My point was 5 years ago, that 25 point/6 assists/2 steals game was able to carry a team...its not anymore...and he shouldn't be pampered like he can. heres a question for all the dime readers?

The way the Rockets are winning wihtout him makes him expendable. If he can stay healthy he'll be a great fit with that veteran squad. Plus Pop always looks for character guys. He can play the two and the three when Manu's comes in the game. He would also help with the scoring which was their most glaring weakness in this years playoffs.

People really need to stop giving him a free ride because he was great 5 years ago...he isn't great anymore... Yes he was a great individual basketball player...but last time I checked it was a team sport...stop defending the guy...you can watch the Jordan crossover highlight as long as you want, or whatever other highlight is your Iverson favorite, but the fact is the closest he'll get to being a champion is playing against them, not playing with them. He's not a winner, plain and simple. @ctkennedy

Try and get Chandler from New Orleans for Cheap (Amir and a pick?).... And one of Rip or Tay should go....yes they are both good players...but Tay is getting worn on with all these seasons...he's been to the conference finals every year since he's been in the league...that's probably what, another full season and a half of games right there? I'd love to see him go to Washington for Caron Butler...sure the contracts probably don't match and Washington probably wouldn't do it...but Caron's fire and intensity is something the Pistons could really use... Prince is a great all purpose defender, but he can't "lock down" much, and his offense is good, but he's not gonna take over a stretch... I say hang on to Rip, he can still shoot it up...Plus him and Stuckey make for one big backcourt. 6'4" PG and a 6'7" SG is nice to have. So if you had: Stuckey Rip Butler Boozer Chandler tell me that team wouldn't make noise....thoughts? Joe D will make something great happen...

So if you had:

Stuckey

Butler
Boozer
Chandler

tell me that team wouldn’t make noise….thoughts?

Joe D will make something great happen…
