i think iverson will be able to handle the playmaking in denver's system. it's a pretty simple yet effective offense. (run run run lob dunk run run run)

That's what I was thinking.
[QUOTE=GOBB]1. Greg Oden
2. Kevin Durant
3. Brandon Wright
Top 3 prospects. Thats positive right there my friend!
Dalembert = good young talent? :oldlol: You can have him for your first round pick. Want him?[/QUOTE]
Last year, the Hawks offered Al Harrington for Dalembert, and the Sixers said no.
Who knows - if Harrington was there, that would have been enough for the Sixers to get into the playoffs last year. Harrington would have been the number two option, CWebb would be no. 3, and Iggy would be no. 4. Korver would be great as a sixth man.
The Sixers would have had to get a center somewhere, but offensively Harrington would have been a great pickup for the Sixers.
But what is done is done.
AI and Carmelo on the same team?
WOW
There are gonna be A LOT of Turnovers...
They got the talent, but this team isn't going to the Finals or anything, and AI fans won't have any excuses for why he didn't make to the Finals more than once, because now he has good teammates

Hold on a second. Here's a good excuse. There are better teams. You say yourself that you don't expect this team to make the Finals. If his team isn't expected to make the Finals, then he doesn't need an excuse to not reach the Finals more than once. Iverson has never been on a team that was a pre-season favorite to make it to the Finals. Therefore he has already exceeded expectations.
[QUOTE=bringthetruth]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...[/QUOTE]
As difficult as this is to read, there's a great point in here: Will Larry Brown end up the coach in Philadelphia? It's been in every report so far that Brown has been a "consultant" to Billy King, and Brown's history with George Karl is well documented so there's a -very- open line of communication there with Brown sitting directly in the center. And Brown has a tendency of getting on the phone with his connections throughout the league involving trading.
This could also explain why New York was never considering trading for Iverson a possibility, even if they pulled a little salary dump or involved Marbury or Francis.. and why a Iverson and Webber to New York trade never came close to happening, even though it could've ended up beneficial to both teams. Dolan and Thomas dealing with King, who is being consulted by Brown.
But anyway.. if Brown ends up coaching Philly, who's next to go? Can Webber and Brown co-exist? How in the hell are they going to trade Webber if they don't? Lots more drama to come folks ;)
I doubt LB will coach the Sixers. Although, crazier things have happened. He never really moved his family away from the Philadelphia area. It's possible. LB and C-Webb wouldn't work very well. I don't know how they can trade Webber, but I wish they would.
...Sucks to be in the NorthWest Division...
Who's the number option for scoring now.
Man the nuggets came out of this one well, AI for andre miller and filler? no way in the world that wouldve happened if AI announced he wanted out. I feel bad for the sixers (fans and players equally) because its going to be a long long year for them. I'm kinda looking forward to watching AI and Carmelo team up should, should be an interesting combo. On the plus side for the nuggets as well AI's arrival means they shouldn't go on as much of a slant during Melo's ban

Package Sammy and Webber together. Willie Green and Webber. Bout it, Sixers wont package Iggy and Korver. First round pick and Webber? Eh
ESPN has their own photoshopped photo...

i think iverson will respect that ultimately this is carmelo's team. he will still get his shots but I think in this system they will be able to share the ball enough.
[QUOTE=Solid Snake]Who's the number option for scoring now.[/QUOTE]
Good question. Obviously Iverson is until Melo comes back. After that, it's anyone's guess. My first thought is Anthony because Iverson is the better passer and Anthony is the Nugget's Franchise. Although it might end up being Iverson because he needs the ball in his hands a lot to be effective, while Melo can play with a reduced role. We'll find out in January.

Billy King should be fired if he trades any more first round picks. I wouldn't mind trading Sammy and Webber. Maybe the Sixers can trade Dalembert after the lottery. We need to see if we get Oden first.

When Sixers were reading him in the offseason most fans were claiming "You're not gonna get equal value" citing various players of AI's caliber and deals that got done. The consensus here, reading articles on another sports forum was just that...you wont get equal value for a player with AI age and deal.
Fast forward to now...he's been traded and fans are saying "Sixers got robbed", "Denver got over", "I feel sorry for the Sixers Dre Miller + filler for AI?". :confusedshrug:
I'm confused you can get value for AI or you cant. Either or. You tell me what the Sixers can get for AI.
