    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Chad Ford: Atlanta Could be Angling for Allen IversonFord's the man with the connections, and this is some of what he's hearing:The Hawks roll into the summer with roughly $15 million of cap space and are considering passing the free agent market altogether and make a trade pitch to the 76ers for Allen Iverson.Knight knows he needs to start adding some star power to the team and Iverson would be a good complement to Joe Johnson in the backcourt.The Hawks might have the goods to pull it off. Knight could offer Harrington (in a sign-and-trade) and one of their young players (Josh Childress or the draft rights to this year's lottery pick) for Iverson.That would free up some of the logjam at the three and four and fill in a serious hole in the Hawks' backcourt. If the Sixers are intent on moving Iverson this summer, they'd have to seriously consider an offer like that. There aren't many teams willing to give up much to bring Iverson into the fold -- but Atlanta might actually be a decent fit.</div>LinkAnyone seeing this happen? I personally dont see it happening, although i think it would be great for the Hawks.

    If Chad Fords says it you can disregard everything in the article.....I dont see Iverson playing for Atlanta. The Sixers owe it to him to put him with a team in contention of winning a title. Who would they offer anyways?Im sure King would ask for some of there young talent preferably Josh Smith since he was looking to draft him in 2004 anyways. I would ask for Harrington,Smith,Childress, and Lue.

    No way this happens. I don't know why the Sixers would trade Iverson to a team that is worse-off than they are... if they are willing to do that then they might as well keep him around and try to right this sinking ship.No matter what, if the Sixers decide to trade Iverson, he will surely have some say in where he will be traded to... a la Shaq.
