    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'> LA Times: Right now, the leading bidders look like Boston (offering Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, or anyone but Paul Pierce), Atlanta (Josh Smith, Marvin Williams and/or Al Harrington) and Golden State (pick any three).</div>They're still in pursuit so I woouldn't take away those AI jsy switches yet. I think he has a good chance of making it because I know it's either him or Cwebb and I heard theres a 65% chance they trade AI.

The Sixers wouldn't do that. He barely averages half the points AI does. Positives are that he's a few years younger(not much), better man defense, and more assists. If they trade Iverson, it would probably be for a handful of youngsters with a lot of potential to start a rebuild.

    I'll take Gerald Green, Al Jefferson and Telfair/West over Baron Davis any day... especially since Philadelphia is going for a youth movement if they trade Iverson.

    Everybody knows that Iverson will have a say in where he will be traded... almost every superstar does! Why would he want to go into a worse situation in Atlanta? If the Sixers were going to trade him there, I think Iverson would want to stay in Philly... which he already has mentioned several times would be what he prefers over being traded.

They're going to have to try and get a player that is close and/or some good young prospects.

    If they won't get equal value, you KNOW they're not going to do a 1-for-1 trade.
