what's up AX bro...i hope you were kidding about AI going to the knicks LOL if i had to guess AI will land in the west. man would love to have "the answer" playing along side our boy KG here in minny but that aint happening. wolves don't have the money or enough players available to make it happen. clippers sure look like a possibility and since it's a big market AI might actually wanna go there. money wise the clippers can make it happen as well if they combo livingston & maggette so it will be up to the 76ers to pull the trigger in that deal. livingston is up and coming PG with great potentials and maggette is a fearless scorer (if he can stay healthy). clippers will definitely come out the winner if this deal were to take place...i mean just thinking about it, brand & kaman in the front with veterans AI & cassell in the back court,and an underrated defensive player in ross as their 5 starters while you still have timmy thomas and mobley coming off the bench...that's gonna make clippers from pretenders to serious contenders...but by looking at the way this whole thing unfolded, i don't think the 76ers ownership would wanna do anything to help the cause of AI to get the championship ring. infact i wouldn't be surprise if the 76ers ship AI to the blazers! yup the portland trail blazers :p if the sixers want potentials i don't think there is any other team in the leage that has potentials like the blazers do. to match the money part of the deal might be difficult here but not impossible. there is a guy by the name of raef lafrentz in the blazers payroll making a ton of $$ (which i think comes off at the end of the year) combo him with one of your 1st round picks from this year either brandon roy(if i'm the sixers i want him) or 2nd overall pick this year lamarcus aldridge and if the $$ is still an issue, ship either miles or dixon as the part of the deal. and in this deal the sixers might come out the winner as they would send AI a bad situation considering blazers venue / relocation issues, zach randolph (this guy only plays when it times to get paid), and portland oregon isn't what you'd consider a big market....and in return the sixers are going to get a fine player and cap room which they are looking for rebuilding. anyways above situations are fun to analyze but not very likey. when it's all said and done i believe AI will be playing for the memphis grizzlies in a deal that will send pau gasol & either uncle chucky or damon stoudamire..we might even see a 3rd team be involved in this deal as the sixer will be looking to land a good PG and ship chris webber as the PF would be played by gasol. so, this is the tread that makes sense to me the most....well we'll see how it plays out.
