    Last year Motumbo-Iverson duo sparked at all-star game and weeks later 76ers traded McClouch for Motumbo. I don't remember whether Larry Brown was the Eastern coach... anyway 76ers found that Motumbo's D was perfect for Iverson then initiated the trade. Result? They made their to the Finals.
    Rudy gets almost no chance to coach the western team this year. But CD and he probaly will keep an eye on the all star game to see which guard(PG or SG) would work better with YaoMing. Nash, Payton, Kobe, Biby... then throw out a big trade...

    Whatever.... I'm quite happy with the Franchise-Dynasty duo.

    The 76ers traded Mutumbo for MacCulloch, not the other way around. If the Iverson-Mutombo tandem was effective, it was because they were already teammates. They traded Dikembe and some change for Todd and Keith Van Horn. It had nothing to do with the all star game.

    This is probably gregonomics' Dr. Jekyl side.

    I had been talking about the trade before the trade you were talking about.

    I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about last year's all star game. Mutombo was traded by Atlanta with Roshown McLeod to Philadelphia for Theo Ratliff, Toni Kukoc, Nazr Mohammed and Juan "Pepe" Sanchez on 2/22/01, which was right after the all star game 2 years ago.
