Check out this tidbit from the Seattle Times NBA Notebook today:
It's a little fuzzy from the way that was phrased- does "emerged as candidates" simply mean these three squads were contacted by the Sixers (we were informed that the Warriors, Sonics, and Nuggets were contacted too) or does this mean the interest is mutual?
Regardless of what goes down with Iverson on the trading front, one thing that should bring a smile to Warriors Nation is AI and KG probably won't be teamed up together thanks to TWolves owner Glenn Taylor declaring that they can't afford Iverson. This means two things:
- There won't be another guaranteed playoff team in the West to kill the Dubs' dreams of ending that 12 year playoff drought this season.
- There's still some hope that the Warriors can bring KG to the Bay. (Although, this is one of those "never in a million years" scenarios)
This should also bring Kevin Garnett into a serious state of rage especially after he said this:
FREE KG!
We'll just have to wait and see where The Answer goes.
Where do you think AI will end up? Ooooh, the quarter season drama!
