Coach Mike D'Antoni said Iverson would have come in and played 40 minutes a game, taking playing time away from others who need to be on the court to continue their growth.
"We just didn't think right now we wanted to have that dominant force on the team right now," D'Antoni said.
I mean this quote just pisses me off. You really might as well say "We dont want to win." Which i would have NO problem with if...
a) we had a young, promising PG
b) we had a 1st round draft pick
but we dont have either. so why? What the #*+% is the logic to not get a "dominant force" like iverson. It really mind boggles me. I mean whosegrowth is he stunting, Duhon? I mean who would you rather give 40 minutes to Iverson or Duhon?? !*#!@, that is a !*%+!#@ ******ed statement by D'Antoni.When you are 2-9 with no 1st round pick, and Duhon starting at the point... why WOULDNT you want a dominant force like Iverson to play 40 minutes a night andgive it his all?!
