I expect there to be a huge fall out from both sides, much like there was in Orlando when Mcgrady was traded, after AI is officially traded. It's no secret that the fans have been kept in the dark about whats been going on behind the scenes between AI and management these past few years.
This happens every time a franchise trades their superstar, but even moreso when the player requested the trade. It's all a pathetic attempt to make themselves look like the victim when, in reality, their front office incompetence is the main reason for this.
The insenuation is that AI CHOSE not to practice the other day, he says he was TOLD not to practice. Hmm, something smells funny here.

If I was AI I wouldn't practice either, Billy King, managment and Ed Snider all suck.

They have the 2nd highest payroll in the league thanks to horribly overpaid role players, not to mention Chris Webbers lofty salary. They can't blame the teams' woe's on Iverson cause he's as productive, if not more, as he's always been. Why is it not clear that the supporting cast around him is the problem?
Of course Ed Snider speaks up now when the franchise player is being traded. This guy doesn`t give two craps what happens to this team.
In the end, I think that wherever AI goes, they'll be better off than the Sixers. Billy King will likely send away a 30 point per game scorer for some draft picks. Leave it to the King.
