    where ever iverson is headed, how much of an effect do you think it will have on the rest of the NBA and the playoff picture.

    Okay maybe you can choose a team and write the effect. I really wanna know what happens, if he goes to boston. Does AI/Pierce combo play good ?

    They say that guard/guard combo is not so good.

But nobody can say how good the team will be that he goes and the impact it'll have on the playoff race and the league because nobody knows what pieces will be missing from said team until a deal happens.

    It's going to have a domino effect across the league once Iverson is traded. A lot of names have been tossed around the rumor mill, so we could see multiple trades take place once Iverson is dealt.

    If he goes to a playoff contender in the Western Conference, I imagine another team fighting for a spot makes a move to stay competitive.

    You have 6 teams capable of taking the 8th seed in the West, Denver, Golden State, Minnesota, Sacramento, New Orleans, and the Clippers. If any of those teams land Iverson, it puts pressure on the other 4 to make a move.

    By the time he gets traded to the West, we will get pounded in the ASG. Not that it really matters anyway.

    ^ Reading that makes me wonder whether Iverson will play for East or West in the All-Star game. And also, if Kobe will get bumped out if Iverson gets traded to the West. And btw, can someone tell me who was more votes out of Iverson or Kobe because if Iverson has more votes, and if he gets traded to the West, Kobe might not be starting. I feel lazy. [​IMG]
