Billy King once again said that nobody on the Sixers' roster is untouchable but qualified it by saying that it is "a responsibility of mine to make sure we do what's right for the franchise."

He said the Sixers have had "numerous conversations with different teams, just trying to figure out if there's something we can do.

"Some teams say, 'Let's wait and see where we're picking. Let's wait until after the lottery and we'll talk again.' Some of those people were here tonight and I said to them, 'Let's definitely talk tomorrow.'"

The two latest trade rumors for Allen Iverson, according to Sam Smith, have him going to Minnesota for their lottery pick and players or to Atlanta in a sign-and-trade for Al Harrington and one of Atlanta's young forwards.

Magic Johnson envisions a situation in the future where he would purchase an NBA franchise with his friends Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley.

"If the right franchise became available, trust me, I'd make the calls," Johnson said.

"What better situation for us than to do it together?"

In this scenario, Jordan would run the basketball operations, while Magic would be in charge of the business side of things and Charles would be Charles.

"Charles could handle the sponsors and dealing with people," Johnson said in an off-the-air conversation while working as an analyst for TNT this week.

"And if we needed somebody to talk harsh to the team, he could do that."

"If I owned a team, I'd have to get somebody with Michael's skills to run the basketball side," Johnson said. "If he bought into a team, he would have to find somebody like me to make the company profitable. It would be the perfect marriage."

"What a message it would send," Johnson said.

"It would be unbelievable. I really think we can do it."

Allen Iverson lost his appeal on Thursday to give testimony about an incident in a nightclub in Philadelphia instead of Washington, D.C. because of travel concerns.

Two patrons and two security guards allege that Iverson and members of his security detail assaulted them during a confrontation in the bar early on July 20.

Charley Watters of the Pioneer Press wrote on Wednesday that there was a "Trade Rumor: Ricky Davis as part of a Timberwolves package to the 76ers for Allen Iverson."

Iverson was rumored to be on the block back in February and the Wolves appear willing to add an All-Star caliber player to their club this summer.
