A bit of an odd deal in my mind. Denver wasn't looking too bad this year, especially with Nene coming on, Anderson possibly playing the PF sometimes with Martin, and Iverson and Anthony shooting everything. Perhaps not a championship team, but a very very good one. Billups is a tier 1 PG, but I don't think they needed him over Iverson. With the guy's expiring contract, I think Detroit did fairly well in the deal, but still, it's a no-win for both teams. Just a really odd trade.
