I wouldn't do it.

You take on Stackhouse's injury problems plus his big contract, so you're really only doing Hughes for Iverson.

Instead of just throwing out trade ideas for AI, why don't we try and break down what teams might want Iverson and why? And then think about what we could possibly get back?

how about a C-Webb for AI trade idea?

If you throw in Shawn Bradley and the rights to Sharone Wright I'll think about it

Iverson is such a trouble maker that as long as he stays a sixer the team will never get over the top. My vote is trade him quick and not for more trouble makers.

With Jim O'Brien now the head coach, don't look for AI to be traded anytime prior to the end of next season. I think it's possible to build a team that can get over the top, if AI is willing to take a backseat to a younger star like Reggie Miller, and David Robinson have done. That way, would allow Iverson to prolong his career, that's a big thing he'd have to do.

For the Sixers team with Iverson to do anything, he has to buy into the program. Let's see what happens.

I agree with Phanatic that any new coach is going to want their chance with Iverson.

Iverson has some flaws in his game, and still is immature in some ways, but he is easily a top 10 player and recent MVP. The Hughes' and Stackhouses" of the league just don't command that type of player. And those two in particular are the start of the new breed of selfish , low IQ basketball sense(not personal IQ) player who get numbers in a losing cause. Ricky Davis is the worst of these types. Williams in Memphis used to be, but has improved.

Webber, although not a favorite of mine, would be a closer talent. Bibby is the clutch guy on that team. Webber is a Garnett without the heart in some respects.

As I said before, I like Szezerbiak, Battier and Rahim as possibly undervalued talents who might fit and just might be attainable (one, not all three). with the little trade bait the 76ers have to offer. Rahim, Thomas, Dalembert, Jackson is a nice front court rotation.

With the exception of Miami, who just won a game, these final eight playoff teams are out fo the 76ers league at present. They ned to upgrade, for sure.

truth

what coach in his right mind would want Iverson??Its career suicide....

Get used to AI being a sixer for life...but dont worry,with his off season "conditioning" program and fearlessness on the court his body will be shot in less than 2 years....

It's good to see you're concerned about the Iverson situation, but he's not the first deemed "headcase" that a coach wanted the chance to coach. Others include Nick Van Exel, Glenn Robinson, and Antoine Walker, and if you ask me despite my faltering opinion of AI, he's a better talent than all three of those players.

Also, there's no guarantee he'd be a Sixer for the rest of his career, there have been some really awful contracts that were moved when no one thought they could be. I don't see why this would be any different.

Well, Iverson, when healthy, is one of the most dominant players in the league. Iverson's fearlessness is also what makes him on the the most popular players in the league. I admit that Iverson's body takes a lot of bashing, but I am willing to think he can endure the injuries and paly for many more years.
