Iverson wants an extension?
To me, this is like him basically asking out of denver. They simply cannot give him an extension at this age and how their team has played since he joined them. I dont believe their team is going anywhere as currently built and they need to make drastic changes, and extending AI (who is a great player) will only be a setback and will prohibit them from any progress and will assure mediocrity.
I think they need to get younger, so trade AI for some picks and expirings and find a real pg to play with melo
How do you think it plays out?

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Yes they can, it can be a Vince Carter-like extension that pays him less at first, but more in the long run. This would provide some luxury tax relief and give the organization a bit more flexibility. This has been something that has been rumored as early as last year.
Now whether or not Denver should bite is something entirely different.

Don't know how to work it in order to make salaries match, but AI to Detroit for Chauncey and filler?
Not that it would ever happen, but it definitely benefits both teams. Billups gets to go home and gives the Nuggets a true, top tier point guard to pull their offense together. Iverson gives the Pistons a point guard who can be the featured scorer when the rest of the team is cold. They'd benefit more from that than from a distributor who can't create his own shot as effectively anymore.

I think Melo did worse. Yeah you can say he is still young, but he just fails as a leader. If I were Denver fans, I would be really sad to see my team's future laying on this guy's hand. Hopefully he can prove me wrong.
Otherwise, I say trade them both and start over again. Don't repeat the mistakes of T-wolves. If you can't get out of the first round for like consecutive 4 or 5 years, it's time for a change.

Denver needs a TRUE point guard who can run the offense properly and throw up some nasty lobs to the high flying bigs on the team
Also the Nuggets could use some more depth off the bench. Kleiza has been excellent and I think he'll continue to improve.
JR Smith disappoints me, it seems his work ethic is minimal, yet he has so many tools.

That deal would require AI for Billups and McDyess. Frankly, I think the Pistons get screwed. You end up with 3 guards in the backcourt who are really shoot-first, ask questions later, you become undersized and downgrade the backcourt defense, and you lose spacing, since both Billups and McDyess (who provides spacing from either the 4 or 5 position) are leaving. You also get a player making a lot more money, who is 2 years older (I think). I think its a losing proposition for the Pistons.

lol this is funny because it's exactly what they had before in Andre Miller.
