this trade may seem a little lopsided towards the heat right now, but from what i've heard it gets two things done for Philly. They will get 3 expiring contracts move two huge contracts, and acuire two solid young players that can be developed , and a late round first rounder.

bonerific
A.I. and Wade?
dont forget shaq
although his skills have diminshed...he is still a big man that demands attention, draws some double teams, clogs the middle on defense, and makes alonzo a high energy impact player off the bench instead of a "pace-yourself, captain kidney" kind of guy
i was thinking about a trade all along but i dont know who the 76ers would want from the heat...riley doesnt like his team right now and he has been known to pull off big deals
still...i cant see this happening

Shaq's minutes are down, he likes to take it easy during the regular season and step up in the post season, nothing wrong with that if it could give you couple of years more to your career. He's old, no doubt about that. But he really makes Wade a better player because of the attention.
The NBA is all about team chemistry and players that fill a role. Too many scorers is not good. I know that sounds crazy, but look at the Lakers when they had The Mailman, Kobe, Shaq, and GP. There are not enough shots to go around and players of AI and Wade's stature do not know how to become role players.
That would be one TERRIBLE shooting team.

It's a fair comment, and it applies to a lot of team sports, as long as team don't use it as an excuse. I think you need balance + chemistry.
I think the Knicks might be a better example than the Lakers that year, that was a good team, they beat San Antonio, or tied if there was a winner in that wonderful series. lost to a Detroit team, a great team with chemistry but hasn't won a championship since.
It could work out as long as Iverson was willing to average 15-20 points a game and accept his role as third option when the playoffs start - he would have to really play point guard for once - that lineup would really lack shooting though - your basically elimintating the three point shot - sure Walker would jack up 5 a game and make one.
And who wants Williams at this point - the guy has a serious tendonitis problem - and it gets worse every day he gets older.

Why is it all the kids like guys like Iverson and McGrady but don't like guts like Duncan, Brand and Billups?
Winning in basketball is not about who makes the toughest shot - it's about getting players easy shots - it about getting the ball deep in the paint to Shaq or kicking out to a wide open Brent Barry - it's not about a 5-11 guy hogging the ball and making a few spectacular shots with over Yoa Ming - that's makes great highlights and lots of L's
