Re: Sixers met with Allen Iverson Nov. 30 to discuss a reunion
Sixers are playoff contenders by default. Legit they are not. Having AI is like having Andre Miller. I rather this team challenge for the ECF, be one of the teams with the Orlando, Boston, Clevland and Atlantas or lottery. The in between crap is for the birds. The goal is to win, I get that. But when Lou williams gets back what happens? When EJ benchs AI because he thinks the unit he toyed with/put together is playing the best what happens?

Last two years they have had a much better second half...but yeah overall they are boring right now.

Source: 76ers and Allen Iverson Get Closer To Reunion
The Sixers are targeting next Monday's home game against the Nuggets as Allen Iverson's first game with back with the team if they opt to sign the free agent, two sources told ESPN's Marc Stein.
Iverson and his representatives met face-to-face with two Philadelphia officials for two hours in Dallas on Monday before the team's 104-102 loss to the Mavericks.
While the 76ers insist that no decision has been made, sources have stressed that plans to sign Iverson have progressed to a level where a reunion is more likely than not.
Stein is reporting that only an unforeseen about-face by the 76ers will prevent Iverson from joining the team by the end of the week.
"No doubt he's coming back," one source said.
However, one source did caution that nothing should be considered done until it's truly official. The Knicks appeared to be just as close to signing Iverson earlier this month, only to decide against signing the future Hall of Famer.

Iverson vs. Pistons will be interesting..
But I don't think AI holds a grudge against the Nuggets, everyone, AI included thought that AI would be better in Detroit if he wanted his championship.. Nuggets fans (most) love AI, and he loves them.

LMAO at all of you guys thinking he can drop 50 on us...the guy shoots less than 40%FG. Calculate how many shots it will take him to get his 50pts. Maybe on a 18-45FG night he will
