Everyone wants to know what Joe Dumars was thinking by bringing in Allen Iverson. It has already been widely reported the financial implications in regards to pursuing potential free agents like Lebron James, D-Wade or Chris Bosh in the future, so I won't even get into that. I am going to tell you what isn't being reported.
Simply put the Pistons as they were currently constructed era was over. They weren't going to win a championship. They weren't going to beat Boston. They probably wouldn't be able to beat Cleveland, Chicago, Toronto or Philly either.
So this is a no lose situation for Dumars. He is trying to catch lightening in a bottle. I studied Iverson's play last year and the one thing that was apparent was that he is not the ball hog he once was and was way more willing to share the ball. Also his shot selection and FG % improve greatly in Denver when he had other scorers around him. While Iverson is not a traditional point guard but the amount of easy shots he got teammates in Denver says a lot about his playmaking skills. He was not the reason they failed in Denver at least he attempted to play a little defense.
So the worse case scenario Iverson comes in and the Pistons remain the same, but the best case scenario is he energizes a team who has gotten lazy and complacent over the past couple of years and makes one last push for the Finals. We will just have to wait for the THE ANSWER.
I love it. AI is the man
Better move for the Nuggets
LOL at Dumars sweater
I think detroit came up big, they gave up chancey and mcdeyes and it looks like mcdyess is going back to detroit so basicly they gave up a good player in chauncey for a great player in A.I, Iverson is in another league when you compare the 2 and i believe that A.I has more assist and steals then chauncey has had in his time with detroit, and chauncey is a shooting gaurd not a point as the same can be said of iverson but yet iverson has better point stats so you go figure, one thing chancey can do is run a team with his leadership and big shots and i truely believe iverson can and will the same if not better!!!
Since A.I.'s contract end at the end of the season, and he doesn't care about money..do u see him signing wit the Celtics for next season?
he can dats gonna be sick but detroit will be champs dis yearcause they got ai and ai is sick.hem is good in nba 2k9 for ps2
