Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:14:28 +0000 http://need4sheed.com/?p=1882#comment-23586 the more i think about it, the more i like it... they have a surefire 20-30ppg (a troubled spot always for them-- see Natalie's mention of "one of those scoring droughts" that has plagued them forever... i.e., 2005 finals) they probably got the best out of billups and mcdyess (neither can score like AI). AI is still a good defender on a defensive-minded team (not to mention league leader in steals) really, its it as a vote of confidence in both stuckey and amir/max i am a little worried about the big men. mcdyess was the msot reliable for big men of anyone on the 'stones. now they have hot-and-cold sheed, amir and max who are still developing (max will never been a go-to guy and amir is still so young) and kwame brown who can't be relied on to play more than 10-12 productive minutes a game. still, the heart of the trade is CB for AI and I think most anyone would do that straight up. the more i think about it, the more i like it…

i am a little worried about the big men. mcdyess was the msot reliable for big men of anyone on the ’stones. now they have hot-and-cold sheed, amir and max who are still developing (max will never been a go-to guy and amir is still so young) and kwame brown who can’t be relied on to play more than 10-12 productive minutes a game.

still, the heart of the trade is CB for AI and I think most anyone would do that straight up.

I can't believe this, I feel like I've been slapped in the face, what a shock to potentially lose Chauncey and Dyess. I love Dyess, this is upsetting.

Honestly I am on the fence with this one. You take away 2 players that have played their hearts out for this franchise (guys with a Team first mentality) and then bring in "practice......we talking about practice" Iverson. But the writing was on the wall. So...where is AI going to play? Point guard? Isn't he a better fit for shooting guard? But who is going to be the big man that comes up and fills that void Dyess leaves behind? I think this move means that Joe D wants to win this year. And shake the lineup a little. I hope it works out. I hope AI can buy into the team concept with the Pistons. I would expect Sheed to be on the phone with AI already paving the way. So wow...that sucks that Chauncey and Dyess are gone. Nope just Chauncey and Antonio. Honestly I am on the fence with this one.

It's not a done deal. Still has to be approved. But it looks like Billups, Mcdyess are off to Denver. I think there is someone else in there as well. I am not sure.

Chauncey fits the system here perfectly and had great chemistry with all of his teammates. Maybe 6 years ago this team could have used Iverson, but not now. No, no, no, no, no, please no!
