worst. trade. evar.

I will never understand what goes through basketball execs minds. Andre miller, some guy with an expiring contract and two first rounders for Iverson. The player price isn't that bad, I don't watch much nugs basketball but Miller doesn't seem that special--the two first rounders seems steep, though probably non-lottery. OTOH--WTF is Iverson going to do on the same team with Carmelo Anthony? They're hoping to pair them up...??? What the hell? These are two guys who have like a 89% chance of shooting whenever they recieve the ball, regardless of where they are on the court. So you want two of the *exact same* player? With no point guard anymore?

What the fuck is wrong with these people? I really like Allen Iverson. He plays fucking hard and he gets to the rim consistently--on a team without a good scoring guard (think someone like the Bulls, who wouldn't trade for them since they're playing so well of course) he makes a ton of sense and would be integral. That's why it puzzles me that so many teams with scoring guards are reportedly interested, e.g. the heat for example. Why? There are only so many shots to be taken in a game. Two shooting guards doesn't help. Am I the only one who sees this?
