I LOVE the move frankly, because I am an Iverson fan. Say what you want about him, but he plays hard and plays to win. He has shown that if you surround him with talent, he is capable of giving the ball up. Both in the Olympics and in the all-star games, he has shown that he doesn't need to shoot first to be effective.

I would take Iverson on my team any day. I firmly believe he is at the point in his career where scoring titles don't matter to him. He'll shoot still, but I think he knows he has to defer to give him his best shot. I thought his best fit would have been with the T-wolves frankly as Garnett as about as unselfish a superstar, outside of Nash and Kidd, the NBA has, but I think between Melo and AI, the desire to win will trump the desire to lead the league in scoring.

Besides, the move takes sense for the right now for Denver. Losing Melo for 15 games could cripple their playoff chances and for what they gave up to get Iverson, I'd have made the trade too. Other than Miller, every other player was at best average and in getting Iverson, you're getting one of the ten best players in the league.


All of that being said, I don't see the Nuggets in the same league as the Spurs, Suns (15 wins in a row, wow) or Mavs, but this could save their season from perhaps falling apart and get them in the playoffs which is all you ask. From that point, it's a different ballgame, but to win it, you have to be in it.

Take care all.
