Re: It's only a matter of time before Iverson departs

I guess there's no way to get AI in green, huh?  I can hear
it already....  "I wouldn't want that selfish punk on my precious 
parquet...True celtics don't palm the ball or get neck tatoos..."
Still, a guy can wish, can't he?  I would love to see AI in green
and white, and would trade a lot to get him.  He is pretty much
uncoachable, I'll grant you that, and there might not be that
much left in his tank, but he's a top ten NBA talent.  (Shaq, Duncan,
Kobe, KG, McGrady, Kidd, Nowitski, Pierce, Iverson, James)
