Allen Iverson off the market
In a summer filled with NBA wheelings and dealings, many expected Allen Iverson to headline the list of players to change jerseys. To the comfort of many Sixer fans, it looks like that expectation will not be met.
Team president and general manager Billy King said Tuesday that he no longer expects to deal his All-Star point guard, and that keeping Iverson gives Philly the best chance to win.
“I fully expect Allen will be suiting up with us next season,” King told the Philadelphia Daily News. “Allen and I have talked about it, and he wants to be here and is excited to be playing for us.”
Not only is this bad news for the Boston Celtics, who were looking to significantly improve by pairing Iverson with Paul Pierc, but this is even worse for the Philly Police Department. This also has to be somewhat of a relief for Boston-area trash cans.
