It seems official: The Answer wants out of the City of Brotherly Love. This snippet is taken out of rotoworld:
"Ed Snider, the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, said Friday night that the team is working to accomodate Allen Iverson on his desire to be traded. The team originally said that Iverson was sent home and would miss Friday and Saturday due to back problems, but Philly's superstar has since repudiated that claim and said that he hopes to be traded to Minnesota."
Obviously if this pushes through there will be huge ramifications both in the fantasy and the real world. AI might be just what the Wolves need to push for a championship run, and the Sixers take a big step forward in rebuilding by unloading someone with a monstrous contract whose body is slowly breaking down.
There are a few problems though. One is matching the salaries of the players. Who does Minnesota give? Ricky Davis is one option, but they have to give more than that. It's obviously foolish to give Mike James and Randy Foye despite them playing the 1 spot. Will KG want to get shipped out to Philly? That possibility I seriously doubt. Also, is AI willing to play under KG's shadow? The Wolves is KG's team and Iverson will play second fiddle to him. How will that affect him?
Still, I would like to see Minnesota get A.I. because it can help them now in a big way while KG is still in his prime. It can be an important move to get a championship, like Rasheed Wallace's entry into Detroit.
This is a drama worth watching for both for fans and fantasy players. Stay tuned!
