Pistons Lied To Iverson

[Pugz]

Allen Iverson's business manager, Gary Moore, claims that the Pistons assured the guard a leadership role when they traded for him last November.

Obviously, that's not how things played out in Detroit. His new teammates were upset that management traded longtime point guard Chauncey Billups.

"Allen couldn't do anything about that," Moore told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. "When you lie to him, that affects him."

Moore added that Iverson sat down face-to-face with the Grizzlies before signing with the team.

"They were up front with him," Moore said. "When he sat down and met with them eye-to-eye, he said, 'I was just lied to, and it almost destroyed my career. What do you guys want from me? If you want me to just come here and sell tickets, you've got the wrong guy. If I come here, I want to win.' "

Who cares, if he was the team's "leader" I think we would have been even worse lol. I never supported this trade, I was only happy about the cap space and what could happen if he actually played good, which he didn't.
