I'm not even going to touch that "win" comment.
But didn't we just have two small guards with Harris and Terry? Let's not act like it's a foreign ideal. I know Iverson isn't the defender Harris was, but we always lost the point guard matchup defensively.
Offensively is where you'll see the advantage. When was the last time we had a great scorer who could bail us out at the point guard position? Nick Van Exel. We never replaced him, and we've needed "him", philosophically ever since we've lost him. I don't know how far we expect to get with a bunch of frontrunners who don't want the ball or constantly make chokeish moves down the stretch. I've been wanting AI as a Mav for years now.
