NEW YORK — I assume the completion (finally) of the Pistons-Nuggets trade required the four involved players to report to their respective teams, not just those who felt like it, namely Allen Iverson, Chauncey Billups and the illustrious Cheikh Samb.
Antonio McDyess — who was waived by Denver on Monday — did not feel like it.
Six years and several months after Nuggets owner E. Stanley Kroenke (all that's left of management from that period) approved his trade to the Knicks the 206-cm forward is still in a snit. So much so, the hypersensitive southerner with the ultra brittle sinew would rather retire than show up in Denver.
