NBA Roundtable on the Iverson Trade: Part 8

MJD: Alright, let's get the final words in here. Mutoni, Go.

Mutoni: If you're an NBA fan and aren't excited to see how this new-look Nuggets team will do, then you need to go kill yourself. Like right now. Seriously.

The Big Lead: I'm not ready to hand the Nuggets anything - when was the last time a major, mid-season deal like this resulted in an BA title? - but in the run-and-gun West, just about anything seems possible. And you better believe the folks in Cleveland will be looking to swing any big deal possible this summer if Anthony and the Nuggets leave LeBron as the only one of the 'Big 3' without a title.

MJD: The issue that will play out over the next couple of months is now Iverson and Carmelo can play together ... and I think they both want to win badly enough, and I don't think any of them have out-of-control Kobe egos. Great basketball players want to play with great basketball players. I think this will end up working beautifully. And it will be Carmelo taking the lost shots in game, and Iverson will be fine with that.

Shoals: Best things to happen to the league since 2000: 1. 2003 Draft, 2. 04-05 Suns, 3. Lebron's playoff run, 4. This trade.
