I think Dumars made the deal because AI and Sheed's contracts expire after the season and the Pistons will have shitloads of cap room. Those guys may be playing this year to get one more big contract in free agency which is another problem for Curry.
Dumars was pissed when they lost in the playoffs last year. He may be real pissed this year.

I just read a very interesting article about Dumars making this trade to get further on the good side of agents Leon Rose and William Wesley, who represent Iverson and Lebron James. The thought is they are doing the agents a favor to make Iverson happy, and that will push them to the front of the line when Lebron becomes a free agent...
