Is AI the Answer?

The entire NBA has been holding their collective breath for the last weak waiting to see where Allen Iverson is going to land. Golden State, Indiana, Boston, Sacramento, Dallas just to name a few. However the question I must ask is will it matter where he lands?
Does Allen Iverson make that much of a difference? Sure 5 years ago that would be a stupid question, but at this point in his career does he bring enough benefit to negate his negatives. He is a locker room cancer. He doesn't like to practice and he doesn't always play hard. He can score sure and he does pass (sometimes), but is it worth giving up young talent for a guy that may or may not take you to the top?
Boston: Does it really matter? This franchise is in shambles. The Celtics are quickly becoming the Detroit Lions of the NBA. Danny Ainge changes his mind so may times it' impossible to know what he'll do from day to day. AI will put some butts in the seats in B town but that's about it. The Celts need much more than an aging AI.
Sacramento: Props to the Kings. Philly rightfully wanted Kevin Martin but the Kings said no. The one thing teams can't do is give up Franchise players for AI who is really just an expensive roll player.
Indiana: This is a realistic possibility. The Pacers are a team on the verge of needing to rebuild. The can afford to take a risk and trade some younger players to add a scorer of Iverson's ability. AI outside and Jermaine O'Neal inside makes for a scary combination and in a weak Eastern Conference who knows what can happen in the playoffs.
Golden State: An intriguing possibility. Iverson would definitelyfit with "Nelley Ball" and they do have some intriguing players that should interest the Sixers. The real question for the Warriors is are you willing to give up Jason Richardson and probaly Troy Murphy and a draft pick for AI?
Dallas: Actually this is probably the best place for AI, however Mark Cuban denies the Mavs are interested. Dallas could probably get Iverson without giving up the franchise and he would definitely help Dirk Nowitzki. However I don't see AI getting along with Avery Johnson and I don't think he'd be happy with playing second fiddle to Dirk.

All of this leads to this conclusion: who knows where he'll end up. I'd guess Indiana will win the sweepstakes but really nobody knows.
