Yeah, I'd say Boston and Charlotte. Bobcats probably have the best situation because they have 10M$ free in Cap Space and the fact that MJ wants a superstar in Charlotte.
Maybe Philidelphia will keep Allen Iverson on his roster, but he won't play. They could do the same thing Indiana started to do with Ron Artest, and what the Lions did to Barry Sanders.I'm just kidding about that, but I bet he goes to Boston now.
Yeah I just heard that Charlotte might be interested, but I don't think they should. They have a great thing going right now with their young players (Okafor, Wallace, Morrison, Felton). They shouldn't mess that up, they should let those guys continue to grow, IMO.

Whether or not something happens is a different story.
Minny IMO will not get him. The only real young talented players that they have to offer are an injured McCants and Foye, while Boston has more guys than you could imagine. While I agree that Philly wouldnt want to trade within their own Division, they are going to be in rebuilding mode anyways and they know they wont be able to contend for a while....Allen Iverson will be out of the league in at max 5 years, and that is around the time that Philly will be a solid playoff team. IF, they keep Iggy, Korver, Dalembert, and if they acquire young talent from Boston.

No. Would they get a ring if they held on to all of the young players and waited for them to develope? I dont think so, and I will tell you why. Not all of those young talents are going to turn in to something special. And even if they do, they are going to have to go up agaisnt Chicago who loads better than them now, AND they have even more young talent than the C's do. The Celtics need to get in to the playoffs because Iverson has shown that he can lead his team to the finals with a very marginal supporting cast. Except this time, he would have Paul Pierce by his side who is a very capable first option.

And with Jeffersons monster game the other day, I wouldnt want to trade him and Perkins is hurt sint he? Warrick isnt going to be traded so all they can really get is a solid player and expirings/picks. If they would get Mike Miller, they would be getting a player who is averaging 14ppg, 6rpg and 4apg.
The celtics could also give up ryan gomes whos a pretty good player. They could give up ROndo or telfair pretty good young Pg's.

I used to be skeptical of Jefferson but he is playing really good, and still developing with Telfair/Green gives Boston more of a chance of a ring than Iverson and Pierce IMO.

Give me a freaking break. Iverson is arguably a top ten player of all time and he is amazingly somewhat still in his prime. Paul Pierce is in his prime right now also. And remember this, the Celtics wouldnt have to give up ALL of their young talent to acquire Iverson. I think that Boston would try avoid trading Gerald. If they trade Bassy, they would still have Rondo as a backup PG who is going to be a hell of a player. If they trade Jefferson, they still have Gomes who has been playing great all year. Then, the C's would have to trade Wally or somebody for cap reasons....They could keep Gerald if they tried to acquire Iverson, but I think Bassy would have to go.

No, when I talk about Boston being contenders in the future, im talkin mainly about Jefferson and Green, IMO, a team will ALWAYS need a good big man. Thats why I dont think Iverson and Pierce will be good, cause both need big men to succeed (Final wise)IMO. And Jefferson isnt good enough yet to help out.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (playaofthegame @ Dec 10 2006, 03:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>and memphis would be AMAZING if iverson was on their team :no1:</div>uhm...YEAH!! Warrick, Gasol, Gay and Iverson...your nuts if you dont think thats good. Why? Cause Iverson will have not just one,BUT TWO good big men to help.
