Reasonably solid Clipper station reporting Magette and Livingston to 76ers for Iverson is their on the table. Clips would be even more interesting IMO, although Livingston has lots of potential.
Not Hacksaw it was either 570 or 710 at about 6:30.
Still like the Kings once they get that big guy we've been waiting for ever since we received all those flexible philly pieces.
Still think the Kings'll have this LA's number. IMO we'll either get Bonzi or a sign and trade to pick up a lil something helpful. I wasn't so sure of that a month ago.
Doesn't matter the line-up, only matters if the other players are defensive specialists. Webb had to fight for the ball last year.
AI is about AI he, I think I can safely go on record and say he will never win a ring. Sure as a 1v1 the guy is an absolute stud. Possibly one of the best players talent wise ever.
I would love to see Iverson on the Kings. It's not often a superstar of his caliber is shopped around, and with the way the game is called these days somoene who can penetrate is invaluable, and Iverson's the best in the business.
Not sure AI would except having to give the ball to Artest 15-20 times a game. I love him, but that might be a problem because of his style. Ditto Elton Brand.

Actually Webber has had a helluva time shooting the ball with A.I. there, because you are reduced to constatnly shooting from bad positions with the shot clock running down. Never at your spots, always at Allen's. And we have FAR more guys here who need the ball than Philly had.
A.I. just can't help a team with other offensive options. For an offensive player he might be the worst teammate in basketball. Half of every shotclock is going to be dedicated to him dribbling around looking for his shot and playing keep away with the ball. Nor is it even as simple as him just backing off -- something he has NEVERE done for anyone. Even if you somehow magically could get him to back off, all that you would be doing then is reducing him to just another guy, and not worth trading for anyway. His greatness is entirely depedant on the very trait that makes him an impossible teammate -- he NEEDS to be able to dribble around for half of every shotclock and attack attack attack to put pressure on the other team. If you somehow rewired his brain into a team player, that pressure on the other team would be gone, and A.I. would just be a talented tweener guard with modest impact. His best/last hope to play for a contender would be to end up somewhere like Chicago, where his act would fit better with all the defensive specialists over there.
