Iverson demands trade, will miss Friday's game

I kind of support Iverson here. It's really not a good situation eitehr way. AI knows the end of his prime is near and he will never win a championship in Philly. Time for him to move on to a contender.

Yes, Iverson has done a few things off the court to lessen his credibility, but he plays harder than any player in the NBA. In a league where players are constantly show-boating and giving half-ass effort, this has to count for something. I hope he goes to a good team with a legit shot to make a title run because I think AI still has a lot left.

IVERSON IS THE BEST LITTLE MAN TO PLAY THE GAME. I DONT CARE IF YOU LIKE HIM OR NOT(DONT KNOW HIM WONT JUDGE HIM OUSIDE HIS CAPABILITIES) FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE HIM AND OTHER ATHLETES THEY DONT KNOW (ONLY THROUGH THE MEDIA)STOP NUTT TAPPING!

I live in Philly and am a 4 for 4 sports guy, but I wish they woulda got rid of Iverson in the summer - anyone with half a brain (Billy King operates at 1/3 of one) could have seen this shit coming a mile away - get young player or expiring contracts pllllllllllllllease and then get the #1 pick ODEN Sixers 2007

SORRY THAT PICK BELONGS TO THE BULLS(THEY WILL WIN THE LOTTERY) THIS YEAR THANKS TO THE SORRY ASS KNICKS!!!!!!!

Living near the Philly area, I have a strong opinion on this (have had it since they resigned him 3 years ago).

Positives for AI
AI does play hard EVERY night.
Fans love TO watch AI, although the Sixers have been struggling with ticket sales the past 2 years.

NEGATIVES
AI is not a 2 guard and shoots too much to play the point.
AI DOMINATES the ball and other players can not play with him. (Just ask Stackhouse, Larry Hughes and now Webber)
AI is a coach killer - he does not practice and you cant win without that.
He makes way too much money ($40 million).

As you can see, I do not think that AI is a winner. Trade him and let the youbg guns (Little AI, Willie Green and whover he gets traded for) show what they have.

Latest report right now on ESPN says he could be headed to Minnesota to play with Garnett.
