The thing you need if you're Philly is young players who are either already good, or that have a chance to be good, or some decent draft picks. You're obviously not going to get equal value right away.

The Boston trade makes no sense for either team. The players that Philly would be getting are nothing special and Iverson in Boston doesn't really help them because their good young players are still at least a year or two away.

The Clipper trade also makes no sense because the Clippers get Iverson to put with Elton Brand, which is a good one-two punch, but Philly gets two guards, one who is really old, and the other who is just a decent role player, and a guy in Corey Magette who is terribly overrated and thinks he's better then he really is.

The 3-team deal isn't bad, but Chicago will basically be giving up on a shitload of young talent to bring in Garnett and hopefully win a championship. If they do fine, but it's pretty risky at this point.. I think Chicago would be better off staying put with all the talent they have, in a couple years they coud win a championship or two regardless. They have immense talent that's still growing up.
