Would you want Iverson on your team?

• wes_mantooth

  

  Simple question.
• devil1197

  No
• wildcats20

  

  Absolutely not.
• wes_mantooth

  

  I personally think he can still play at a NBA caliber, but he is such a pain in the ass, I wouldn't want him on the Cavs even if he played for free.
• wildcats20

  

  That's exactly why I said no. I have no doubts that he can still play, but he is going borderline T.O.
• wizecracker

  no
• osu45804

  

  Nope, I'd still take Rondo
• GoChiefs

  

  Nope..even if he can still play..just not worth the headaches.
• hangonsloopy

  

  no way.

  What is up with all these one word answers? Man, we need to build up some debate and hear how people really feel.
  
  I sure as hell wouldn't want A.I. on my team nor would I want him on the Cavaliers. He seems to become a cancer in most locker rooms and he ruins teams. Adding Iverson would be like the Browns getting Terrell Owens, not that the Browns aren't already ruined without him. Iverson should have known what he was getting into before he decided to agree to a deal. Right now in his career he should be a veteran role model and try to help the younger guys on the team. I think it is time for Iverson to hang em up.

  Maybe if my team was terrible he would give me a reason to watch because he can still play. But, being a Cavs fan I think he would be more trouble then what he's worth.
• j_crazy

  

  I'm the only yes. If your team needed him, and he agreed to whatever situation the team needed him for, I'd love to have him. I don't think all those things are going to happen. HIs main problem is that he still thinks he has to be the #1 guy which he's just not. If someone got that through to him, he'd be an upgrade on most rosters.
  
  I'm hearing that he's contemplating retirement. anyone got news about that?
• jordo212000

  

  No way
• Heretic

  

  I'd love him on my team if he was willing to be a team player and accept whatever role he best fit into, whether it was as a starter or if it was as a dude coming off the bench for 15-20 minutes to provide instant offense.
  
  In other words, no.

  I agree 100%.
  
  Yesterday, or maybe the day before, on PTI Wilbon was pushing hard for Iverson to go to the Cavs. I just don't see anyway that would work. He is still a huge pain the ass, his world class quickness is pretty much shot rendering him useless on defense and making it harder for him to get into the lane, and his jumper has never been that great. It seems like a terrible idea all around.
  
  UNLESS
  
  He agreed to be a role player off the bench. I think he would open a lot of things up for the Cavs when LeBron's not in there. At times (and in spurts), he can create his own shots and he can still pass the ball pretty solidly. However, if he forced himself into the lineup then you have three big ego/lots of touches guys (LeBron, A.I., and Shaq) which would further stagnate the rest of the offense and further weaken the defense.
  
  AND, I don't think Brown has the backbone to stand up to A.I. if he came to Cleveland which means he'd probably be starting. He would crush the Cavs' chances this year.
• darbypitcher22

  

  No way. he's a cancer.
• hoops23

  

  Nope. Heard some rumors that the Cavs were inquiring about him, NO THANKS.
• wes_mantooth

  

  The thing about Iverson is, he will probably say the right things and someone will take a chance on him again, then he will bitch the first time he feels he doesn't get enough playing time.
• Trueblue23

  

  nope
• noreply66

  Maybe--if we needed the bench kept warm--lol
• Fly4Fun

  

  I honestly believe AI is as bad if not worse than T.O.
  
  He just doesn't get the media's scorn nearly as much for whatever reason.
  
  He's definitely the worst attitude in the NBA... yes, even including Starbury.
