I'm kinda happy about this.
Chauncey always wanted to go back to Denver.
And A.I. is a great addition. (kinda)

are you high
did you see the numbers that chauncey has compared to ai
why do you think they traded 3 guys for ai
2 decent players and a bench player

i think joe dumars did a big favour for chauncey

Did anyone see the press conference with Allen Iverson today.
I was hilarious cause someone asked him about "Practice" and he did the whole thing again.
Pretty funny.
He actually seemed like he wanted to be here.
Can't wait.

11-04-2008, 04:26 PM
yeah i want to see them and the nuggets play and see who benefitted more from the trade

11-04-2008, 04:27 PM
^ same
i think the pistons will get McDyess right back, cause they are gonna drop him in a month
Baker5
11-04-2008, 04:29 PM
true hes only good with the piston offense which is slow down and do what they do
while devers is run and gun and get it done
The Pistons are gonna dominate now. They have one hell of a line up:
Iverson, Hamilton, Prince, Wallace, Maxiell and a decent bench.
I don't know how well he can fit in with the team though.
Also I read on ESPN that all this was a part of a crazy plan by Joe Dumars(Piston's president) to get Lebron James when he becomes a free agent in 2012.

I also heard that about Lebron in '12
That would be amazing. But a lot of money.

11-04-2008, 04:52 PM
yeah that would be like the celtics last year but 5 times better
theyll go 82-0
manram:
Yeah, if he doesn't win a championship these next two years, I think he'll go to Detroit. He's gonna get a lot of millions, kinda like how much Alex Rodriguez got when he went to the Yankess.

I know, it's gonna suck for my Hawks. We're pretty good ourselves though.

or Lakers get home court and the game goes to 6 am in the morning
would be insaneness (wow actually a word)

When I was in school everybody started to go crazy once it was announced. :p
I really don't think it;s a good trade, and I don't like Iverson that much because of his attitude. I don't think he's that great of a player, either. I suppose we'll find out.
I live in Michigan so it is big news, I guess.
murphmanny
11-04-2008, 05:56 PM
i think he's cleaned up his life a little
if you watched his press conference, then you will see
he said that he won't do the same mistake twice, and he has learned from the past
i think he will be a great contribution to the team
he even said that we will try is very best every game to win a championship
i'm from windsor canada, so it's kinda big news for me too

I'm a piston fan and I feel this was a dumb trade. Now A.I. is a better player than chauncey... By himself. Chauncey pulls teams together, A.I. Is more of a ballhog superstar type.
And what happens when they go on a 5 game losing streak? My bet is that A.I. Will say something like this "well our bench needs to step up" or "our team needs to pass the ball more". I just don't think he's fit for the pistons.
Also do you guys remember last year when the pistons wanted carmello but the nuggets said no then denveroffered a.I. And the pistons were like no way. What happened? Why do they want a.I. Now? And why did they wait untill 2 games into the season?
murphmanny
11-05-2008, 04:31 AM
we will see
i though that it was a good trade
we'll see in the season and when we go on a 5 game losing streak
i think he is more mature now

i say it was a good trade for denver but losing three good players/championship expertienced players for denver is good but detroit getting allen iverson with great players it will take time again for detroit to be good agian
johnkaiba
11-05-2008, 03:08 PM
McDyess is probably gonna have his contract bought out by denver so he wants to sign with detroit so he'll probably head back there.
A.I. has realizied that he doesn't have many games left in him so I expect him to do a lot for his team to try and get that championship.
We need a new thread to discuss other baskeball related things such as:
The Hawks being undefeated so far and by beating 3 teams that went to the playoffs last year. Tonight we just took out Chris Paul and the Hornets, in their home. They're usually great at home too, not tonight though!
