Allen Iverson's market shrinks by two

After the Heat traded center Mark Blount for veteran swingman Quentin
Richardson late Thursday night, the Miami Herald's Mike Wallace wrote:

"Considering the slightly higher luxury-tax bill, this could be the unofficial
end to any interest the Heat had in acquiring Allen Iverson. There already were
concerns about potentially getting everyone enough shots before Richardson came
aboard. Iverson, a pure scorer, won't be needed as much."

Richardson ($9.3 million) makes more than Blount ($7.9 million) so that
accounts for the luxury-tax hike.

Also, the 76ers are in the market for backcourt help with the free-agent
defection of Andre Miller to the Trail Blazers, but CSNPhilly.com reported this
week that a return to the team where Iverson became a household name was
unlikely.

"Allen Iverson is a very good basketball player," 76ers general manager Ed
Stefanski said. "But we don't see him in our plans with the age of our kids. We
are going to go with youth at the point guard position, and I am sure Allen
will hook on with someone."

Iverson's options for a 14th NBA season are getting more limited.
