| | At Friday night's Timberwolves/Jazz game, I heard a rumor. A good source mentioned Allen Iverson (also known as AI, the Philadelpha 76er and former MVP) wants out of Philly. The real question is does he want in Minnesota?
Maybe, maybe not. Who cares! I say that because of the offer we have to make. Look AI makes $16 million this year and $18 the next. To get him we have to jettison 16 million in salary. The rumors I read & heard involve flashy Randy Foye (wearing 4, this guy could be our future though maybe a playing time becomes a conflict with Rashad McCants when he heals from offseason surgery), the fiery Ricky Davis, and Troy Hudson.
What's KG say? He's clear, "Bring it on, I love The Answer. "We welcome A.I. with open arms. Where is Kevin
McHale?"
My opinion, "Howie Mandell,... No deal!"
I love the support but I have a problem. If we dump Foye, Davis, and Hudson, who plays with those two? Our starting lineup maybe only change one player (Davis), but who's off the bench?
Starting would be KG, AI, Mike James, Mark Blount, Craig Smith. I have no problem with that. I love Craig Smith. Our bench is reduced to Trenton Hassel, Marko Jaric, Justin Reed, Mark Madsen (currently injured), and maybe Eddie Griffin if he isn't part of the deal (another rumor). Ouch!
Sorry, KG. I just don't see it.
