Yeah, Jake's last two posts were kinda stupid. I didn't even dignify them with a response.

Have you even remotely paid attention the past two years? Chauncey's been a ghost come clutch time in the playoffs.

And I'm not sure why you think Iverson and Rasheediot won't get along. Rasheed is universally loved by his teammates.

I am not saying they will not get along, I am saying I wouldnt want both of them on my team together.

As a long time watcher of the Denver Nuggets and a long time fan of A.I's game, I have to say I like the deal for both sides. It kind of hurts to see one of my favorite players leave the nuggets, but looking at it from a realistic stand point, their in more of a rebuilding stage as oppose to trying to compete for a championship. The fact that they gave up Marcus Camby for seemingly nothing in the off-season let you know that they weren't committed to winning right now. I do think this deal to get Billups will benefit Carmelo because Billups is a player that doesn't need to dominate the ball, and this may be the chance that J.R Smith get to show that he's more than a bench player who can get hot and now, there's no doubt who's the go to guy on the Nuggets team. It was a great to watch Melo and A.I on the same team, but yet it was strange. I would say that Iverson overall was the best player on the Nuggets team, but Melo was/is definitely the franchise player. It was a crazy dillema to watch on a night to night basis on who should be the go to guy down the stretch. I will say that Billups better get ready because all of the best PG's reside in the West.

On the Detroit side of things, you get a dynamic player the likes that you've never had during your ECFs runs. I know the Pistons have made the ECFs several years in a row, but don't forget the Pistons were down 3-2 against a 76er team without an Elton Brand type player, and they were looking very old (especially Billups.)

One thing that is killing me about this thread, is the perception that Iverson has lost a step. What you guys are doing is using his age as a detriment against him. As a person who's watched him the last couple of years in Denver, Iverson hasn't lost a step, maybe a bit of his speed, but even then he's more efficient now then what he use to be with the sixers. This will be by far the most talented, most defensive oriented team that he's been apart of, and yes Iverson can play the point effectively. Lol at some people suggesting that he should come off the bench. Do you guys even watch basketball to say some B.S like that? Wow.

A! Freakin MEEN!

Why are people taking this personal.

seriously I don't get what you are trying to imply

I guess you are mistaking heart, desire, being emotional on a hardwood with sth else

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

I didn't take it personal.. the two posts he made right in a row didn't deserve a response because they made no sense. He qualified his statement about AI/Sheed getting along, so he's not an idiot.. but if he was thinking that AI and Sheed would fight or something (as the post seemed at first), he's an idiot. Nothing personal hah...

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

This is interesting. The Pistons play a fairly versatile offense, and Iverson adds penetration and transition offense that they've never had. Iverson>Stuckey>Maxiell>Tayshaun will provide a very tough alternate lineup. It's really about him moving the ball, not becoming an offensive black hole, and playing the kind of defense that Chauncey could play. Chauncey was clutch, but Iverson has been equally as clutch, and he has played on great defensive teams in the past without ruining them.

This is interesting for Detroit. Rip plays off of the ball, so I don't think he and Ivey will clash at all offensively. Should be a great trade for Denver though. I don't know if it really changes their seeding, but it's possible that Chauncey elevates them in defense, ball movement, late game performance and temperament.

It was called a question, first off

2nd, I know AI can pass, but its not his most effective game, which is likley something the team will definitely need from him, so the jury is out.

All of this come off the bench talk is nuts because its not going to happen.

Im curious as to how he and Rip will mesh moreso than he and Sheed.

They are all in they're 30's I do think they will be mature enough to handle it and works toward ANOTHER championship. AI will most likely come into that team as the "new guy" admitting that it's Sheeds and Rips team. Look these guys want a championship...I think they're maturity will actually mesh well together.

If not

SCREWED

Re: Iverson to Pistons for Billups/McDyess

Man you guys get really riled up in here!

I don't see what is so off with calling Iverson a shoot first PG. Hell, an argument can be made he's not a good PG and would be a better SG, being that Marbury is very similar in that he is a shoot first, pass second player at the position.

Then guys make it personal... wow.
