Thanks for making my point...Their star player Hamilton was not happy and Iverson was not a team guy so they asked him not to play. I never said Iverson was a problem in the locker room or off the court, I said he is not a team player, he only cares about Allen Iverson the player. Also, thanks again for making my point when I said they screwed themselves by trading for Iverson and when I compared the Nuggets record to the Pistons...
Getting a player...A TEAM PLAYER for the BAE...yeah thats a steal absolutely, but not when his name is Allen Iverson. Mo Williams is our 18/5 guy, we have LeBron James, we do not need the cancerous Allen Iverson.
Anyone who thinks we can straighten Iverson out and get him to understand his role is a joke, not even Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant can get through to Iverson. Im also readin Iverson still wants to be a starter...sounds to me like the same old Allen Iverson
Who ever said Iverson wasn't a team guy in his time in Detroit? Is Rip not a team guy because he said he didn't want to come off the bench? A.I didn't put himself in Detroit where there was always going to be a logjam of guards. He didn't ask to be traded from Denver where I'm sure he was happy being a starter. He was forced into a reduced role that he didn't want to accept because he has the talent to be a starter easily. He got traded because of his contract, it isn't his fault he was the wrong player in the wrong situation. Let's face it, Detroit wasn't going to do much with or without him. I think we all knew the Pistons screwed themselves by trading for Iverson. They could have traded Billups for Mo and they would have been just as bad off.
Obviously we've all read the report that says he still wants to be a starter, which is probably why he's trying for the Memphis gig. Whatever, I don't care. I didn't have my hopes up for getting him. I was simply saying that if he were to come here for the B.A.E and come off the bench, that would be a pretty good deal.
