Warren2ThaG Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_rumors__42/ept_sports_rumors-641053469-1262613171_thumb.jpg?ymza4dCDylkL_.04Sixers waiving Allen Iverson?There is a slight possibility that Allen Iverson(notes) could be sent packing by yet another team by the end of this week. The Philadelphia 76ers have got to decide by Wednesday if they want Iverson on the roster for the rest of the season or not - and the team is seemingly leaning toward keeping him, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Iverson signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Sixers and those become guaranteed on Jan. 10. There is a 48-hour waiver period that comes before that. Because Jan. 10 comes on Sunday, the league has apparently moved the date back to Jan. 8 and the waiver period now begins on Wednesday. "Nothing is etched in stone, but I think it's going to happen," said head coach Eddie Jordan last night about keeping Iverson. Iverson has played nine games with the Sixers this season, and was averaging 15.5 points per game before last night. Arthritis in his left knee kept him out of four games and is keeping him to about 30 minutes per game that he plays in.---http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/20100104_Sixers_Notes___76ers_must_soon_decide_about_Iverson.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Whats the point in waiving him? The Sixers are going nowhere this season with or without Iverson, so they might as well keep him on the roster to help sell some tickets. This season is a lost cause, just keep Iverson for the rest of the season, sell some extra tickets and let the guy retire at the end of the year with the team that he gave his heart and soul to. I honestly see no reason why they should waive him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 5, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I don't see this happening...just no reason to, as Sean said. Plus, he's not disrupting the team on offense. He's not playing defense, but how many people do on the Sixers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I think it would be pointless to waive him now. Sixers already know they arn't doing anything this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Situation Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 They arent going to waive him. It just something for the media to chat about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 We actually don't play as bad with him on the court, don't see why this would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 possibly to tank so they get John Wall?but still theyll keep him, as bad as they are, they could still make the playoffs in the east, its that sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Your title is very misleading. All that article says is that the Sixers still have a couple days before that clause in his contract kicks in (the one that makes it guaranteed for the rest of the year). As they have said all along, there is a very big chance they keep him around. Nothing has changed since the day they signed him, really.

He'll drum up fan interest on a listless team. Don't expect him to be back next year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klashnekoff Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 He's far better to have play then Lou Williams (not a fan at all). The guy isn't a good player in my opinion, put Lou on any other team and he'll be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
