The Curse of Mr. Big Shot

In no uncertain terms, the Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess for Allen Iverson trade was the worst in Pistons history.

Trades are an integral part of the professional sports industry. They can be used for a multitude of reasons. However, as in life, sometimes the best intentions yield the worst results. That was the case when Joe Dumars traded Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess to the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson only two games into the 2008-09 season.

Chauncey came to the Pistons in the summer of 2002 in free agency.
