SPORTZ: The ANSWER Raising Lotsa QUESTIONS, Internets Buzzing With Fan-Tastic Exit Strategies

Celtics — Jeff Clark from CelticsBlog.com: Offer Wally, Telfair, and West for Iverson. I know it is a low ball offer, but the salaries work and you have to start somewhere.

Not clear is how they can complete this deal with zero first-round picks to offer the Sixers and only unfavorable contracts to add to Foye, Ricky Davis and Eddie Griffin to make the numbers work.

Kings — Sam Amick at The Sac Bee: If the Kings were, in fact, trying to land Iverson in Sacramento, the most obvious deal would likely involve the swapping of point guards.

Including the $18.2 million Iverson will make this season, his deal has three seasons and approximately $59 million remaining.
