Analyzing the Iverson-Billups trade

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Pistons are still a top contender in the East, and in some ways a scarier threat to the Celtics and Cavs today than they were yesterday. But will Iverson disrupt their chemistry (and patented team defense)? The Nuggets will be more balanced and deeper, but they are still looking at a No. 7 or 8 spot in the West.
