Iverson's locker - the locker he has had for ten seasons in Philadelphia - is completely cleared out and his name plate removed. Something's going to happen soon ... stay tuned.

The last thing I heard was to Orlando for Hill, Ariza, and Nelson.

There's simply too many "possible" deals going on right now. Pointing out one out of every handful is pretty pointless, since the odds you're predicting the right one is slim.
I don't see how this can only be a two-team deal. Only a handful of teams (eight or nine I'd say tops) have a package that can even work, and then take out a couple of teams that aren't willing to part with a piece or two of what they give up, and you're left with only a few not-so-great offers that if Philly accepted, would hurt them even worse.
The Sixers should not be looking to add guys like Grant Hill, Mike Bibby, Baron Davis, etc. whom have all been involved in AI rumors. There's no point trying to get this team back to a 35 win status as they were a year ago. What they need are young guys (Delonte West and Shaun Livingston I find appropriate), an expiring contract (Eddie Jones and Mike Sweetney can still give you some minutes), and picks, picks, picks. Frankly I don't know why Charlotte, after slowly building up a team of young players who were very successful in college, would tear apart that young nucleus to add a guy like AI, but when you can get multiple first round picks from lottery teams, you take it. After AI is gone, Iguodala is essentially the franchise player. Hooking him up with a young PG that can get you 6-8 assists every night, some good defenders and scorers off the bench, and some pounders down low can make this work. But it needs to happen from this trade, and if nothing close like that happens, this team will remain in its mediocre state...

AI refuses to go to Charlotte so scratch that one off the list. AI wants to win so he's not going to settle until he gets something like the Kings, Mavs, or even Orlando or Boston.

Well, then scratch Boston off that list.

With AI, Boston could easily make noise in the Atlantic.

I'm glad.
We don't need a guy like him screwing with the chemistry our young guys are developing.

Radio stations in Philly are now denying that AI refused a trade to the Bobcats. I don't know what's going on here, but I want him here. Do something to get fans in the seats, because this team just lost back to back home games by THIRTY POINTS EACH. Good news for them is since the Panthers are sucking out loud, no one is focusing on the piles of shit dropped at the Arena every home game.

Honestly, if you were an NBA star looking for a shot at a title, would you accept a trade to the BOBCATS?

It's possible that someone on the Bucks telecast knows someone within the Timberwolves ... I mean, just speaking geographically.

Bah, this story is getting boring. I thought something would've happened by now.

It would be boring if it was just talk, but his locker is cleared up. You better bet the sixers want to trade him soon. Who wants to play Allen Iverson to hang out with his friends at home?
I dont want him to go to Indianapolis, cause I like O'Neal. I dont think he would be able to play in Boston with Paul. However, the Timberwolves would be a good fit with Garnett. He always said to get talent to help him, theres the chance of a lifetime.

He is going to Minnesota for sure. Just have to wait til Friday for Mike James' trade restriction to expire.
