    Could this be the final thing that makes Iverson want out of Philidelphia. First game after being knocked out of the finals, He doesnt show up till after tip off to the "fan appreciation night". I dont know what was with that but it doesnt look good. Any ideas for where he may go?
    Or who they will bring in to keep him happy?
    Ive heard Garnett but thats about it.

    I truly believe they will keep him but if they get a good enough offer i think he can be gone.

    Of course the 6'ers would keep him. Do you know the kind of money they make off of his image through ticket sales and merchandising? It's a hell of a lot more than they'd make off a player like Tim Duncan, or even Kevin Garnett. It's more of a question of whether or not Allen Iverson wants to stay in Philadelphia.

    I thought Iverson said he wants to stay a 76er for the rest of his career.

    I think that A.I. might get traded for Paul Pierce OR Ray Allen.

    I say he's got one more year as a 6er, if the team doesn't contend next year, I think Allen's done there, then will probably get shipped for some young guys and an expiring contract in hopes to rebuild.

    Yeah, thats one of my reasons why I think he`ll still be here. Billy King has nothing but respect for the guy, and he might want him to be a Sixer for life also.

    I really think he'll retire as a 76'er because he's said that a couple of times. If he ends up going to another team it'll be because of the GM. But the probablility of that is slim, because they still need A.I

    And we will always need AI, but it may be time to rebuild in Philly.

    They should give Webber, Dalembert, Korver away and get a solid, younger player next to Iverson. Cause imo, Webber sucks.

    its not really up to him though is it?
    unless he has a kicker built into his contract (which I doubt) then you go where you get traded... end of story.

    if they get a good enough offer, they will trade him... keep in mind, these are the same people that traded to get Webber (huge contract, bad knees and all).

    THe only equal trade for AI would be KG, but that wouldn't get Minnesota or Philly any farther than they are right now, they need more players

    Do you even know anything about the Sixers? An All-star caliber player, and 2 decent role players for a "solid, young player"? [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Not necessarily...the 76ers may be convinced to trade AI for McCants, another role player, and future first rounders. I actually think this is AI's faith.
