i think it is a bit Josh -- Davis is not a career 6 asst/gm guy.  I 
think Iverson makes his teamates better, which as much as i liked 
Ricky he didn't.  Yes they may both dominate the ball but its -- if i 
can say this with a straight face -- a diff kind of domination?

Iverson moves w/ the ball while he's dominating it and will look for 
(and complete) the pass.  I don't know that Davis drew enough 
attention to ease the load on Jefferson.  I think Iverson would.

Name the best player Iverson's played with --- Much rawer, younger, 
greener versions of Jerry Stackhouse, Tim Thomas or Larry Hughes? 
Aaron McKie, Eric Snow and Mutomobo?  Webber w/ 1 knee?  Glen 
Robinson? Matt Geiger?

He's played with some real schlumps but got them into the playoffs 6 
of 7 years.

Pierce would far and away be the most talented teamate Iverson's ever 
had.  And vice-versa.

I'm still on the fence about it.  But i like someone's idea of 
getting back a pick -- but they owe ATL their #1 next year i think.
