Monday, November 3, 2008  Changes coming to the Northwest
Division  We're about a week into the regular season and already
a blockbuster trade has been made. According to various sources,
the Denver Nuggets are trading Allen Iverson to the Detroit
Pistons for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess. Nothing
official yet, but if it goes down, there may be some changes in
store for the Northwest Division.  It seems like a decent trade
for both teams, but from where I'm sitting, Denver is getting
the better of this one. The Nuggets need a real point guard and
a defensive presence, which Chauncey Billups provides, and they
also get some toughness inside with McDyess. Iverson is in the
last year of his contract, and if the Nuggets thought they
couldn't or shouldn't re-sign "The Answer" then this move is a
no-brainer for Denver. They get an All-Star point guard and a
serviceable power forward for a guy they were going to lose
anyway.  For Detroit, they get some scoring punch while paving
the way for the Rodney Stuckey
