Could A.I. be Heading to the Pacers?

With the Philadelphia 76ers in the process of shipping Allen Iverson, out of town, everyone is clamoring to figure out where his next destination will be. Allen Iverson to the Indiana Pacers seems like a good fit to me.

Indiana's current weak spots are point guard and leadership, and Iverson would provide help with both.

The only question is: What would the Pacers give up in return for Iverson? We know Jermaine O'neal isn't going anywhere, so the players that they will probably shop to Philadelphia are: Marquis Daniels, Jamal Tinsley, Al Harrington, Danny Granger, and Stephen Jackson. I'm not sure a combination of any of those players gets a deal done. Maybe a combination of those players and a couple of future first round draft picks would satisfy the Sixers.

All I know is that it's time for Larry Bird and Donnie Walsh to put their thinking caps on and get a deal done, because the pairing Iverson and Jermaine O'neal would immediately make the Pacers a contender in the east again.
