I would love to see the C's get AI, but Eddie House presently has the same role Allen would, and probably for a lot less money. You never know, though. I hope of the reports of his retirement are premature and Big John can talk some sense into him. By the by, did you ever think we would appreciate what Credit Card Gottlieb has to say? I've always appreciated Doug's commentary. I may not always agree with him; but, he is a former top tier bball recruit and player who admitted and continues to own-up-to his mistakes of the past. I respect that.

Comcast sports said it had inside knowledge that it wasnt true, hinted that JTII had spoken to AI and said so. Not sure if that is worth anything or not. The report/trailer that I heard suggested that JTII had talked to him briefly, and suggested that it was merely to set up a time to talk more seriously or in-depth. Like others have said, I'm not sure what the substance would be other than JT making sure that AI is retiring for the right reasons. I have a hunch that JT might understand that AI really wants a ring and knows that if he never gets one, that will always be in the back of his mind. I obviously don't have any inside information, but I think that would make sense. If so, then I wonder if pops would have pull with certain teams that might offer such an opportunity? Hint ... just a thought ..

Per the John Thompson radio program today (JT was not there) - Iverson is not retiring. Announced by Doc Walker and confirmed by Ronny. He did talk to Pops and is scheduled to talk again. Ronny said that Iverson may have slowed down a step but he is still faster than almost anyone else in the NBA.
