Sixers GM Billy King indicated that talks relating to Allen Iverson had been going on but that they weren't as intense or extensive as they were reported to be, according to a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"The calls weren't just for Allen," King said yesterday. "I think [ESPN's] Andy Katz and those guys on TV made it seem like Boston had been steadily calling them and they're in negotiations. Every time I'm looking at it, I'm thinking I've been talking to more people about trying to get picks than talking to Danny Ainge," the Celtics' executive director of basketball operations.
"But the calls weren't just people calling about Allen. People were calling about a lot of other guys. People also wanted to move up to 13."

Two people running NBA teams insist Philadelphia president Billy King has been very active in calling clubs to find the best possible deal he can for Allen Iverson.
Danny Ainge appears to want Iverson in Boston badly, but he did say that they didn't acquire Sebastian Telfair to trade him.
"We didn't trade for Sebastian Telfair to send him to another team," Ainge said. "We got him to keep him. He's going to be a part of our team."
