Actually, I won't be shocked if I see him traded to Nets, for Vince Carter... Although I don't think that is a good move for 76ers.

Denver (AI and Ollie for Nene, Dre Miller and Boykins) seems perfect (at least in my opinion) for now...

Tha Freak · 12-08-2006, 08:47 PM

Finally this organization will start cleaning the slate. I wish best of luck to AI where ever he ends up. Hopefully a ring is in the near future

Pain5155 · 12-08-2006, 08:56 PM

rumor is AI headed to the knicks for robinson, crawford, and jerome james.

Tha Freak · 12-08-2006, 09:01 PM

lol @ the Knicks rumor. Anyways, it was reported earlier that Allen Iverson is not going to be headed to Denver, because George Karl isn't interested. From what I have heard, Allen Iverson's team of choice is Minnesota. There, he will have the opportunity to team up with Kevin Garnett, and maybe make one last push for the Championship. If AI does indeed get traded to Minnesota, we may see Randy Foye in our package, of whom Billy King was really interested in the NBA Draft. Also, we may be recieving guys like Blout, Hudson, or Jaric to match the salaries

Boston
Among the teams interested in Allen Iverson, the Nuggets make the most sense. (Nam Y. Huh / Associated Press)

The Celtics badly wanted to match him along side high-scoring swingman Paul Pierce, who has essentially been going it alone with a bunch of very young players not ready to compete on a nightly basis in the NBA. Sure, Danny Ainge got him Wally Szczerbiak, but he's erratic and a one-dimensional scorer. Szczerbiak is fine as your No. 3 guy. Not No. 2.

So here's what they do. Offer up aging Theo Ratliff's swollen salary before retirement, tough young interior player Al Jefferson, exciting young point guard Sebastian Telfair and a No. 1 pick. It gives the Sixers two young players to build around and another first-round pick, while the Celtics get a relentless competitor — precisely the type of player the diehards could wrap their arms around.

Minnesota
Of course, that's only if the Celtics get there before the Timberwolves. With an offer of Randy Foye, Ricky Davis, Troy Hudson and Eddie Griffin, the Sixers would get plenty of help for their struggling backcourt and another shot-blocker in Griffin. It also could help facilitate a multi-team swap with a number of movable contracts — which would most likely have to be the case in this scenario.

Atlanta
The Hawks are a logical option, if only because Atlanta is where Iverson makes his off-season home. The problem is they don't have much to move because their contracts are so small, with the exception of brilliant young swingman Joe Johnson — and the Hawks aren't moving Johnson. But an offer of disappointing young swingman Marvin Williams, Speedy Claxton, Josh Childress and a couple of other small contracts could work for the Sixers. Nobody could use the boost at the gate more than the perennially poor-drawing Hawks, no matter how much the numbers are up this season.

Denver
The thing is, there is a team that makes the most sense of all, and that's where the Nuggets come in. Carmelo Anthony is already a huge fan of Iverson's from their time together at the 2004 Olympics. 'Melo, who's developed to the point where he's leading the NBA in scoring, just needs a superstar partner to take this team into serious contention. A combination of Andre Miller, Joe Smith, J.R. Smith and a No. 1 pick works very well for both teams. There is no better sports town out West than Denver, with its young and furious crowd.

Add in the intensity of coach George Karl, whose successful handling of Anthony and Gary Payton far overshadows the issues he's had with Kenyon Martin, and they move right into contention with the Spurs, Mavs and Suns to be the West's elite team.

In other words, the Nuggets are the best fit for A.I., leaving us with the question of whether or not owner Stan Kroenke is willing to cough up $60 million for The Answer.

Is it just me or I found it completely unprofessional for Snyder to undermine King and Cheeks n public the way he did on ESPN

Benis007 · 12-09-2006, 12:06 AM

I would not put Vince Carter in the same class as AI. But, now you know what it felt like for Raptors fans. At least AI gave 100% every night.

Dude, do you even watch any of the games or do you just post stuff here all the time?

AI was interviewed during the game by the ESPN folks and he said he expects to be playing in Minnesota soon. Ed Snider confirmed AI wants to be traded and confirmed AI will probably never play for the 76ers again as well.
