Lots of rumors floating around concerning a lot of teams. The choices I've selected are the teams I've been hearing/reading about the most concerning interest in AI. Choose where you think AI will end up. And by all means then tell us where you want him to go.

All of the Above--anywhere BUT Philly and let me add I hope Billy King gets beaten to point beyond recognition.
Of the choices you provided--I'd go Clippers first, then Minnesota with KG, then Boston and the others in any order of odor. But they are better then Philly and Billy the Butt head's "vision" of what an NBA team is like. I love his "we need to change with game....." well isn't a GM's job to be forward thinking and do things to help the team instead of waiting for others to set trend and copy it?

I would vote other... I'd like to see him take a paycut and go to Dallas.*
Then, Dallas could win it all, Cuban could stick it to Stern, and all would be right with the world (provided Dallas signs Deke to a backup role).
* = I don't actually think this would work at all (AI with Avery, AI taking a decent sized paycut, Cuban moving players to get AI on the team, AI and Dirk and others sharing shots, etc.)... just making conversation. AI wouldn't work on any of the teams mentioned in the poll in terms of making a run at a title, except maybe the Clips... but that'd displace Cassell who made that team so solid.

Big Billy King "moves" to be made according to those in know 1. Chris Ford will be named to Mo Cheeks Staff-and we all know he and Iverson are like oil and water. This will apparently happen AFTER AI is traded--which is great to hear--he's going to be traded! 2. Willie Green is going to get a 5 year $16 million dollar deal and this is after his last significant contribution was missing a FT that would've tied Sixer/Piston first round series at 2 games in First Round--then he tore his knee, and was garbage. He's a 6'4 guy who can't shoot--just what Philly needs. 3. Shavlik Randolph and Jay Williams will reportedly be signed. 4. AI traded to Western Conference--and if that's case I'm pulling for Minnesota--which is quietly trying to get back into picture hear due to Garnett going nuts over McHale's putrid moves. BTW, a McHale-King trade will go down in NBA History as two of the biggest jerkoff clowns to ever construct a deal and what are odds it has to be "settled" by Stern/outside party due to those two not understanding trade rules in league? King's goal of getting "defensive minded athletes" makes zero sense--Carney gave Redick some trouble in November--so what? Guy is a marginal defender--Bobby Jones is fine in Philly--that is the guy who played on the Doctor J teams--not the Washington Husky 2nd Rounder. And get this King WANTS Eddie Griffin in any deal with Wolves--this guy is truly unreal!!!

This may rank among my top 5 favorite RDF comments. I'm getting ready to go home but sitting here laughing with tears running down my face, because this is 1000000000% true. Way to go, RDF!

Today, Screamin A Smith wrote an article how Iverson likely WON'T be traded due to lack of offers--and Billy King isn't finding "Value"--well who woke that #*#*#**## guy up to the point he wants "Value" in return for Iverson?? Especially when he never got value AROUND him? If Iverson isn't dealt, I wish King, a painful, miserable death and hope he rots in hell. I hate what he's done to give Iverson "support" and how he has somehow kept his job (hint--posterior of Ed Snider is covered with lip prints of BK)--and it's always nice to see a guy who has no clue how to acquire talent/shape a roster, turn away guys he deems "not worthy". Look it's simple--Iverson carried GARBAGE his entire career, he's never publicly said he wants out of Philly, and yet, he's treated as a problem--fine, let him go and don't worry how it looks. It certainly didn't bother you how the roster looked when he was selling that DUMP OUT--and maybe if this putrid organization would open their eyes--they'd find out that reason people aren't coming to games isn't because of Iverson--it's because they realize he can't carry nothings to more then a 1st Round Exit--because that requires talent--which that roster has none of. Chris Webber is about as useful as a legless goat--except the goat has more heart and gives more effort. If AI isn't set free, I hope that King/Snider get a lifetime of Hifigator text messages, phone calls, and better yet, have to live with him in a sweat box while he waxes poetic about the stool of Noah, or the fact that Orien Greene was now found with breast implants playing for a WNBA team under the name Whoreford Donovan. FREE AI NOW!!!

SEE POST ABOVE for response to the "news" that Billy King has taken AI "off the market". *********************** King!
Iverson also doesn't deserve "respect" for staying--he deserves a medical exam for thinking that GARBAGE FRANCHISE and clowns like Webber can compete.
King said he'd "change the culture" and "things were going to change"--and sad to say but again Iverson surrounded by garbage and only difference is that I think he likes it and if that is case--he DESERVES IT. Enjoy the lottery AI and wasting your career away with a slug like Webber and for a worthless franchise that is led by two men (Snider and King) that deserve to rot in hell after they die what I hope is a miserable professional death. Their firings/termination will bring great joy and just hope they get exposed for the awful job they've done.
