Billy King continues to brace the city of Philadelphia for the possibility of an Allen Iverson trade.
"I think my job is to do what I think is best for this organization," King said. "Some people may disagree with what I think is best, or what our staff thinks is best. But we have to listen. We can?t base it on ?This guy is way too popular to do anything?. The thing about it is, Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar) was traded. Wilt (Chamberlain) was traded. Jason Kidd was traded. A lot of teams make decisions based on what is best for the franchise. Nobody ever thought Shaquille O?Neal would leave L.A."
King reportedly listened to an offer from Golden State that would have centered around Troy Murphy, while also speaking with the Celtics in a deal that would have produced Randy Foye.
