as we all know and hate to admit, but AI's aging and will not be playing basketball for long. as you age, your playing abilities decrease. but, AI, dispite being 29, played his best season of ball this season. so, i'm interested on how many good years do you think AI has left of him to play. I'm also interested to know on how many good years you think C-Webb and Marc Jackson have. My opinoin is that they all have a good three years left of good bball before they wear down. your thoughts?
AI looks like one of those players who won`t stop no matter how old they are, such as Shaq. I mean this is Iversons like what, 8th season? Hes 29 and he just finished with a scoring title and one of his best or THE best season of his career. But I seriously think we have 4-5 good years left in The Answer. As for C-Webb and Marc, I think they both have 3-4 good more years. If I were BK and the rest of the 76ers management, I`d hold onto them and let the rest of their best basketball be played here.

With that said, I think Iverson has got about 3 more years left in him with him being effective. How many more years he'll stay in the league is another answer. As for Webber, I really don't see him staying effective for long. His knee is obviously taking his effectiveness out quickly and his age is as well. Thus, I would say he has about 2 more years left in him being effective. However, I really don't think King has a choice on whether Webber stays or not. He has a gigantic contract and no team would really want him since he's an aging guy that has a messed up knee (which is bad news for a low post guy). Therefore, he's probably going to stay here for quite a while. And Jackson's probably going to get around 4 years since he doesn't play as much minutes as the other guys above.
I say AI has a good 4 more years left in 'em, 5 tops...it all depends on what kind of team management puts around him so that he doesnt have to shoulder so much of the load...
