Potential Iverson Sign and Trade Destinations
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
Now that we know Denver must trade Allen Iverson, here’s a list of potential ’sign-and-trade’ opportunities:
Cleveland - My personal favorite, A.I. and Lebron could play together in a way that Melo and A.I. never will. Lebron is a much better 3pt shooter and passer than Melo, opening up a lot more scoring opportunities for A.I. (and the rest of the Cavs) that simply don’t exist in Denver. Additionally, if Cleveland had A.I., their offense wouldn’t grind to a halt when Lebron went to the bench. Finally, A.I.’s defensive liabilities won’t be as significant in Cleveland as they are in Denver. Denver would gladly take Delonte West back as their PG of the future, and Cleveland has some attractive expiring contracts. Cleveland throws in a late first round pick and we’ve got enough to make a deal.
The Knicks - Anyone else think that A.I. would thrive in D’Antoni’s system? (more…)

It’s a shame that Iverson - one of the greatest small guards to ever play the game (if not THE greatest) - has to leave Denver. The, however, writing is on the wall - the Melo - A.I. experiment has failed. Here’s why Denver’s got to trade A.I.:

I’m a baaaad Nuggets fan. I don’t focus on the things they do well - transition offense, creating turnovers, their ever-improving inside-out game, their ability to play through injuries, or the fact that on any given night they can beat any team in the NBA. Instead, I focus on the fact the Nuggets are lazy (like the dog in the picture).
Minnesota doesn’t need Marko Jaric (but Adriana Lima does). His contract is expensive ($25 million left including this season). By the time the rest of the T-wolves hit their stride, Jaric (currently 29) is going to be too old to be of any use. Finally, Jaric’s not really known as a locker-room leader. He just wants to show up, do his job, then
