Nuggets Reject 2-For-1 Trade With Pistons
Posted by Stephen Rhodes under Main
??????????????????????
While it is common knowledge that the Denver Nuggets are in trade talks with the Detroit Pistons, a Pistons source has told the Detroit Free Press that any trade that goes down will not involve forward Carmelo Anthony.? Any trade that happens between these two teams have these goals in mind: for Denver, it will hopefully bring Chauncey Billups back to his home state; the Pistons, on the other hand, want to correct their messed-up 2003 draft and pry Anthony from the Nuggets.
To add to this trade scenario, ESPN.com reports that the Pistons have offered Tayshaun Prince and Billups to Denver for Anthony; the Nuggets have countered with an offer of Allen Iverson or a package featuring Marcus Camby.? But the Pistons are only interested in Anthony at this point.? Whether anything comes to fruition is purely speculative at this point; stay tuned to Slam Dunk Central for future developments.

Motown has to add “MO” to this deal in order for it to take place.
Pistons have to add Jason Maxiell or Amir Johnson/along with their late 1st round selection.
Billups is on the downside of his career and Tayshaun is not exactly a scorer at the 3-spot.
