Sixers, Iverson Meeting in Dallas

Though the Philadelphia 76ers are considering numerous players to fill in for an injured Lou Williams, they’re only meeting with one such player this afternoon: Allen Iverson.  According to a source, Iverson is meeting with Sixers president Ed Stefanski today in Dallas. The 76ers have also mentioned Jerry Stackhouse and Antonio Daniels as players they’re looking into signing while Williams is sidelined. Stay tuned.

    Phili wouldn’t be a four spot team i’d give them 6 but this would be great, starting role and he’d be dropping 20+ like the old days. I’d LOVE to see him end his career like this

    @rikson naaah. you’re misinformed on your last post. firstly, EJ doesn’t want a 1 in his system, someone like AI (or Lou Williams, or Arneas prior) is what he views as perfect for his system so if AI at 1 is going to work anywhere, its probably here where the coach is so open to such an unusual concept of a 1. Secondly, Iggy doesn’t demand shots, he’s too willing to step up and try and deliver, there is a difference; he doesn’t expect the ball at the end of most good plays, however he does expect the ball when the clock is down to a few seconds or we need a basket. He seems himself, and rightly, as the on court leader, and leaders lead by example. He’s willing to take the difficult shots, the shots where if they don’t fall he gets the blame. Also, Iggy’s athleticism does greatly compensate for his lack of size against most SFs and he isn’t a true enough shooter to belong at the 2. Although having Thad Young on the court for most of the game is essential so that ties up the 3. Personally, I’d stick Kapono at 2, get him to take half dozen treys a game and then take him out for Williams/Iggy/Young combo whilst the last 2 share the 3, with Iggy starting.

    Bos/Orl/Atl/Cle in that order is my prediction for the 4. Then Det, Cha (i think they’re gonna have their breakout year, Phi, Tor and Mia vie for the last 4, with the last 4 being completely open till last couple of games. The top 4 have it on lockdown already personally even if it is early

    @360vue, true, but after being burned twice, the coach’s position is probably weighing heavily in this.
    @rikson-take a breath. It’s most likely gonna happen, so just get ready to bash dude after every game.

  • rikson

    @360 You gotta be joking right? Iggy doesnt demand shots?! Did you see the sixers play?! Phillys offense consists mainly of one-on-one moves frim Iggy followed by a VERY difficult J… (Not to mention that they have Brand under the basket and should play way more inside-out)! So youd leave Young on the bench to start Iverson???

  • rikson

    @travoris: passive-aggresive is usually a girls thing… just sayin!

  • rikson

    Oh and BTW: Iguadala on the 3 reduces his game to defense -> still a good player though, but not really efficient!

  • tavoris

    @rikson, ur the only kat in here talkin “it’s not gonna work…he’s not a PG” and it reeks of hateration. Guess what, neither is Lou Williams or Gilbert Arenas. True PG’s are the ones that struggle in Eddie Jordan’s offense, as it requires them to change their mindset. Get a grip.

    @rikson Noooo I have never seen the sixers play. Please, don’t use inconsistent examples for you’re deductions on a player, individual games result in anamolies. I’m talking over the last 100 games where he has been the leader of the team, most of those game you haven’t seen and I have, enough said really. Last season AI took on average just over thirteen or so shots a game, my goodness! WHAT A LOT! He is the go to guy, not the this is my shot guy. There is a difference but you can’t grasp that. This season its probably nearer 15 because the rest of the starters are acting like they have no confidence when the tough gets going. For a team with no bonafide scorer that really is nothing out of the ordinary. AI is going to be a relief for Iggy not a hinderance as you were suggesting

  • http://www.sixers.com 360vue

    First use of AI implies Iggy

  • http://www.sixers.com 360vue

    Oh and no need for the passive aggressive comment on tavoris, was that an attempt to sound clever or just a rudimentary form of diss?! That statement alone makes it quite clear you ain’t got no clue on psychological sociology so give that angle a rest

  • rikson

    @360vue: Geez, how old are you???? “most of those game you haven’t seen and I have, ” -> This is enough for me to never talk to you again, buddy! Debating like a preschooler…

  • rikson

    How would read that comment? He is basically telling me that Im hating, and thats just not true! He didnt even ask me!!! This was just a lame try to annoy me, Im not wondering that you didnt get that though. BTW “hating” has to be the lamest gangsta-sh1t to ever reach the surface of a civilized society and is only used by school-kids, who a) want to sound cool or b) are afraid to debate. Im not interested which one of those is travoris reason to post stiuff like that, as both are really lame!

  • tavoris

    why would I ask you, when you’re in this thread IN RECORD TIME to say “it’s not gonna work, he’s not a PG”.

  • tavoris

    one more thing…people who reek of negativity are the lame ones. If you hadn’t realized, the 76′ers enjoyed there most successful stretch since Dr. J retired with AI at the helm. “It’s not gonna work” actually has NO BASIS IN FACT, since it…um…did.

  • http://www.sixers.com 360vue

    @rikson Well, you aren’t a sixers fan, that much is clear. We aren’t in the media spotlight, so we get the standard amount of nationalised games. Your statement on AI is some way off the mark backs up my thoughts that you probably haven’t seen many games. Although it could be considered preschoolish, and I do apologise if any offense was caused. But how isn’t it justifiable for me to say I have seen way more games than you? It isn’t meant as an insult, just trying to express that I have seen more of the dude than you and you’re not hitting the mark with your assessment of Iggy’s play

  • rikson

    @360 I have the league pass… geeez! But your logic is just hilarious – I smell a career in crimefighting.. @travoris: You could have ask me for my reasons to have such an opinion, instead of just claiming my statement to be “hatin”! Because “hatin” is a killer-phrase, that will just “kill” any chance of a debate. And if you dont want to debate, why tf are you on here???

  • rikson

    @travoris: If you compare the 6ers from 2000 to the team they have today, you disqualify YOURSELF from every conversation… If you are serious and didnt write that because you realized that you have no arguments, its just a lack of basketball-knowledge IMO!
