Some teams are setting themselves up for the "2010 plan" when the most superstars in NBA history will be free agents. That is going to be a wild summer and the face of the NBA will change.
Iverson expires after this season (Billips has many years left), so this was indeed a salary dump by Detroit. Rasheed is 2009 also, so that's $35 Million off the books between the two.
Good move for Denver also since they already have a superstar and just need to add the right nuts and bolts around him.
