch basketball, because the players don’t have enough tatoos or arrests.
Beef Jerky Time!
“billups was the last clown on that team they should have gotten rid of..especially for allen ‘i take 50 shots and play no defense’ iverson” –
Gotta be honest. “I take 50 shots and play no defense” has got to be the worst nickname I’ve ever heard – narrowly beating out Ruben “I enjoy hitting women and raping the baby sitter” Patterson.
The real bummer is finding a new lycra-arm-sleeve in Piston Royal Blue.
The shitty part is that I just got an Iverson jersey about 8 months ago.
Who goes to these games?
