Pistons formally introduce Iverson to team

Basketball Betting Lines

11/04/2008 - Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A day after being traded, Allen Iverson was introduced as the newest member of the Detroit Pistons Tuesday at a press conference.

"I gotta look in the mirror at myself and think of things that I can do to help this organization win a championship," Iverson said. "Maybe there's some things I'll have to change, but I'll do whatever (coach Michael Curry) wants me to do on the basketball court."

Iverson was acquired Monday in a trade that sent Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess, and Cheikh Samb to Denver.

"The biggest thing about being traded is you know somebody wants you," Iverson said. "The Detroit Pistons wanted me. That's the best thing for me and my family, mentally. The biggest thing to think about is how the fans are going to react to it, and that's what I'm looking forward to."

Iverson is averaging 18.7 points and 6.7 assists through three games this season. The 33-year-old is in his 13th NBA season and has compiled 27.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest over 832 career games with Philadelphia and Denver.

After a 10-plus year stint with the Sixers that was at times electric and mercurial, the club's first-overall pick in the 1996 draft was dealt to the Nuggets in December, 2006. He appeared in 135 games for Denver over parts of the last three seasons, but the 1997 rookie of the year and 2001 NBA player of the year did not come close to replicating the success in Philly, though teamed with Carmelo Anthony.

Iverson leaves Denver after posting 25.8 points, 7.2 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game in his short stay.

Billups, in his 12th NBA season and seventh with the Pistons, holds averages of 12.5 points and 7.5 assists in two contests this year. The former third- overall pick of the Boston Celtics has recorded 14.8 points, 5.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game over 760 contests with the Celtics, Raptors, Timberwolves and Pistons. He was an integral part of the Pistons' 2004 NBA championship team.

The 32-year-old Colorado product also played two prior seasons (1998-2000) in the Mile High City.

The well-traveled McDyess posted 7.0 points and 4.0 boards through two games with Detroit this season. He spent his first two professional campaigns with the Nuggets from 1995-97, then came back for four seasons from 1998-2002. Over a 14-year career, the Mississippi native has played for four teams and compiled averages of 13.4 points and 7.7 rebounds in 805 games.

Samb, the Lakers' second-round pick in 2006, saw limited action in four games this season.
