by Atma Brother ONE on Dec 12, 2006 4:31 PM PST in Rumors

Rich Bucher for ESPNews is reporting that the Golden State Warriors are no longer in the running for Allen Iverson. You know the saying- it's not over till the Commish brings back the old ball. Oh wait!

Seriously though, it ain't over till it's over. Stay tuned...

Thanks to the good folks at I Heart KG for passing this tip along to us.

wow

So much hope/anger gone away. I was hoping the warriors would do something but I did not want to part ways with other players. When was this reported?

Playoffs!!??

This is all bad...

Now that Mullin and Co. did not pull the trigger, how do you think Baron and J-Rich feel about being dangled as Trade Bait? I can guarantee you one thing, NONE OF THEM ARE HAPPY ABOUT IT. Mullin and Co. has failed once again. Why let us suffer more?

LOL

Mullin strikes out again! STRIKE 3!

artest, harrington and now iverson

if you are goin to do a trade why not do it for a

big man, seriously.

I don't get this

Why do people who are against this trade say we should trade for a big man? Guess what...I want to trade for Yao, but it ain't happening. If you can provide a list of big men out that are actively being shopped by their team, then I would like to see it.

The reason we get worked up about guys like AI, Artest (and I guess Harrington) is because their teams are actively shopping them and it's inevitable that they will be traded. It's not like Elton Brand is available and we are choosing to focus on Iverson instead. Therefore it's pointless to say forget AI, let's get x when x is never available (unless we are talking about Chris Wilcox).

Sooner or later...

Baron or J-Rich will demand a trade too after this failed attempt to get rid of them. The only thing is we won't get nothing back if they requests to be traded. Probably draft picks at best! I think its time to start the Fire Mullin chants.

Good

Guards who chuck? Check. We got em.

Guards who can take anyone off the dribble? Yup, got them too.

A tough, inside presence? Nope, we ain't got it.
This is a good non-move. AI would be a sideways step at best.

As for BD, J-Rich, and Monta's possibly hurt feelings, I hope that these guys are professionals and realize this kind of stuff is part of the game.

Where's the link to what Bucher said?

Why are we not in the running?

It was on TV

It was on TV, but I didn't see it myself. The good people at I Heart KG passed it on to us (as noted). I was hoping someone in the community could fill in the specifics, but from what I gather there wasn't anything really of substance said.

I looked for an online report or transcript too and couldn't find it. I'll keep looking of course.

its getting old

these allen iverson rumors are really getting old and pointless. were not gonna get AI and i no rumors can be fun but i thought the GSoM people were smarter than this. post somthing useful!

Man, that's harsh

We're just trying to keep everyone updated with the latest.

Don't worry- if you're a frequenter to GSoM you know that rumors are only a tiny percentage of what we do here.

Hash has the usual phat preview/ open thread for tonight's matchup against the Kings coming up, plus his usual entertaining recap to follow.

Keep it locked!

Hey now!

You don't need to make excuses, AB1. Thanks for the updates. Geez...how often in a season do you get to see a trade like this??? Chat it up!

by pyro on Dec 12, 2006 5:15 PM PST up 0 recs

I feel your pain...

I know your upset but there's other avenues to let out your frustration other than blaming this great website, for example, jumping off the bay bridge.

by gsdubz on Dec 12, 2006 5:42 PM PST up 0 recs

ATMA

I <3 KG has had no indication of Iverson talks being over on their site. I think you're lieing.

But if true: FOYLE IS STAYING!!!!!!!!!

by Zorgon on Dec 12, 2006 5:06 PM PST 0 recs

They emailed us

Haha, I doubt TWolves fans are that interested in the latest AI to the Warriors rumors. It was really nice of them to drop us a line.

by Atma Brother ONE on Dec 12, 2006 5:14 PM PST up 0 recs

thank god

well i am happy now, i cant stand iverson, the guy is a jerk

if i were monta i'd be kinda happy

they could have had a superstar but they refused to get rid of you, thats a good thing to know your team supports you.

and at least monta, baron and jason go to practice.....

love the rumors. That is what GSOM is best at. All the rumors that I need to look for I can find right here.

Playoffs!!??

psh

psh out of the running? what does Ric know. my sources (the gnomes in my head) tell me this is going down:

by nativeson on Dec 12, 2006 5:39 PM PST 0 recs

BIG BAD

P.J. Brown!

If we had him and Foyle on the court on the same time, no one could even put a toe in the paint.

DOMINATION!

by Zorgon on Dec 12, 2006 6:05 PM PST up 0 recs

i guess i understand

this is a great site and i visit it everyday usually more than once, but i seemed lik evry time i looked at the site it was just a new rumor. i love the recaps and everything, and rumors too up to a certain point....but i guess i am a little out numbered here so ill just wait and see wut really happens

btw AB1 do u have season tickets?

by twelve years on Dec 13, 2006 8:01 PM PST 0 recs

Appreciate the feedback though

We're all learning on how to make this the best place possible, so don't feel shy about making suggestions and requests.

btw AB1 do u have season tickets?

Nope, I wish I did. That's actually one of our goals with this site- to raise enough money for great season tickets to share with the GSoM community. Some day... floor seats!
