We always see threads asking about what about this guy for this AI, or this guy + this guy for AI, but no thought is really put in place of what teams would want AI and what they might be willing to give up. So when my attempt to hijack a trade thread in search for ideas, failed miserably, I decided to start my own thread for it.

Now with Kobe Bryant being the big prize of the offseason, with it being unknown where he'll go if he goes anywhere, it's obvious that his movement (or lack thereof) controls some interest in Iverson. Also, you have to figure that, Iverson despite being one of the better players in the league, doesn't fit everyone's style of play, and not everyone would be willing to take on his personality.

So what teams do you think would seriously be interested in Iverson? This way we can go and break down the hypotheticals in what we can bring back in exchange for him.

Atlanta, Portland, the Bobcats and possibly a dark horse in the LA Lakers or Clippers could be an option

I think some other teams who might be interested are: Washington, Chicago, Phoenix, Golden State, and Seattle.

My darkhorse is Indiana, if they fall short of becoming Eastern Conf. Champs, and Reggie Miller retires they might want to fill out the SG from the outside.

EDIT: With GState, I thought of a trade idea that I forgot to mention. With Pietrus' improved play they're thinking about trading JRich, I checked it over on Realgm and a trade of Iverson for JRich and Nick Van Exel works. The main positive about that deal is that Van Exel's last year of his contract isn't guaranteed (or so I've read). So if we were to exercise the right to release him, we'd have more space to work with cap wise (though still not under the cap), and we'd have an improving wing player.

I thought about Seattle but they have too many guards and either it sounds funny but Flip or Ray is gone this offseason. Flip is not ready to be a point and his ability to score is being under utilized and Seattle knows this. I think that Golden State is a possibility as well as Chicago. I dont think Washington or Phoenix, Phoenix because of what Joe Johnson brings to the table on a all around type of situation his game brings tot he table

Richardson and Van Exel for Iverson is one I hadn't heard or considered. Golden state may not want to give up Richardson, but they would be getting a much better player. Richardson will never be that good, and may not ever quite make all-star level. Who knows? The 76er need rea;l athletes to compete, even if they have limited experience and skill sets. coaching will help here. golden state could beneif from a superstar, and Iverson is still that. In NBA terms, I don't think his "baggage" is all that much of a deterrent, given his play and warrior like effort.
