My last AI post, I swear
It's official. AI is a Nugget. Sad to see him go but it had to be done.
Billy King actually executed a pretty nice deal where the Sixers received two first round picks in next year's draft in return for the former MVP. They'll be low picks but it will be a deep draft loaded with talent, including the 35-year-old Ohio State freshman Greg Oden. I'm sorry but there is no way this guy is still a teenager. And with three total first round picks, the Sixers have some leverage to perhaps pull off another deal before the draft.
On a side note, I wonder how Sixers consultant Larry Brown, who had his differences with AI, sold the deal to his buddy and current Nuggets coach George Karl. I'd like to hear that conversation.
I leave you with some amazing Iverson highlights and some fan responses to Bill Simmons' column. See, people do care.
It's been real AI.
