Detroit and Denver have agreed in principle to a trade that exchanges AI for McDyess and Billups.
I don't know, this is a weird one to me, especially given that rumours are that McDyess will retire rather than play in Denver. AI changes the dynamic of Detroit, but I don't really think he makes them better, and from Denver's point of view, I think this is basically a salary dump.

That's probably why they gave up Billups for AI. Maybe Denver was asking for another veteran player along with Billups, so Detroit decided McDyess is retiring anyways so why not. Denver just needs to win this season.
