Trading for A.I. a mistake?
I haven't been following the Nuggets all that closely this season, but they seemed to be doing better before they traded for Iverson. Did they really make themselves better with the trade? I thought they had a good thing going with J.R. Smith playing sidekick to Melo. I never though Iverson was a very good team player, as he needs to ball in hands too much.
What do you guys think? You've probably seen a lot more Nuggets games then I have.

Re: Trading for A.I. a mistake?
It's not a mistake.
We've never had a full, healhty team together since the trade, and taht has made it difficult to gel.
That being said, I think that Dre was possibly the glue that kept everybody ticking, i fyou follow me.

Re: Trading for A.I. a mistake?
Well, I'm not liking George Karl's "just let them play" strategy. They need some plays.

Aren't they like 2-6 when they play together? They also need better defense.

I really hate their offense...Although I am not sure you can even really call it an offense.

I knew this kind of thread would be good in the future, now the duo have become the dynamic duo.... could become bigger.

Well, we'll see. A seven game win streak doesn't mean they're great.

Re: Trading for A.I. a mistake?
Its not a mistake trading for A.I. did you see how well the chemistry was between melo and iverson?to me iverson is an underated passer,and they will be better next season because iverson and melo are very familiar with each other Iverson is a great addition to the nuggets team.

Re: Trading for A.I. a mistake?
not at all...the spurs were just a level ahead of everyone this year. even the mighty suns couldnt stop them( minus head butts, body checks, and achilles attacks)

Re: Trading for A.I. a mistake?
It was a risk that they decided to take, and honestly, they didn't give up THAT much for it. I don't know how much those two LATE draft picks they gave to the 76ers would have helped their team in the future, even if the draft was "one of the deepest ones ever".
Lets face it, Carmelo Anthony and Andre Miller weren't going to come together and win an NBA championship this season, nor would they have won one with the players they had arround them in the next couple of years. Miller and Iverson are also the same age pretty much, give or take one year, so it isn't like they were giving up youth.
As for Smith being the sidekick... Did you watch the playoffs, and listen to Karl at all during the playoffs? Smith has fallen out of favour with George Karl and will probably have to fight to start a game next season. Also, his car crash history doesn't help him either.
Although, the poster posted this long time ago and I don't know why it was brought back up, so the original posters obviously were talking about Smith when he was shooting high percentages and going off for 15-20 points a game, but oh well, I felt like commenting on it.
The Iverson/Carmelo combination wasn't a terrible idea, and the Nuggets actually look like a pretty decent team heading into next year. They even gave the Spurs a little scare.

Talent isn't everything; team chemistry means a lot more then total talent and the Nuggets had great chemistry before the trade.
