Denver Nuggets to Reportedly Trade Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups

Denver Nuggets star guard Allen Iverson will reportedly be traded to the Detroit Pistons, according to reports on Monday.

The Pistons have have reached an agreement in principle with the Nuggets to acquire guard Allen Iverson in exchange for Detroit's All-Star guard Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess, according to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.

Young center Cheikh Samb, who was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers for the Pistons with the 51st overall pick in the 2006 draft, will also be going to Denver in the deal.

The trade has not been finalized, but sources close to the process told ESPN.com that a trade call with the league office is forthcoming to make the deal official later Monday.

Billups, who starred at the University of Colorado, will return to his hometown of Denver. His playmaking ability is better suited to complement Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony than Iverson was.

The Nuggets failed to surpass the first round of the playoffs with Iverson, Anthony and Marcus Camby. Camby was traded to the L.A. Clippers prior to the season, leaving a whole in the defensive middle for Denver. The passing and scoring ability of Billups and the down-low presence of McDyess will be an asset to Denver.

While a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, Iverson was close to being traded to the Pistons in 2000, but the deal was not finalized. In 2006, he was then sent to the Nuggets.

Iverson, who turned 33 in June, is in the final year of his contract at $20.8 million.
