I personally think he can still play at a NBA caliber, but he is such a pain in the ass, I wouldn't want him on the Cavs even if he played for free.
I agree 100%.
Yesterday, or maybe the day before, on PTI Wilbon was pushing hard for Iverson to go to the Cavs. I just don't see anyway that would work. He is still a huge pain the ass, his world class quickness is pretty much shot rendering him useless on defense and making it harder for him to get into the lane, and his jumper has never been that great. It seems like a terrible idea all around.
UNLESS
He agreed to be a role player off the bench. I think he would open a lot of things up for the Cavs when LeBron's not in there. At times (and in spurts), he can create his own shots and he can still pass the ball pretty solidly. However, if he forced himself into the lineup then you have three big ego/lots of touches guys (LeBron, A.I., and Shaq) which would further stagnate the rest of the offense and further weaken the defense.
AND, I don't think Brown has the backbone to stand up to A.I. if he came to Cleveland which means he'd probably be starting. He would crush the Cavs' chances this year.
