An indictment of Iverson, more praise for Billups:

A.I. had difficulty keeping pace with journeymen such as Mateen Cleaves. In a new Denver system dedicated to straight-up defense, this was a fatal flaw.

…they could clearly see what had to be done before the rest of the league realized Iverson had slipped.

The Nuggets needed to go find a legitimate starting point guard…

…the Nuggets instructed Warkentien to make a fresh call to Detroit, in hopes the possibility of a trade with Indiana might entice Dumars, long a fan of A.I.’s tenacity, to bite on an even bigger deal.

Truth.
