Celtics in trade talks for Allen Iverson?
The Dirt:
A recent conversation between the Celtics and 76ers concerned a possible trade involving Allen Iverson, according to a league source. Trade talk between teams usually increases as the draft approaches. For now, it appears the conversation was just one of many commonly held by teams at this time of year. The same source said no deal was on the table, or even close to being considered. Per standing policy, Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge declined to comment on rumors.
The Spin: Expect Iverson’s name to come up at least a couple more times in the couple days leading up to the draft, especially as teams with higher picks realize that no one on the draft board is worth the money it would take to sign them as a top pick.
