I read an article about Iverson and how he is possivbly on the trading block..

all i gotta say is.. Trade Iverson, you Lose the franchise, city's support, and everything that goes with that.

go ahead sixers. trade iverson. then trade the franchise to the gutter.

if it happens, you will see the franchise crumble and become the least popular team in the country and u wont be able to give tickets away.

According to the article you read...why would they trade Iverson? I don´t think it makes sense...

is the new coachn ot getting along with AI or something

Seems like a possiblity. I sensed something fishy when he went on the IL and said he had to get "everything right his in world"...maybe I'm reading into it too much though.

Anyone remember what happened when they traded Barkley?
Same type of thing, but possibly worse. I hope they don't do it. Iverson is Philly.

But on the plus side, most likely he will turn whatever team he goes to into a contender. And if he got traded to like...a Dallas or something, that would be like the Barkley trade in it's results.

Trade Iverson to Milwaukee. Him and Tj Ford would be the fastest backcourt in league history.

Unless you just stand back and let them shoot from the outside all game long.

its impossible to keep those 2 in front of you..they are each so quick with such great first steps..i just just imagine Ford dishing out 10 assists a game to Iverson.....

**Nevus** · 12-31-2003, 08:15 PM

You're suggesting a team start a backcourt of two players under six feet tall who can't shoot outside consistently (Iverson) or at all (Ford)? I don't know.

With the contract he just signed he would have to be traded for 2-3players. He aint going no where and the Sixers aint stupid

Their will not be any equal value for AI. Philly should look at themselves without him, and notice that everyone else in the entire organization is expendable.

Iverson is a franchise player. And those type of players are allowed to voice their opinions without being threatened. The 76ers would be crazy to trade him.

**Coatesvillain** · 01-01-2004, 05:53 AM

First things first, Randy Ayers has to go, I'll touch on that later.

People want to write in articles where AI's on the trading block, but I don't think that's fair for him when he decided to sign the contract before his option year so there was no controversy in whether he was staying or going. AI is a team player, and he hasn't complained in past years when the talent around him declined, and you'll never see him complaining about his teammates.

I can't stand when sometimes two and two is put together and people get 22, it looks like it makes sense, at a glance, but under inspection you see how crazy it is. Iverson is a tradable commodity, but the Sixers can't afford to lose him, with his play this year the Sixers also have a semi-tradable commodity in Aaron McKie (only semi because his contract), but I scare easily from trades because Billy King hasn't made a trade in his life where he hasn't found the need to include a draft pick.

Also, Ayers has to go because it was obvious from the beginning that there would be a discipline problem in Philly with him at the helm, and as it is he's lost the team, so unless a miracle happens he's a sitting duck. I hold no ill feelings towards Ayers, it's just he's been put in a seriously bad situation, having a guy from Larry Brown's staff take over wasn't the best solution to filling the coaching void.. at least that's what I think. And because there's locker room problems, Iverson has an asterisk next to his name where he's pointed at as being the ringleader. I say look a little closer *cough* Coleman *cough*.

I think the Sixers did give Iverson more talent to surround him this year than last, but having zero size is something that hurts us on the glass, and that's how a lot of these games are lost. If we lose Iverson, it's not going to fix anything, actually it'll make everything a lot worse.. because I highly doubt we'll have another great player land in our laps in the future.

No way Iverson needs to get traded, what the hell has he done wrong to get traded? If anything get rid of the coach.
