latest I heard was the Bulls offered to be the 3rd team along with Phi and Den coughing up PJ Brown to the Sixers for Marcus Camby plus maybe some picks to the Ngs.that'd be a helluva deal for Chi.

That will not happen. The Bulls may be a 3rd team, but Camby isn't going anywhere.
With the Pau Gasol rumors I wouldn't be surprised if the Grizzlies jump into this. It could be one of the biggest trades in NBA history if all the parties that claim to be interested decide to jump into a deal.

Wooooooo! I'm pumped. We are already the 2nd best offensive team in the league, With Iverson.... WOW. You have no idea how excited I am.

BALLA, sorry to bust your bubble a bit, but if it goes down (looking very good right now), Andre Miller would be included in the deal. AI would run the point in Denver.And Denver is having trouble finding a suitor for Nene. Portland is also trying hard to get involved as a 3rd team.
This is part of a Peter Vescey article:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Clippers won't give up Shaun Livingston. The Warriors won't give up Andris Biedrins or Monta Ellis. The Timberwolves don't appear willing to give up Randy Foye, but even if they are, they have next to nobody the 76ers want. The under-capped (14M) Bobcats never wanted Iverson in the first place thus they somehow resisted giving up Sean May, Raymond Felton and Gerald Wallace. The Pacers talks never went anywhere worthwhile. The Nuggets are desperately trying to pawn off Nene's base-compensation, $60M ($8M this season) six-year albatross, by far, last summer's league-worst free agent signing. Using Charlotte's cap space is their only avenue to concoct a trade . . . if someone were remotely interested in an obscenely overpaid, broken down, second-string, unskilled laborer. The Kings won't give up Kevin Martin. The Bulls won't give up Ben Gordon and, in reality, never had any conversation with the 76ers. Yeah, that'd work, Iverson, his headband and Scott Skiles. The Mavericks would only be enticed should the 76ers buy out Iverson and he became a free agent. That'll never happen. I guarantee that with the same certainty I assure you Allen will never play another game for the 76ers. The Blazers aren't the least bit tempted by Iverson. Nene appeals to them even less. The Lakers are intrigued in Iverson but don't have the resources to get something done, especially now with Lamar Odom (torn knee ligament) sidelined for six weeks or more. As far as I can determine, that leaves Boston, maybe Minnesota (should the 76ers cave and consent to long-term obligations of, say, Troy Hudson or Marko) and Miami. The Celtics won't give up Al Jefferson, maybe, Gerald Green, too. The Heat make the most sense. They've got three expiring contracts within the next two seasons. James Posey is up at the end of this one, while Jason Williams and Michael Doleac are up the year after. In addition, they flaunt Dorell Wright, a young, promising stud. I'm not saying Miami is prepared to part with Wright. With or without him, the salaries meet league specifications. More importantly, the Heat have Pat Riley, who unquestionably has earned Iverson's attention and respect. At the same time, the team is presided over by Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade, two celestial presences who should be able to keep him moderately focused, at least as long as he believes there's a title to be had.</div>Wow! Can you imagine the trio of Wade, Iverson, and Shaq? That would be an instant back to back title, no doubt.

AI is most likely going to Denver.

I love how Andre Miller has been playing this season but I would give him up in a heartbeat for Iverson. Can you just imagine Allen Iverson running the break with JR Smith and Carmelo Anthony? His assist numbers should be off the wall.
If Iverson went to Denver, I'm pretty sure that the Sixers would also be asking for JR Smith. They want another young stud..

Right now it's Andre Miller, Joe Smith, two 1st round picks from Denver, and a third team trying to get involved as the facilitator.
Iguodala could play SF, and Carney comes off the bench..Think about it, the Sixers are going to want to start a youth movement. JR Smith would be great as the SG. He can shoot, and he's very athletic..

Well, the Sixers would probably give away Willie Green, or Korver if they were also getting JR Smith.

If Denver's the 2nd best offensive team, why do they need him? I know there are good reasons, but there are definitely other teams that need him more. Philly, since they're screwed anyway, should help a team like Minny that really needs him.Also, I"m at school in Business class right now. So yeah, I gotta log off now.
