You know how some things just seem right from the start and other things you know do not  have a prayer of working out? Like your best  bud introduces you to his new girlfriend and you just know that this  woman is nothing but trouble. You can’t say anything because then you will lose your pal; so you keep your Frickin yap shut and wait to pick up the Frickin pieces. Then there are other times when you know that things were just Frickin meant to be! New York Vinnie has the feeling that is exactly what is going on right now in the ongoing talks between the Philadelphia 76ers and Free Agent guard Allen Iverson.

The “Associated Press” reported that Iverson and his agent Leon Rose met in Dallas with Sixers head coach Eddie Jordan and Team President Ed Stefanski for two hours to see if the two sides could agree on a contract deal. The  76ers will be without their starting point guard Louis Williams for what is being said to be an eight week period as he had surgery last Thursday morning to repair a broken jaw. Iverson is looking for a starting gig in the NBA and is interested in possibly going back to the team and the city he started his NBA career with.

Stefanski released a statement after the meeting concluded. He said “This afternoon, we met with free agent Allen Iverson in Dallas for the first formal discussion regarding a possible return to the Philadelphia 76ers. The meeting … covered a variety of topics, all of which we would prefer to keep between the team and Allen. At this time, both parties remain non-committal regarding a final decision and we will continue to discuss internally whether or not to pursue this course. We want to thank Allen, Leon and Gary for taking the time to meet with us today.”

To break that down for you bottom line is neither side right now is showing their Frickin hand. However New York Vinnie in my gut believes that this deal will happen because there are so may things that make this a good fit. Do not be surprised at by the end of this week Iverson is sporting the Sixers colors.
