Joe D says: AI to Miss the Rest of Season

VIA Pistons.com Text Message:

The Pistons have announced due to problems with Iverson’s return from injury, he will miss the rest of the season.

———————————–

What’s Going On World?

See this is what I’m talking about. The truth shall set you free!  Allen Iverson will miss the last two weeks the rest of the season INCLUDING PLAYOFFS!

Hopefully, Joe D can work some magic on AI’s head (and back.)

I just talked to Deven and he brought up a good point.  Joe D is showing future superstar players that he can handle difficult situations gracefully.  This is important if you want Chris Bosh, Amare or any other superstar in the near future.

Joe D… you are always two steps ahead!

Wow, so much drama. It’s good to be done w/ AI and his 40 FG% as well.

Hopefully after we pick up Bosh, etc., we can forget this awful transitional season.

yesssss

At least I don’t have to hear about how he hates coming off the bench and has that as an excuse for playing horribly.

The reason he’s averaged so many points all these years is because he’s taken so many shots. He’s never shot well.

Let’s hope they don’t make an AI one, haha.

THIS IS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!

@Ryan Thanks for the link! Those videos give me chills! AI’S video would be ancient lol! They probably threw away the 2001 NBA Finals footage! (That step back jumper where he stepped over Ty Lue was sweet tho!) It’s been all down hill since that day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grXws5m11SA&feature=related

I think Im going to write a post about those Where Amazing Can Happen Vids!


Richard April 4th at 1:22 pm

if we can land boozer than get chandler from new orleans it would be like a modern sheed and ben combo!!!!!!!!!!!!!


John April 4th at 10:18 pm

YUCK RICK! Boozer gets injured way to often and Chandler the same…. Plus Big Baby Ty Ty is way too Skinny Skinny!


Steve April 4th at 10:39 pm

I really think that Detroit is gonna go for Millsap or Boozer come summmertime.

If Boozer can stay healthy, then I say go for it.


John April 5th at 12:03 am

Joe D is smarter that getting an injury prone Boozer. Much smarter than that!


Steve April 5th at 4:26 pm

True, Joe D is smart, but he’s going to spend that money on big men. Who else is available?


John April 5th at 4:33 pm

Steve my boy, You make someone available that’s unhappy like Bosh or Amare! Come on get on the bandwagon!


Steve April 5th at 5:09 pm

haha, I’m on it, I’m on it! Just concerned is all.

Bosh will probably be available this summer. No way Toronto will want to lose him for nothing in the summer of 2010. Apparently Golden State and Chicago are the frontrunners for Bosh as of now.

Maybe something like this?

As for Amare, I want to wait to see how that eye injury is coming along first.


John April 6th at 9:39 am

@At Steve Naw you trade them AI give him a max contract because Toronto would be willing to pay it. He would sell tickets there!


Steve April 6th at 3:00 pm

But we can’t trade AI though! He’ll be a free agent, and honestly, who’s going to want him after this season?

Toronto is going to want young frontcourt players (Maxiell, Kwame, Amir), draft picks, expiring contracts (Kwame), and probably either Tayshaun or Rip.


John April 6th at 3:47 pm

@Steve We can trade AI just like we traded GRANT HILL. AI is still our free agent! Toronto is dumb. They want to the Phoenix of the North. Run and Gun. AI would be perfect for Calderon and Marion.


Steve April 6th at 5:35 pm

Ahh, a sign-and-trade. Gotcha.

But I still can’t see AI making more than the midlevel exception this summer. Toronto is dumb, but not that dumb…I think.
