NO!

An Allen Iverson deal must bring talent/youth/expirings in it.

It must COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY revive us from the disgrace that has been Billy King.

If he performs another CHARLES BARKLEY. Not only will the entire city of Philadelphia be outraged, but I personally will see to it ED Snider gets a note of actual intelligence.

First of all no one is trading two picks in the 20's and a lotto pick for a top 3 pick where the top 3 (and probably 4 and 5) are guys who wouldve gone 1 in the last 2 drafts very easily.

Second of all with this trade the 76ers are going to have their own top 3 pick in the draft as long as the ping pong balls go the 6ers way.

Now that is true. Your draft will be fun to watch.
I'll be envious, but Karl doens't play rookies, so trading the pix make more sense.

**Gtown07** · 12-15-2006, 09:37 AM

you're not going to be envious if this deal goes through. You're going to like giving away the 32 pick for a Hall of Famer and Finals MVP.

I meant during the draft...Haha! I love watchign the draft, but hate when we dont' ahve a pick.

I like this better for all parties.

Dre Miller
AI
Melo
Nene
Camby

Wow! The only problem is that Denver would be so tied up with salaries that it woudl really, really hurt them down the road.

It's also possible that Philly could trade their abundance of pix to go high the draft and get a top 3 pick, which would be sweet.

An awesome lineup on paper. But Denver would have to hope...

1) That Camby stays reasonably healthy
2) That Nene gets his mojo back
3) That they really have the legs to run everyone into the ground, because in the half court that backcourt could get muscled and posted up mercilessly by Kobe, McGrady, Richardson, Pierce, etc.

the issue with the pick is that both would be in the 20's and we're not getting anyone in return.

this board is way too anit-ai. he's a freaking hall of famer and icon treat him like one.

Everyone is offering some stupid trades (not saying this denver one is stupid) for AI not knowing that he is a future hall of famer... if Philly hadnt sat him down and made it seem like okay we trading this guy and just shopped him around while he was playing, I think they could have gotten a super star or an all star type player back for AI. The man is still one of the top players in the league, 1st in scoring and 10th in assists. Look at his stats, MVP numbers THIS year... this is while he is 'old' or has an 'empty tank' as some articles ive read have said.

Forget youth and talent. If we don't get a deal done real soon, we might have to settle for a couple of expiring contracts and nothing to show for the AI trade other than some cap space next yr.
Other teams know BK is desperate to deal him, so we may see another Vince Carter trade in the making.

And look how positive Toronto is right now (though they did change management). I never expected to get a lot back for Allen, rebuilding isn't about that. You start fresh. Getting a few young players would've been what I wanted, but I'd rather get cap space, then another all-star level player, because then we're just in the same position.

Tha Freak · 12-15-2006, 05:55 PM

It was a stupid move for Billy King to hold Iverson out from playing, and for Ed Snider to publically announce to the media that Iverson will indeed be traded from the team. This gives off the impression to other teams that we are indeed desperate to trade Iverson off, which means teams will be giving us low-ball offers since they know that we must get rid of AI. If I were Billy King, I would shop Iverson around the league while letting him play on the court. Although there will be a risk of injury, I think it's just a risk you should have to pay

**Coatesvillain** · 12-15-2006, 05:59 PM

Teams offered lowball offers in the offseason too when it was only rumored that Iverson would be traded.

I think it was a bad move by Snider but it didn't hurt that much. No one was offering a superstar in the summer, that's why Iverson was on the team at the start of the season.
