December 8, 2006 — THE Allen Iverson Period in Philadelphia is rapidly dragging to an undignified conclusion.According to two agents whose clients play for the 76ers, Iverson went to team president Billy King this past Tuesday and demanded to be traded, something he professed repeatedly over the years he’d never do.
According to two general managers King contacted yesterday, the 76ers are aggressively attempting to accommodate their forlorn franchise player, whose prohibitive salary (currently $17.1 million with $19M and $20.8M remaining) makes him a difficult sell despite a 31-point average — at least if the Sixers hope to harvest relatively equal value.
