Offensive improvement of someone who shoots 10% less from the field. I would actually like AI in San Antonio in his mid 30's when his contract is done and he won't make astronomical money or need/be able to dominate the ball. But I wouldn't want him in SA at the expense of Parker (plus Ginobili or a lot of other players).Quote:

Hell, give Duncan an Allen Iverson...
Just saying, it's interesting to think about. I could see things opening up a lot more.
What I can tell is that if KG wants out of Minny, that could be his shot. Neither will get to play for a better team, but both seem to want a change of scenery.
Parker + Manu would be too much, I agree. I'd rather give up Manu, but then the downgrade at SG is greater than the upgrade at PG.
AI is my favorite point guard. He's a warrior. But i doubt if he fits working with the Spurs system. There's too much discipline here. And AI sometimes likes to have his own way of doing things, such as practice time.
Just heard from the president of the Sixers on Sportscenter clip "Iverson has probobly played his last game as a sixer"
Wow, what a shocking comment...
Unless Duncan is gone at the time AI is available... dont fucking fix what isnt broke... fuck AI (for now).
Other then that, fuck ya, I'll take his ass any day for the Spurs if he can adjust his attitude. I still want this team to be more physical, just not that "gangsta" :lol
Yeah I think there is a deal done and they just are holding him out of playing right now until it officially goes through.Quote:

Yeah thats the feeling Im getting.
Very very intrigued to see who he goes to.
Wouldn't be shocked at all to see Dallas get him.
Probably Minnesota (not for KG).
if so, then Minnesota jets right back to the top as a Western conference contender.
Hell, no.
Not even for cheap. We don't add 12th guys on our roster who we think might mess up our chemistry. What makes you think Pop would add a guy he has to pay superstar money and is a chemistry killer?
Doubt it.Quote:

At this point I hope he's realised having coaches he 'likes' isn't necessarily best for his team record-wise.Quote:

Signed Glenn Robinson who was supposedly a chemistry killer.Quote:

Glenn Robinson wasn't paid superstar money by the Spurs.Quote:

Nope, but the point is, he was a chemistry killer.Quote:

The Spurs have gone after chemistry killers before too.
I just don't think the contract AI has meshes with the 08 plan.
Like Squid said, he wasn't paid superstar money.Quote:

Name one teammate of his who went to the All-star game while being a 76'er.Quote:

Thats been part of his problem he hasn't had any good teammates, and they haven't acquired any.
I think though Dekembe Mutombo did though.
Exactly.Quote:

I'd do that trade so fast, your head would spin.
Philly can get far better than that, and they'll still be selling AI cheap. If that's the package they got for the guy, there'd be riots in the city.Quote:
