I'm watchin SportsCenter and realize that the Clippers (who just got Blake Griffin for a small forward position; and is an offensive threat) are looking to pick up Allen Iverson from the Detroit Pistons.
I know the whole backlog of drama where Iverson feels he deserves a superstar paycheck but hasn't given superstar production. On top of this, he has to start wherever he plays. High risk-high reward type person. Almost like a T.O. So thinking that the Clippers are making a smart move in looking to him...
I think the team has a handful of offensive weapons. Now can they share to score? That is ultimately the question that has to be answered per this situation. Baron Davis pretty much runs point and plays at a high pace. A pace that their big investment (Blake Griffin) can hang with. Allen Iverson can hang with this pace, but the problem is......Blake; Can Score. Baron; Can Score. Now.... Iverson; Can Score. I'm not sure if I'm seeing this in the wrong light....
But the Clippers are making great moves to become relevant on the west coast. But..... stacking your team with offensive weapons can end up having you look like the Warriors which are in northern california. A.k.a. The same state (is this becoming the west coast style? concerning the suns played at a high pace, the warriors and even the trailblazers and hornets.)
Have the Clippers ultimately produced to be a left coast competitor for the playoffs in 2010, but lacks post-up ability? I'm interested in watching the Clippers, especially if they pick up Allen Iverson being that they are a heavy Offensive team now.
