What I can tell is that if KG wants out of Minny, that could be his shot. Neither will get to play for a better team, but both seem to want a change of scenery.
Parker wouldn't have that FG% on the Sixers. Give Iverson a Tim Duncan in the middle and I bet he gets to the basket a little easier.
, give Duncan an Allen Iverson...
Just saying, it's interesting to think about. I could see things opening up a lot more.

Parker + Manu would be too much, I agree. I'd rather give up Manu, but then the downgrade at SG is greater than the upgrade at PG.
AI is my favorite point guard. He's a warrior. But i doubt if he fits working with the Spurs system. There's too much discipline here. And AI sometimes likes to have his own way of doing things, such as practice time.
Just heard from the president of the Sixers on Sportscenter clip "Iverson has probobly played his last game as a sixer"
Wow, what a shocking comment...
Unless Duncan is gone at the time AI is available... dont ing fix what isnt broke... AI (for now).
Other then that, ya, I'll take his ass any day for the Spurs if he can adjust his at ude. I still want this team to be more physical, just not that "gangsta"
Yeah I think there is a deal done and they just are holding him out of playing right now until it officially goes through.
Because AI got sent home from practice and they said he wasn't going to play the next two games and he says he's not even hurt.
Yeah thats the feeling Im getting.
Very very intrigued to see who he goes to.
Wouldn't be shocked at all to see Dallas get him.
Probably Minnesota (not for KG).
if so, then Minnesota jets right back to the top as a Western conference contender.
, no.
Not even for cheap. We don't add 12th guys on our roster who we think might mess up our chemistry. What makes you think Pop would add a guy he has to pay superstar money and is a chemistry killer?
Doubt it.
They've had Cassell, Spree, Ricky Davis and Wally's world. What would AI bring to the table that those other me-first guys didn't? It'll be the same as always. Good regular season, 1st or 2nd round exit in the playoffs.
At this point I hope he's realised having coaches he 'likes' isn't necessarily best for his team record-wise.
As for him fitting the Spurs system, I think he could. If you use him in a Manu type role. He can't be you're primary guy bringing the ball up-court. If we didn't have Manu/Finley I'd say get him in a heartbeat. Pop can do alot of what Larry Brown did with AI, minus the stick-up-my-ass at ude.
Signed Glenn Robinson who was supposedly a chemistry killer.What makes you think Pop would add a guy he has to pay superstar money and is a chemistry killer?
Glenn Robinson wasn't paid superstar money by the Spurs.
Other than AI being prob one of the best scoring guards in the history of the NBA, compared to those guys, uh quite a bit.would AI bring to the table that those other me-first guys didn't? It'll be the same as always. Good regular season, 1st or 2nd round exit in the playoffs
Nope, but the point is, he was a chemistry killer.Glenn Robinson wasn't paid superstar money by the Spurs
The Spurs have gone after chemistry killers before too.
I just don't think the contract AI has meshes with the 08 plan.
Like Squid said, he wasn't paid superstar money.
Also he was brought in an extremely short leash...and he obeyed and was a good doggy. You can't do that with AI. You think he's going to come here on a 10-day contract and earn his 2-3 year deal?
Name one teammate of his who went to the All-star game while being a 76'er.
?Name one teammate of his who went to the All-star game while being a 76'er
Thats been part of his problem he hasn't had any good teammates, and they haven't acquired any.
I think though Dekembe Mutombo did though.
Exactly.
How about Iverson and F/C Alan Henderson to SA for Barry, Oberto, Bonner and Williams? The trade works from a salary standpoint.
I'd do that trade so fast, your head would spin.
Philly can get far better than that, and they'll still be selling AI cheap. If that's the package they got for the guy, there'd be riots in the city.
The Sixers can get a better deal than that. Plus they couldn't fit all those players on their roster.
