Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

I'm saying this is a different NBA than 01. I'm saying that I don't care that this is the best squad AI's been a part of. He won't propel this team further than Billups could IMO.


What exactly has Ivo achieved since 01 playoff wise.

Yah that's what I was saying, they get 30 million off the books.

It wasnt all on him though...

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

Guys stop giving me AI's assist numbers. Look at him play every night, he's not a point guard.

Why you think they fing have Anthony fing Carter starting? Granted AC's had a decent start.. AC should be no more than a backup at the very best.

And stop with the 01 Sixers comparisons too. That was Ivo in his prime, 7 years ago

He's not your 'prototypical' PG, but he can move the rock around and dish it. Stop discrediting his playmaking ability, and stop w/ the dictating of what we can/can't say about AI...You're not some endless book of basketball knowledge so just get off yourself. There's been nothing wrong w/ what I or Fluent, or anyone else for that matter has said.

Ppl will never get it. Iverson has never been a PG. The disrespect for the guy sickens me. Some think it is still 98 or something.

He can play point, but I agree he's not a point guard. Yea...Ivy is a mature and mild-mannered guy who gives it everything he's got night-in, night-out.

What had anyone on the 04 Pistons achieved prior to that year. Their starting line up 3 journeymen, a rookie, and a chucker until they won the chip.

he played for a bad sixers team for years, what's your point? and denver was OK with him but that team was not crafted by a genius like larry brown. obviously AI is at his best on a team with tough, rugged defenders and scrappy players, not a run and gun team who plays zero defense.

detroit aquired a game changer who will score twice as much as chauncey, and surround him with tough guys. this is the best possible scenario AI has ever been in, and eclipses the 00-01 teams

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

Not sure about this one. Seems unnecessary for the Pistons to make a deal like this.

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

And you're saying Stuckey is?? He's the only other guy that would be considered to start, and that's not happening.

whose the last "past first" PG to win a championship?

Rondo?

He had three hall of famers on his team?

Isaiah Thomas??

Pass first pg's are the most overated thing in the NBA... ill take Iverson over Steve Nash 7 days a week and twice on sundays.

[GSW]

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

sorry psy,

meant to quote ex carraba and his ridiculous comments on "pass first" point guards.

why does Iverson need to average more assists then he does currently?

he puts the ball in the basket, gets to the free throw line, etc etc.

I dont get it.

Co-sign...Carraba should just go muck it up in the LAL team thread, and talk about L.A.'s chances should Bynum's knee balk-out.

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

Wow at JB. Settle down man. No need to make this personal.

And GSW I didn't say Ivo wasn't a pass first point guard, that was Dre. I said he wasn't a point guard period.

? What's the point of this question. They are the Atlanta Braves of the NBA, not too shabby.

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

What in the world are the Pistons doing? they lost in this trade imo.
