Pretty high on speculation, but here's a link

I actually thought about this one too. 
Yup

I hadn't thought of that one but I could see it working.  Lou Williams might be better for them as a burst of scoring off the bench, and he's gonna be out for a while anyway.

They have very little shooting ability in their starting lineup so Iverson would help them with that.  Plus he has history in Phillie...it makes sense.  I don't think it would make them a much better team, but it's probably the best destination I can think of for him at the moment.

Will he be backing up Jrue Holiday?

LOL, with Louis Williams out, it's the only place he can start.

I could see him in Charlotte, I think they are already better with Jackson and AI would probably make them a dangerous low ranking playoff team.

I wouldn't have agreed with you before this season, since they already have Augustin and Felton, but both of those players have been playing pretty badly so far this year (especially Augustin).

I'm actually the opposite: I liked AI to Charlotte before the season started. They had no go-to scorers and they play solid defense, so he would be able to come dominate the ball and gamble on D.  The D is still there, but with Jax in town they don't seem to need the scoring punch anymore.

We'll see if they keep scoring points over the next week or so. 'Small sample size' is very much in effect thus far.
