you guys remember how fast iverson got tired at the all star game in denver because of the high altitude? He was breathing all heavy by halftime. I wonder if he will play fewer minutes because of that same reason.

I dont get it on phillys end ..They passed up on getting Sam Cassel and Corey Maggette and instead got j smith and A.miller...Im sure phillys excited about that one lol:rolleyes:
[QUOTE=AI Nuggets3]theres a good chance Iverson is now going to own the league.[/QUOTE]
He also has 15 games where he will be Denver's only star player.

This deal is better for the salary cap. Cassell and Maggette doesn't really help this team re-build. This team needs to dump salary. Add in the draft picks, and I like this deal more than Cassell and Maggette. Although Maggette would have been a great pickup, he's not better than Iverson so the team doesn't get any better.

They say it's something you get used to.. but here's a scary thought:
Imagine AI when he's used to Denver air, playing road games in our nice heavy air? *zoom!*
[QUOTE]6ers set up with three 1st rounders not bad. If you could add Durant or Oden (im sure theyll get a shot at one of them), a good point guard like Dominic James and a big man (maybe Hibbert from Georgetown?) theyd be lookin real nice.[/QUOTE]
Tyler Hansborough! Psycho T! Acie Law, lock em up. Hello!
*mocking the tj who's ya mama guy in the FF commercial*
on Allen Iverson. I thought Miami was in because of Allen's desire for a ring. Miami however could not assure 2 first round draft picks the Nuggets could offer Philly. Wow.
As exciting as the two will be they have only moved to contender in the West, and still are not in a position to topple either Phoenix, Dallas or San Antonio, and certainly not all three to get to the finals. Had he landed in Miami, the likelihood he would have contender for the NBA championship would have been nearly assured.
[QUOTE=A Roc 23]Nah that comparison is way off. Durant has so much more talent in terms of ball handling, athleticism, quickness, defense and obviously potential.
Like you said, his numbers are a lot better and he already looks like a leader at Texas.[/QUOTE]
My comparison is "way" off from Tim Thomas at Nova? Have you seen him at Nova? Dude was a star just like Kevin. He had a sweet stroke, put it on the floor, had good athleticism. Sporting News Freshman of the Year. Big East Freshman of the Year. Big East Third Team selection. He wasn't as much fo a leader cause they had Alvin Williams running things while the Longhorns lost Aldridge, Gibson, and PJ Tucker. Everyone was raving Tim Thomas to be a superstar with that talent, but obviously he hasn't turned out to be cause of ethic issues.
Not to say Kevin will end up the same, but you're going to say my comparison is way off when Ced compared him to an NBA legend? Kevin Durant is far closer to the scum Tim Thomas is now than he is to Dr. J. I suggest you re-evaluate your ranking.

Sam Cassell came out and told the Sixers it wouldnt be a good idea to trade for him. He doesnt want to play for Philly and while he would have to his heart wouldnt be in it. It wouldnt be a good situation for him. So yeah you cant believe they passed up on a guy who came out and said this right? :confusedshrug:
Clippers werent parting with Shaun Livingston either. Stalemate.
now, just becuz of that move, the lakers and nuggets will meet in the WCF.
This is great... the west just got even stronger.
[QUOTE=sixerfan3511]great trade! we get a pure pg, an expirer and 2 first rounders, great job billy king! good luck to ai for the rest of his career, thanks for everything[/QUOTE]
I'll go with this statement too. Good luck AI. I've always said Melo was my second favorite player today. AI is my first, Wish this would have happened in this city.
denver just got scary :D
KG needs to demand a trade to the Lakers......
I'm curious about the Nuggets for next season....
Three big men is too many....... They can't get rid of K-Mart(he may be an asset next season and the contract situation), so do you keep Nene for the physical rebounder or do you keep Camby for the fun and gun offense and rebounding ability. This will be the dilemna next season..... They need a 3-pont shooting presence that can score 10-15ppg in the playoffs. K-Mart with Nene or Camby can get more than enough rebounds..........
They need shooters.
1st of all this trade for philly makes sense because Larry Brown wants a pass 1st pg and will most likely be the head coach there to get back at Isiah being in the same division.
Denver is going to need to trade JR SMith for a point guard if this trade is going to work for them. THey wi miss Andre Miller play making, especially when getting the ball to Melo and AI and the rest of the team.
I would trade JR smith and Evans for Brevin Knight, Othella Harrington or Melvin Ely...
