oh snap

Doesn't mention minny in the article, but that would be an interesting combo, iverson + garnett...

woops must have read that somewhere else

by **Sentro** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 1:51 am

the 4 teams he think that he will be going to is , T-wolves, Denver, Hawks, or celtics

With T-wolves and Denver as the two main ones. IMO would both make them championship teams.

by **Arlos** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:02 am

I dunno, could Carmelo really get along with Iverson?

I know Garnett could, though.

I bet Vonk as going insane imagining the Mav's getting him and pairing Iverson and Dirk. :rofl:

-Arlos

by **Sentro** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:12 am

I would say at this point of Carmelo's carrer he would not get along with, .AI because he is just to young and may not be all about the winning (young players tend to do that)well i guess he could since Carmelo is a big fan but teammates and fans two diffrent things

KG gets along wiht everyone just a great guy and a great player IMO

the mavs are at there cap already or close to it.

Which ever team gets him will make that team 100x better. Deff one of the top 3 point guards out there right now. Cant wait to see what team he goes to. Hoping minny myself but guess we will have to wait and see

by **Rotj** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:48 am

don't see philly sending him to another east team. would be interesting to see if the lakers would jump on it

by **Arlos** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:54 am

Iverson with Kobe would be a thermonuclear explosion waiting to happen. Iverson needs to be with relatively unselfish other players, like Garnett. Kobe, if he's anything, is about as far from unselfish as you can get.

I just wonder how much say AI will have in the deal, i know most players dont get any but i dont think a team is going to want to take a high payed guy like that unless he is willing to play for them. So i dont think that will leave that many teams left im sure one of his main goals is to win a championship he has done everything else possible already

by **Rotj** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 5:40 am

yup. i only said the lakers because they have assest to throw at the sixers (odom, bynum, draft picks). but kobe would probably be vehement with AI coming over.

wouldn't be surprised seeing sac make a run for him too

by **Sentro** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 6:41 am

I wonder how fast these deals will go through, such a big player to move might be a little hard. Almost poss it will be a multi team deal.

We already know Kobe is a little bitch who wanted shaq out even though they were winning championships. Unless Kobe grows up i dont see the lakers winning a championship for a while.

Sac would love to get him but i dont think they really have all that to give out worthwhile

4 years ago I would have loved to see that experiment in Dallas... but right now I'm pretty freaking happy with the roster. We pretty much have no holes. Iverson and KG would be deadly but it wouldn't be an immediate CHAMPIONSHIP contender, playoffs... yes... and they would be fascinating to watch together... But there is only one player in the past 10 years who could single-handedly make a CHAMPIONSHIP team out of a team, even by scrapping the roster to get him, and Miami got him. They won't get another ring from him, he was only good for one push... and now he's going to ride their bench as a 10/8 guy for $20m a year for the next 4 years.

Iverson is a god, make no mistake of that. I argue for him in ANY debate... I truly believe that he and Magic Johnson are the two most skilled players to have ever played the game. There are very few stories in sports where one player was so completely crippled by his stature like AI. I've seen Iverson sink fade-away 3s, 4 feet outside the line with two freaking 7 foot shot-blockers in front of him. He's freaking 5'10"!! Can you imagine what he would have done in a 6'9" frame? God.

Anyway... he's amazing, but he would never work in Dallas. Nellie might have moved people around to try and get him back in the Toine/Tawn days, but there's no way AJ would pull that. He'll head East... Denver would be a much much scarier team with him because that's really all they are missing, but Melo / AI might be another CWebb/AI powderkeg. Garnett is the rare superstar that doesn't have to have the ball in his hand to make a huge impact in the game. He and Iverson would mesh beautifully, but their supporting cast might look bleak. Fun games to watch though.

If AI went to Chicago I'd have 8 orgasms. Fat chance of that happening with how much we paid for Wallace.

by **Susvain** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 11:34 am

We'll he's definetly out of Philly...chairman of the 79ers was asked on ESPN if AI would ever play another game in Philly and he said probally not.

Either way, AI and Pierce would be great to watch. Celtics are already one of the most entertaining teams to watch because of how close they can come to winning and then blowing it.

by **vonkaar** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 1:57 pm

No way he'd go to the Celtics... If he doesn't leave the East, he'll at LEAST leave the Atlantic.

Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers appear headed toward a bitter parting. But Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said he won't end up in Minnesota, despite a flood of rumors Friday night that said otherwise.
"No trade," Taylor said during the Wolves' 110-103 victory over Utah on Friday night at Target Center. "It isn't that I don't like him. Just money-wise, it wouldn't work out." -- St. Paul Pioneer Press

hrm makes sense. AI + KG's salary is about 74% of the salary cap combined.
(according to http://www.hoopshype.com/salaries.htm + http://www.insidehoops.com/nba-salary-cap.shtml)

Wouldn't stop the Knicks...

by **Jay** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:28 pm

AI to Chicago plz.

by **Zanchief** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 10:45 pm

Kobe isn't the selfish player people make him out to be.

As for AI, I think the clipps would be a great spot for him if they can swing the cash.

by **Sentro** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 1:38 pm

Philly is doing that already with CW and AI and MN still has room on there cap, they can still get him they have the money for it

by **Arlos** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 9:56 pm

TNT is claiming that Miami is seeing what it could do to land AI. DUnno how that'd work, but it'd be interesting, no doubt.

by **Jay** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 11:06 pm

AI + D Wade? That's kinda retarded.

by **Phlegm** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 1:02 pm

How come Iverson is not playing right now? Is he injured?

He has been told by the GM that he will be traded, AI said i think thats best for everyone. GM and Coach tells him he wont be playing another game for philly, and to stay home. That is the quick quick version.
