Iverson is not so hard up for trade that the Bobcats look attractive

A trade that would have sent disgruntled guard Allen Iverson to the Charlotte Bobcats died Monday when Iverson indicated his displeasure with the deal, a source told the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday.

The Inquirer reported that a source indicated Iverson’s trade demand did not include limitations on where he was sent. But that apparently did not include the Bobcats (5-15), who have struggled on the floor and at the box office since joining the NBA in 2004.

Bobcats coach/general manager Bernie Bickerstaff on Tuesday denied the report.

“That is the biggest crap I have ever seen,” Bickerstaff said, according to NBA.com. “It didn’t even come into play. So there is no response to that.”
