Allen Iverson says he wants to play the rest of his career with the Philadelphia 76ers.
“I want to be right here,” Iverson said after Tuesday’s practice. “If I could have a wish, I would wish it’s the last time I have to say that. I would wish people would know this is where I want to be.”
Iverson was responding to a story in Tuesday’s edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer that said his agent met with Sixers president Billy King last week to express the star guard’s unhappiness over the direction of the team and that he wanted to be traded if there weren’t roster upgrades.
King did meet with Iverson’s agent, Leon Rose, but insisted Tuesday he doesn’t have an unhappy All-Star on his team.
“He never asked to be traded and he does not want to be traded,” King said.
Mobley fined: Sacramento guard Cuttino Mobley was fined $10,000 by the NBA on Tuesday for his protest after referees did not call goaltending on his last-minute shot during a loss to Dallas onFriday. Mobley had to be restrained from going after the officials by teammate Brad Miller.
