Iverson On His Way to Denver

Andre miller is a legit player, Joe smith is not. i wasn't arguing about what they got, just the fact that i think they could have surrounded iverson with better players, and won. not 30 something Chris Webber on bad knees.

Isn't it crazy how Joe Smith and Allen Iverson were back to back #1 draft picks, and now a decade later they're part of a trade with each other?Though Smith is clearly an afterthought here. His position isn't PF, it's "Money off the books after the season is over"

Sixers need to stay bad enough to stay in the Greg Oden sweepstakes.

iverson is the leagues leading scorer, and they basically got 2 stiffs for him. this was a lousy trade from the sixers viewpoint. all they did was free up cap space

Actually Anthony is just ahead of Iverson.

Anyways, I don't think it's a bad deal for the Sixers. Andre Miller has led the league in Assists before, he's no stiff and is a good replacement at PG (won't be as good as Iverson obviously but he's probably the best PG that a team would give up). Joe Smith is a good rebounder and his contract expires this year so they can just cut him without a cap hit. They also get 2 lower first-round draft picks to go with the very high first-round pick of their own because they're so bad this year. That's 3 first-round picks in a VERY GOOD DRAFT.

It's a great rebuilding move. Good deal for both teams...Denver needs SOMEONE to score while Anthony is suspended for almost 5 weeks.
