I'm in a deep fantasy league (30 teams, 10 man rosters), and was sorely lacking at small forward. Thus, I traded Joe Przybilla away for Mike Dunleavy. I generally stay away from trades involving injured players, but figured I might as well try to get value from Przybilla while Oden is out.
I'm interested to see how Chauncy Billups does on the Nuggets. I recorded the game last night and will likely watch it shortly, but I think he will provide a nice presence as a genuine point guard on a team that is a bit lopsided with scorers. It's for this reason that I don't mind Iverson leaving the team either. His ball hogging and huge shot numbers can be beneficial on a mediocre team like the Sixers, but on a more complete team, I think he hinders more than helps. Thus, I think it was a nice trade for the Nuggets; not as much for the Pistons.
