C'est en tout cas ce que le propriétaire des 76ers rapporte dans une récente interview accordée à ESPN que voici (tirée du site des 76ers) :

How did you feel when you heard that Allen Iverson wants to be traded?

I was disappointed, at the very least, but I think that every player has the right to say what he wants. Allen has decided that's what he wants.

What has Allen Iverson meant to this city and this organization?

Allen Iverson is a great, great basketball player and he's done a tremendous amount of good things for our organization, and whatever happens we wish him well.

Have you spoken to Allen today?

No.

What will you say to him when you do talk to him?

I will wish him a lot of luck.

How involved in the process of accomodating his request will you be?

Very involved. Meaning that Billy King and I discuss it regularly.

How are you feeling personally tonight?

I think it's time to move on and I wish him luck and I also hope we can do well.

Has Allen Iverson played his last game for the Philadelphia 76ers?

Probably.

Pour ceux qui ne comprennent rien en anglais, le m'sieur y dit en gros que Allen est un grand joueur, etc. et qu'il a sûrement disputé son dernier match avec Phily contre les Wizards il y a quelques jours. Il dit également que c'est le moment pour lui de changer de club et il lui souhaite bonne chance. Reste à savoir pour quel club il partira ! Boston ? (il s'agissait des rumeurs de transfert durant l'été dernier)
