Kevin Mulligan of the Philadelphia Daily News plays ?Sixers GM? in today?s column. He creates a scenario in which the Sixers trade Allen Iverson. His reasoning for the trade: The Kings need another scorer to pair up with Mike Bibby and they have a wealth of star-quality players on their bench which could help the Sixers.

His suggestion is Iverson to the Kings for ?untapped star-quality shooting guard Bobby Jackson and rising star small forward Peja Stojakovic. If the salary-cap math doesn't add up, Sacramento throws in forgotten point guard Mateen Cleaves, who has yet to blossom.? (According to RealGM?s estimates, the Kings would have to add about another $2.7million in salaries to make this trade work).  

Mulligan adds: ?It's a perfect fit for both teams. Bibby never would see double-teams and it is a trade that could win the Kings an NBA championship next year. And with the explosive, versatile Jackson and Stojakovic (Matt Harpring becomes a solid sub), the 76ers immediately have two deadly shooters and become a serious Eastern Conference championship threat again.?

Other Iverson trade suggestions include:

Reggie Miller (19.3 career average) and Jamaal Tinsley (9.4 points per game, 8.1 assists per game) in a heartbeat from Indiana, and throw in someone else (Speedy Claxton? Snow?) if the Pacers wanted to unload Austin Croshere to come off Brown's bench. But would Indiana stake its future on Iverson? (RealGM note: Iverson for Miller and Tinsley works financially, but adding Croshere for Claxton or Snow would probably not work).

A Memphis offer of Shane Battier and its lottery pick (Dajuan Wagner?) would be attractive. (RealGM note: This trade is not even close to matching salaries)

There are rumblings of an overhaul in Milwaukee, and Ray Allen (and a deal-sweetener) sure would look nice in a 76ers uniform at the three-point line (RealGM note: The ?sweetner? would have to be less than $2 million in value).

New Orleans (formerly Charlotte) is looking to make a splash, and what better way than landing Iverson? A sign-and-trade of Baron Davis, a draft pick and maybe even George Lynch tagging along to be reunited with Brown? (RealGM note: Baron Davis is under contract for the 2002-03 season and can?t be signed-and-traded until NEXT summer. And, when he is re-signed, he will almost definitely be a Base Year Compensation player, which will make him difficult to trade).
