Allen Iverson Finding a Familiar Home in Philadelphia?
November 29, 2009 by Nick Gelso
David Aldridge of TNT Sports reported that Philadelphia is tentatively discussing bringing their former super-star back to the City of brotherly love. The following excerpt is taken from NBA.Com
From NBA.Com
Allen Iverson’s on-again, off-again retirement may end with a reunion in the city that had his heart at hello. Emphasis on “may,” because there’s only one voice that matters when it comes to Iverson and the Sixers — team chairman Ed Snider — and he hasn’t been heard from yet.
The Philadelphia 76ers are considering signing Iverson to replace injured guard Lou Williams, according to a team source, confirming a Fox Sports report detailing the team’s interest. However, the team has not yet discussed the relative pros and cons of bringing back Iverson, the team’s first overall pick in 1996 and one of the city’s most iconic athletes during his decade there until being traded to Denver in a 2006 package for guard Andre Miller.
You all know my thoughts on Iverson. I’m interested in your feelings about a Philadelphia reunion for the exiled star. Good move for the Sixers? Can it improve their team? Blah Blah Blah…
What should we do next?

I’d rather see him in green. I really don’t see it happening but I would be the first one to buy a Celtics AI jersey if it did. I think Philly has a much more realistic chance of ending up with him. The only question that I have is what will happen when Lou returns? Will AI move to SG, or have to settle for a bench role? Putting him at SG makes the most sense. The lineup of Williams, Iverson, Iggy, Young, and Dalembert isn’t too shabby.

My opinion is, he would move to SG. The Sixers have the cap space so I see it is a reality w the Sixers. Good– I’d hate to see him in Green. lol.
