The only reason anyone would want Iverson at PG is size. He is not a PG...at all. He dribbles too much time off of the clock, and does not make intelligent passes. (ie he dribbles into the lane and hand the ball to someone)
He is an amazing scorer from the guard position, but PG's are not supposed to dominate the ball, they are supposed ot distribute it...and thats why he is a 2. Andre Miller is 10 times the passer of AI, plain and simple. I loved watching his heart and his tough play, but I was happy about the trade as it helped move the franchise forward.

Well, at least you say that the trade was bad for Denver, which it was as long as AI's game is not modified a little by designating him the point guard. What really drives me up the wall is when Nuggets fans are dumb enough to say that AI can't play the point, yet at the same time they say the trade was a good trade for Denver. Now that is just plain dumb.
But keep in mind that anyone can look at any shooting guard's playing style at any time and say "That guy would not be a good PG playing the way he is playing." And during almost this whole season, AI has been the shooting guard, not the point guard. Is there even one shooting guard in the NBA right now who is playing the way a point guard should play? Why should Iverson be the only one judged on point guard skills by how he plays shooting guard?
