A source said one possible Allen Iverson scenario involving the Celtics was to send Theo Ratliff, Delonte West, Sebastian Telfair, and Al Jefferson to Philadelphia for Iverson. Gerald Green is reportedly untouchable.

"I turned the TV on and there were rumors galore," said Doc Rivers. "I think I read that Bird, McHale, and Parish were going to be in the deal.

"It's crazy what's going on. I hope it gets resolved for a lot of reasons. For every team whose name's involved, I hope it gets resolved. Two, Al has been great in the league and I hope that it's resolved for him and the Sixers."

When asked if he would like to coach Iverson, a diplomatic Rivers said, "I like coaching the guys I coach right now."
