One of our sources just told us that despite reports that the Warriors are still in the running for Allen Iverson, they are actually not trying to swing a deal for him anymore. Also, the 76ers are working on a three or four team trade to net them immediate cap relief and draft picks. The Sixers aren't interested in young players in the league, but instead are trying to collect more draft picks to select prospects like Greg Oden or Kevin Durant in the much-hyped 2007 NBA Draft.
Hey, it's all good as long as they don't mess with The Movement!
Also, Stephen A. Smith's Croce weighs in: Exiling Iverson before trading him is just wrong is definitely worth a read. The 76ers organization deserves a lot of censure for the way they've handled the Allen Iverson trade talks. This guy has been their franchise for the past decade, but they've sent him home and cleaned out his locker? That's just disrespectful and stupid negotiation-wise.
