With his ball-hogging, 1/2 assed defense, and track record for skipping and/or bullshitting when it comes to practice, and talking the talk while limping, Iverson's been on track for making enemies for years. It finally happened when he landed on the Pistons. Rip's probably trying to save face but Iverson sets himself up for getting hate from teammates.

How is Joe D the problem. For 5-6 straight years they had a legitimate shot at winning the championship. Other than the Spurs, who can you say that about? The Heat had to go grab Shaq to do it, the Lakers had to pilfer Gasol and the Celtics had to steal Garnett and Ray Allen. The other GM's were given gifts, while Joe D had to be smart and piece together his teams from 2nd tier players. That's why he is a fantastic GM. You #^%$#^ from out of state just can't see it! Joe will be our GM for life!!! Mack, you’re retarted. How is Joe D the problem. For 5-6 straight years they had a legitimate shot at winning the championship.

He could have scored points so Lebron would not have to carry the whole load. AI on Memphis now so who cares, but I have no idea why the Cavs did not try the AI experiment.

He tried Iverson and Hamilton together. He also tried Iverson and Stuckey and Hamilton and Stuckey. He gave them all chances and the best combination over the longest stretch of games was Hamilton and Stuckey. You can't start Iverson if your team doesn't play well with him. The problem was trading for him in the first place. It screwed up their whole identity. They had been one of the elite teams because of offensive efficiency (low turnovers and good three point and mid-range shooting) and good defense. You had to be a really well rounded team or have a stud like Lebron to beat them. But Iverson, with his low shooting percentages and high turnover rate, was a horrible fit.

Dumars is not a good GM to me. I still don’t see why Stuckey should start over Iverson or Hamilton.
