I actually like Carlisle's comment even better:

"It's a non-starter concept and topic for us because we have 15 guys. So it
wouldn't even come up unless there was a trade. And how do you trade for a
free-agent?''

As in, he wouldn't even consider cutting the last guy on his bench to bring
Iverson on board. As in, wouldn't even drop Matt Carroll with his 1 point
a game average on 27% shooting to pick up Iverson.

Well it may turn out that Iverson goes back to the 76ers. Maybe for
just a year so he can retire from them. I can't see them starting
Iverson over Holiday or Iguodala and unless Iverson has a huge change
of heart and puts his considerable ego in his pocket, he won't come
off the bench.

I'm guessing it fits into the idea that history repeats, but the first time
as tragedy and the second time as farce.

I see that it's by Bethlehem Shoals.

Have you read the Free Darko book yet? Any reactions?

As I speculated, AI did sign a 1 year pro-rated veteran minimum
contract with the 76ers. They say it is to fill the spot of Lou
Williams who is on injured and out for about 6-8 weeks.

Does this mean AI will come off the bench? What happens when Lou
Williams returns? Maybe Eddie Jordan's personality and coaching can
overcome and control AI's ego. I doubt it, but you never know.

He could not control Kwame's ego...
