Allen Iverson had a press conference yesterday as part of his annual charity softball event. Of course, the gossip hungry reporters (not that we aren't guilty of that either!) couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask AI about all of the trade rumors.
AI's as loyal as a dog and as expected said the following:
The good news for fans of other NBA squads is that he also said:
The great news for Warrior fans is that Iverson also noted:

Do you really think that if you teamed up Allen Iverson, Baron Davis, and Jason Richardson, who are all hungry for the playoffs, have something to prove, and maybe even have a little chip on their shoulder, the Warriors wouldn't make the playoffs? The Warriors could start Monta Ellis at the Center spot and newly acquired Devin Brown at the 4 with that threesome. They're making playoffs. No question. Nothing's stopping them. Not even the clowns. It's a no-brainer, just like the Warriors' (mis)management.
Chris and Rod make it happen... Chris and Rod make it happen... Chris and Rod make it happen... Chris and Rod make it happen... Chris and Rod make it happen...

I say... ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLLARS- muhuahahahaha! Oh wait, sorry I'm watching Austin Powers on DVD. I meant to say One Triple-Oh!

Final thought: Loyal Golden State of Mind reader DaAzNJRiCh noted that recently waived Will Bynum's jersey is number #3. Guess which soon to be traded 76er sports #3 also?
Wait, don't answer! Instead pray for The Answer.
