It's a pipedream. Golden state isn't parting with Biedrins only to be stuck with Adonal Foyle playing center again.

**Update, while typing this, I just heard on the news that the Warriors offered Biedrins, Baron Davis, and another player for AI and Steven Hunter.

I personally wouldn't trade Biedrins. He's one of their young building blocks. Dude can score, block shots, and has a high FG%.

I don't think they'd bench Webber though. Unless you want to go huge and have

Dalembert/Biedrins/Webber/Iguodola/Ollie or something

Or you could bench Webber, but I mean, his contract is larger than Dalembert's so that would be even more money on the bench.

The Heat have now been labled a "dark horse" in the race for The Answer. It would apparently look something like...

James Posey & Jason Williams & filler(?)
for
Iverson

What's the latest Sir Charles? cant seem to find anything definitive. I agree with Biedrins not being available although it would be ironic as the sixers mulled over taking him in the draft. If they were to get him it would probably mean that Dalembert wouldnt be long for Philly, then of course if they got Oden it would throw the whole thing upside down again, that would be a problem you'd want there.

The source on the realgm Sixers board who everyone seems to really believe is saying the status right now is either Denver or Minny, with Denver ahead at the moment bc Minny is still having trouble finding a 3rd team to partner up with. He also said Miami isnt even being considered didnt say they didnt make an offer but did say they werent being considered.

Ive been watching what he says over there for prolly the past 4 days or so and everything he has said has panned out pretty well. He said the Kings were involved then reports came out about the Kings, He also mentioned GSW be4I saw it mentioned anywhere, and he knew they had both pulled out a good time be4 anyone reported that. It just seems like anything ESPN or any papers announce he has already told a day in head of time. So far I truely think he does know somebody.

Also an interesting piece of info.......

Vegas betting lines for where Iverson lands

2 to 1 Minny
2 to 1 Indy
3 to 1 Boston

Im surprised by Indy and I wonder why Denver doesnt have a line.

I'd be happy with AI in Denver or Minnesota. I think he'd be successful both places. I'd like to see him with Kevin Garnett more than anyone else, but I wonder if he would be more successful in Denver.

i know someone who works inside the sixers front office and they cant tell me NOTHING because different things are being discussed on an almost hourly basis,so your RealGM(LOL) source is either billy king or a liar

Jeez, Miami is already an All-Star team as it is. That's crazy!

Would be interesting to see if Jason Williams and Chris Webber still have any magic left. Probably not now that Jason Williams is a bit older and Webber can't jump. Those two were a highlight reel the way they played together. They sure couldn't win any serious games, but they were the most entertaining basketball you have ever seen outside of a Harlem Globetrotters exhibition.

The last thing I would believe is you know anyone over the age of 16 years old and since there are no wiz kids working for the sixers im gonna have to say NO. All I know is this guy said the Sixers were looking at Henderson in the offseason a week and a half later they signed him. And so far everything he has called out about the sixers during this trade time has happened so until he says something I think is foolish or doesnt happen, I am going to continue to believe the guy. That is my choice and btw he just got back from lunch and said he will have some news in a minute, Ill post what he says.

Here is his post..........

There is light at the end of the tunnel...its almost over.

Miami's late interest is postering by Pat Riley to get someone to overpay for AI..or at least pay more than they are currently offering.

Minny has been the most active caller this morning..trying to get a three way together before its too late but its not working.....no one wants their bad contracts.

Chad Ford was dead on in his chat today when he said that Portland and Charlotte are the third teams in most scenarios that are concocted. Almost every scenario the Sixers are picking thru this morning has one or both of them involved.(Dallas the other team mentioned as third party) Sixers would be getting Magliore and/or Brevin Knight in most of these scenarios.

Denver even has floated some offers involved that include TWO first round picks.

The following teams are all out of the running for AI:
IND
BOS
GSW
LAC
SAC
MIA
CHA
MIN

Which leaves.....one team.....the soon to be winner of the AI race...the Denver Nuggets. The details are not finalized.....and may change in several variations that are being discussed......both 2 and multi team trades...but your winner is the DENVER NUGGETS, barring a last minute breakdown.

I was told a trade of AI to the Nuggets WILL happen by end of day tomorrow.

The variations.....could be a combination of the below..but this is what I was told is involved.(could be some or all...lots of variables right now)

1 to 2 first round picks.
Joe Smith and/or Eduardo Najera
Andre Miller or Brevin Knight
1 of Magliore,Croshere or some other expiring contract(still trying to find Nene 3-way opportunities)

Some, but not the front burner variations, include Samuel Dalembert.

None of the variations include Camby,JR Smith or Kenyon Martin.

I will take 5 minutes of questions...before I have to run for now.

**darth-horax** · 12-14-2006, 10:32 AM

I want AI in Denver...but I want to keep Dre/Najera.

I don't think Dre will be included due to his salary. Philly is trying to cut salary, and taking on Dre won't do that. Joe Smith is coming to Philly, and all eyes out here point to Nene going to Portland, with Magloire going to Philly since his contract expires next season.

I think that Nene MAY end up in Charlotte as Brevin Knight and more draft picks go to Philly.

Denver doesn't play rookies anyway, so I would NOT be surprised if both of our first rounders get traded to y'all.

Imagine this lineup:
Andre Miller
Allen Iverson
Carmelo Anthony
Eduardo Najera
Marcus Camby

Wow!

Karl was reported as saying that AI would play starting 2 guard with Miller running the show.

How do you think he'd adjust to taht? Has he done that out in Philly?

I personally like AI much better as a 2 gaurd, as long as the point gaurd running the show isnt Kevin Ollie so if Miller isnt involved in the deal he is def not a Kevin Ollie and imo would fit in perfect at the 2, that lineup looks pretty damn sick tho the only person I dont know much about is Najera. Im just glad to hear if AI does in fact go to Denver Camby isnt going anywhere. I love Camby as a Center to me he is what Sammy could of been and never molded into.
