We all can see this team is not going to win a championship anytime soon. Iverson eventhough not so hot this past couple games, is having yet another steller season. Do you think the Sixers should use this to their advantage? Couple season ago, you probally wouldnt have gotten much for an aging Iverson, who was getting more and more injured. But after last year and this year, his stock has sky rocketed back up. There would be so many teams willing to give us everything for him. Wouldnt you make the move now, before its too late. Dont get me wrong, I love Iverson, and I was always believed he should be forever a sixers....but I dont see them going anywhere. Sure they can perhaps make yet another playoffs, but what so special about a first or second rd loss? This city is dying for a championship, but this team is not going to get us one period. The youth is ok, not great, but still has time to develop, but not when Iverson and Webber is here. Im just so fustrated in games which we should be winning. We dont have no defense...and we paid Dalembert and Korver just way too much. Sure Dalembert had a nice game vs PHX, but he not consistant. Only thing consistant about him is his foul troubles. You know its going to be a short game for him when he gets them two fouls in the first qtr. He just never recovers, and always ends up picking up lame fouls. Also on note about Dalembert consistancy is his Goaltending. Why? why does he need to have atleast one goaltending each game? Moving on to Korver, well there is nothing more than I wish he could just be our sixth man. He doesnt have the energy to play 40 mins, his defense is awful. pathetic! I would rather have John Salmons starting (eventhough he hasnt been producing, I think give him time he will...), or even Matt Barnes (I know, I know).... Sorry just fustrated and feel like this team has put the city down....you want to know why attendance is down? its because everyone see no emotion from this team, lackluster in the wac!

Trade Iverson now? Makes no sense when we brought in Webber. Before we brought in Webber I would have traded Iverson, but by making the trade with the Kings, Billy pretty much signaled that he isn't trading Iverson. What we need is one or two more solid players, and we'd be in contention in the East... but I don't want to give up Iguodala or Dalembert, so we better get used to being a mediocre team.
It’s late and USC lost so sorry for not taking this in depth. To keep it short and sweet my answer to shuld we trade Iverson?.........No.
I think trading iverson would be the worst thing eva caus when you think about it theres nobody else that would even be a desent pg for phili noone foe those lttle dribble in js.
why would you trade away iverson? allen iverson is the sixers. allen iverson is philly. he's been here through the good times and the bad. trading AI would just be like trading donavan mcnabb. they both are the faces of philly sports.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting superman32:</div><div class="quote_post">id trade mcnabb, he sucks</div> you think mcnabb sucks? you are absolutely crazy. who lead us to the super bowl? who lead us to three conference championships?
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Iverson eventhough not so hot this past couple games,</div> Why do I have a feeling if Iverson never had two rough games and let's say we did beat the Suns last night, this thread would have never been started? But I see what you're saying CMatt. There are some moves that need to be made. But trading Iverson? No. Trading Sir Charles for nothing still haunts Sixer fans, so no matter what, you just won't get equal value for AI and you just can't trade him. What needs to be done, is get a bonafied 3rd option and a some bigs who can come in and just rebound the ball. I love to have Evans, Fortson, Magette and Barry here. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Im just so fustrated in games which we should be winning.

When they won a game I would be happy the whole day through, if they lost I would be so mad. But I've come to accept the fact that they are not the Spurs and Pistons. And it's only the elite teams in this league that beat teams that they are suppose to. Think about it like this. The Sixers were in a much worse position right now last year. Oh and as for the defense, it's the coach fault. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sorry just fustrated and feel like this team has put the city down....you want to know why attendance is down? its because everyone see no emotion from this team, lackluster in the wac!</div> You're right. The fans of Philadelphia are annoyed with being average. This is a good thing. That just indicates that there needs to be a change. And while I don't like to bring this up on JBB, but according to a very, very accurate souce, the Sixers have been trying hard to make some moves. They've gone as far as almost getting Al Harrington(the Hawks winning potion suddently killed that dea recentlyl) and till this day, they continue to explore in trying to get new faces here. But rest asure that there is a big chance that some kind of deal will be made before the deadline. Right now the man most likely to be gone is Steven Hunter. I don't like it, but that's the #1 guy that would potentially get shipped. The filler in any possible trades would be Kevin Ollie.
Before Id consider trading AI Id wanna see how the team plays without him.At times I get sick of him shooting so much but he's the one who gets us our wins
The Sixers should bring in a PG, and then move AI back to SG and Iggy down to SF, and Korver to the bench. That would give them there bench production that they need and a good ballhandler to take the pressure off of AI.
Yes Avery, I know the sources you are speaking of... I think. I have the same sources. We had the Al Harrington deal in wraps, and weren't giving up any important players from our team, if I remember correctly, but then Atlanta started winning. AI Iggy Harrington CWebb Sam Also, the Sixers are still pursuing trades, but nobody is biting at the moment.
With the crrent salary the sixers are walking into they are going to be in huge trouble keeping everyone on this roster. I know that mashburn's contract is going to expire next season, but so is Iggy. He going to want a huge contract, and he probally going to get it...much better than Dalembert did this season. If that happens there will be no way to add in that other option people are hoping for. I heard about that Al harrington trade...it was actually a rumor which began in november...and its just what it was a rumor. If you cannot let go your youth....then you need to move your vets..there is no other option the Sixers have. Am I selfish that I want my team to be as good as the Spurs or the Pistons? Im not up for mediocre... sorry...i dont see why anyone would, but if you keep this same team intact they wont be going anywhere close to the championship. Im standing on my first view, we need to trade Iverson.

I could see Salmons and Hunter both dangled out there for possibly a semi big name player, but not sure who.

He's still a baby in NBA terms and is coming off an injury yet is still performing admirably. Complaining for complainings sake.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting N4S:</div><div class="quote_post">I could see Salmons and Hunter both dangled out there for possibly a semi big name player, but not sure who.</div> I can't see those two drawing any major interest. Salmons is on his rookie deal which is expiring this year whilst Hunter is tied up until 2010. Don't see much that would appeal to teams.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting phiLA:</div><div class="quote_post">thanks. you guys sure his sources are reliable?</div> 100% positive. I believe him more than all these reporters and so-called "experts." He's called a lot of moves before they've been made by the Sixers. He has a friend that works with the players daily, and gives us "insider" information.
