<link>http://www.statenews.com</link>
<description>Joe Dumars has done it again. With the trade of Denver Nuggets All-Star Allen Iverson for Detroit Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups, center Cheikh Samb and five minutes with Antonio McDyess&#8217; bought-out contract, the Pistons general manager has pulled off another risky swap that not only keeps Detroit in the NBA title hunt, but also positions the team for success in the future.</description>

<description>As a big Pistons fan I am really upset. Trade Chauncy for Iverson. Iverson doesn&#8217;t even go to practace. And McDyess. You can&#8217;t blame Chauncy for playoffs last year-he played thru injury against Orlando-Iverson-Really???? Not watching anymore&#8230;.</description>

<description>Big Pistons fan my ass. More like huge hypocrite. The Pistons lose two players for a career all-star and you won&#8217;t watch them anymore? Could you be a bigger bandwagon fan?

	Iverson doesn&#8217;t practice? You&#8217;re going to let one YouTube video beat out a careers worth of stats showing he&#8217;s one of the hardest workers in the NBA? The guy&#8217;s averaged 42 minutes of playing time a game for the last 15 years. That&#8217;s insane, no way around it.

	People like you complained when Dumars dumped Stackhouse, Wallace and now Billups, and we&#8217;ve seemed to be just fine. I&#8217;ll take him as a GM over you as a fan any day.</description>
