Iverson to Houston for Francis? You GOT TO BE KIDDING
In the Philadelphia NBA 10, as well as other newspapers, a rumour has been swirling about the trade of Iverson very soon.
The "hottest rumour in LA during AS Weekend" has been Iverson possibly being traded.
Let me say this. IF Iverson is traded, I and probably 90% of the entire City of Philadelphia will never watch a game again. The entire franchise will crumble.
Philadelphia will become the Atlanta of the North, with attendance lowest in the league.
Jersey sales will sink, and the hottest jersey will not be an Iverson.
The entire city will become even more unhappy with the sports scene.
Billy King will be taken out( those Philly fans are crazy I am telling you).
STEVE FRANCIS? Give me a freaking break. This can't happen.
Iverson even said "I would like to end my career as a Sixer"
I am praying!

This very trade happened in the Virtual League on BBB.net. The virtual Rockets fans were quite pleased.

I dont know if Iverson is the point guard the Rockets are looking to get in exchange for Francis.

That trade would be awesome for Houston. They would win the championship if they got Iverson. Could he play point guard?
HOUSTON
pg - Iverson
sg - Mobley
sf - Jackson
pf - Cato
c - Ming

Iverson's probably more of a point guard than Franchise is. And at any rate he's a better Shooting guard than Francis and Mobley put together.
I'd be so pissed if this happened. Why would Philly do this to their fans? Is it a salary cap situation?
WHY? Someone break it down. Explain.
If Iverson left I would never watch a Sixers game again. Effigies would be burned. Poo would be left on many a doorstep.
**** Billy King for this even being a rumor.

Nope.
Even HOF Chuck was traded.

Francis is NOT an equal value to AI in a trade!
The Sixers would be making a terrible mistake if this was to take place.

You are understanding what I am saying.
EVERYONE else is missing the point. This is more than just fantasy crap. This could be the fall of the sports scene in the city. This could be the destruction of one of the most famous teams in the NBA.
This can't happen!! It Just can't!

Chuck? Dude, you do not live in the city. It is Iverson's city. Trust me on this one, Barkley isnt worth half to the city as Iverson. AI Rebuilt this franchise. He should be the player/ owner, that is how much spirit he has brought back to the city.
You can't imagine unless you live near the city or goto games.

If the trade does happen, though it seems unlikely, I doubt it would be straight up. If it does happen though, I expect Stevey Franchise to put up some very big scoring numbers.

I said the same thing when someone brought up a Francis and Taylor for Wallace trade. I was then refuted and told that the Rockets have a huge 6 million dollar trade exception from dealing Glen Rice to the Jazz. I think that would apply here thus making the trade work too.
