In the least surprising story of the year, the Sixers have discovered that trading Allen Iverson isn't as easy as it used to be.

Iverson has made it clear he will refuse to report to any rebuilding or struggling club hoping to use him as a short-term ATM to fill up the seats and, somewhat less importantly, the basket. The 31-year-old Iverson doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract, but has the power to scotch any deal because no one doubts that he would sit out rather than lose control of his fate.

Iverson, understandably, wants to go to a contender. Certain contenders, understandably, have interest, but few of them have sufficient cap room to take Iverson's contract. And fewer still would be willing to part with their core players to trade for him. They are already contenders, drawing decent crowds and unsure of the chemical reaction that would take place by adding Iverson to the formula.

So the list of compatible teams is a short one, and the packages of players that would be coming back to the Sixers are, thus far, not very attractive. At some point, Billy King is going to have to decide that picking at this situation isn't going to make it better. He will have to take the best of a bad lot and move on.

费城当地媒体：
76人管理层发现交换AI并没有预想中那么容易。

AI清楚表示若被交换至弱队或是正重建中的队伍，将会拒绝报到。想把AI换来只为吸引票房或是短暂过渡的队伍可以放弃这个念头了，因为没有人会怀疑AI会真的宁愿不打球也不肯把命运交给别人掌控。

可以理解的是，AI想去有望夺冠的队伍。而这些队伍中，有的也确实有意，但却又没有足够的薪酬空间来吸纳AI的合同，或是不愿拿出他们的核心球员们来换AI。因为他们已经是成型强队了，不愿冒这个险。

所以符合条件的球队名单就很短了，而他们提出的交换方案虽然对76人来说没什么吸引力。但在此刻，76人也只好不得不从这些都很不让人满意的选择中挑出一个相对好点的，把生活继续下去。

一天多前的新闻


Iverson最快将在周五（美东时间）加盟丹佛

根据《福克斯科罗拉多报》报道，根据一位NBA官方人士透露，在经过旷日持久的研究和谈判之后，费城76人队的全明星后卫阿伦-艾弗森最终将加盟丹佛掘金队，这也代表艾弗森在费城10年多的职业生涯终于走到了尽头。这位NBA内部人士透露这笔交易将在美国时间周五即今天正式达成。

自1996年以状元秀的身份加盟76人队以来，艾弗森就一直是这支球队的灵魂人物和精神领袖，近10年来他四次获得得分王，一次获得常规赛MVP，并在2001年率领球队杀入了总决赛。然而近几个赛季76人队因为人员配置不当和伤病问题战绩不断下滑，在上个赛季他们再度与季后赛无缘，这使得艾弗森终于无法忍耐而向球队提议要求被交易，而球队现在也答应了他的要求。

同样根据这位内部人士透露，这笔交易将不仅仅是单纯的两队之间的交易，它将牵扯到至少三支队伍和包括艾弗森在内的至少五位球员，而为了获得艾弗森，掘金队将不得不放弃他们明年的两个第一轮选秀权。

Denver Post :

As the front-runner to acquire Allen Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers, the Nuggets are pushing hard to complete a trade for the 31-year-old point guard as early as today.

According to league sources, the Nuggets are leading the race for Iverson by working aggressively to meet the demands of Philadelphia, which seeks the salary-cap flexibility provided by expiring contracts of veteran players and the draft picks required to rebuild its roster.

With two first-round picks in the 2007 draft, the Nuggets have positioned themselves in "the driver's seat" and are "leading the pack" against league rivals also looking to acquire Iverson, according to a source familiar with negotiations.

myfoxcolorado:

NBA league sources say that the Denver Nuggets are close to a deal that would bring All-star point guard Allen Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Mile High City.

The sources say the deal could be reached as early as Friday.

Iverson demanded a trade from Philadelphia, where he has played his entire career.

A source familiar with negotiations sas it would be a complicated trade involving at least three teams and at least five players. In addition, the Nuggets would likely have to give up both of their first round draft picks in the next draft.

Philadelphia 76ers management has said every team in the NBA contacted them about acquiring Iverson.

The point-guard is the leading vote-getter at his position in the Eastern Conference in All-star balloting.
