Few points on the Iverson/Miller trade

- Ultimately I believe the Allen Iverson/Carmelo Anthony tandem will wreak havoc on the league. However, it’s a bit odd that Iverson will start his Nuggets career with Anthony out of the picture. When Carmelo does return to the locker room it could be like the scene in the movie Rudy where Rudy returned from Notre Dame to find his ex-girl friend dating his brother. You know, because...never mind.

- Does Iverson become the third ranked guard in Western Conference All Star voting?

- I remember Andre Miller carrying an atrocious 2001/2002 Cleveland Cavaliers team to a 29-53 record. That’s even more of an accomplishment if you consider that the Cavs sunk to 17-65 the following season when they traded Miller to the Los Angeles Clippers. But now Miller has tasted the playoffs and will be 30 in the spring. He’s on a team that’s banking on hitting it big with 3 first round picks in the 2007 draft. Does he really want to be a part of something like that? What if the Sixers pull a Boston Celtics, circa 2001?* Eventually the Iverson talk will die down and people will investigate Miller's side of the story.

One other point. I’m watching Pistons/Cavs on TNT and Marv Albert and Doug Collins just had an extremely casual exchange that went something like this:

“Rahseed Wallace connects on a jumper and hears boos.” – Albert

“Rasheed is often not a popular man. Especially since the incident last year when he clubbed Ilgauskas with a forearm to the head and drew blood.” – Collins

* That's the draft the Celtics got Joe Johnson, Kedrick Brown and Joe Forte, which isn't worse case scenario until you factor in the Johnson trade.
