But I would have gone for that trade in a heartbeat. But I could see AI going to Europe. He's an aging superstar, big name, could be "The Man." It's perfect. @Dre Unfortunately it’s too late to trade AI. But I would have gone for that trade in a heartbeat.

It's sad really after all he's done for the game, but you can't win with a 5'10 shooting guard who chucks and shoots 40%. I would have said the only way he'd get a championship is by being a 12th man on the Lakers or something, but he's obviously not willing to do that. Okay now i’m convinced AI will never win a ring.

Even with Carmelo he was scoring quite a bit. Maybe 25, 26ppg? Does anyone think maybe Joe D would try to trade Allen before his contract expires this offseason. Maybe try a trade with Toronto for Bosh. Since this draft isn't that deep, we could trade our first round draft pick also. I think someone will pick him up just because of what he did last season.

AI as a starting guard was averaging 18 ppg, 5 asp, 41.9 FG%. I kind of can't wait until he's gone at this point. He's caused more off court drama than anything else. What does the future hold for Iverson? Who's going to pay him this summer? He's either going to have to take a huge pay cut to play for a contender, or get a semi-large deal to play for a bottom dweller. Seriously, who could you see AI playing for next season?

AI should just keep quiet, and keep reminding himself that he gets to go where ever he wants next season. Him venting like this is just giving people a reason to blame him even more.

Being real or not, you don't talk like this a few weeks from the playoffs. There's a time when you should speak your mind and this isn't it. He needs to keep his mouth shut and stop complaining about sitting down in a friggen chair. I didn't want him on this team to begin with, and while we still need him for the playoffs, I'm getting fed up with this cat. He can go ahead and clean out his locker and head to where ever his lives and stay there. When I first heard about him saying this BS I was furious.
