13 December 2006The Iverson chroniclesThe Hornets have already indicated that they have no particular interest in soon-to-be-ex-Sixer Allen Iverson, but anything short of Isiah Thomas buying a clue is possible in the NBA, so Hoopsmack examines the ramifications of an Iverson trade from Philadelphia to any other team:
Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban suffers multiple strokes, but maintains his ability to jump up and down and hoot wildly.
Golden State Warriors Golden State wins their first game with Iverson, so GM Chris Mullin immediately signs him to a 10 year, 300 million dollar contract extension, locking up Iverson well into his 40s. Minnesota Timberwolves The Timberwolves could sign Jesus and trade for God, and they’d still lose in the first round of the playoffs. San Antonio Spurs The Spurs are not interested in Iverson, because he was born in this country. New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets Iverson mistakenly reports to New Orleans, where he is immediately arrested for looting after buying a new HDTV. Prediction from this corner: A.I. winds up a Celtic. Update, 19 December: Which was wrong. The Sixers traded A.I. and rookie forward Ivan McFarlin to Denver for Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and two first-round draft picks.
