Philadelphia ? Here’s what an NBA team in the market for a former MVP would get with Allen Iverson:

One night, Iverson scores 45 points in 48 minutes against Miami, the second time he tops 40 points in three games. Two nights after scorching the Heat, Iverson is whacked with a heavy fine for blowing off a Philadelphia 76ers bowling event for season-ticket holders and corporate sponsors.

For most of Iverson’s 11-year career, the Sixers were willing to look the other way and put up with Iverson’s indiscretions as long as it meant deep runs in the playoffs.

Larry Brown vs. Iverson? Iverson stuck around while Brown won a title in Detroit.

Chris Ford vs. Iverson? Please. No interim coach could control him.

Now with the Sixers (5-14) on a seven-game losing streak and Iverson feuding with coach Maurice Cheeks, the franchise player and the franchise have had enough of each other.

Iverson did last week what he always swore he wouldn’t do: request a trade. The Sixers are ready to grant his wish. Now, it’s up to Sixers team president Billy King to find the right deal for the seven-time All-Star.

The Sixers sent Iverson home the last two games and said on Sunday the four-time scoring champion will be inactive for tonight’s game against Portland. The Sixers then play three more times this week, against Boston on Wednesday, and a Texas back-to-back at Dallas and San Antonio, meaning a deal will likely have to come soon.

The biggest obstacle is Iverson’s hefty salary. He’s due the rest of his $18 million this season, and a combined $40 million through the 2008-09 season.

Chairman Ed Snider said “half the league” had called about Iverson’s availability. Iverson leads the league in scoring with 31.2 points, averages 42.7 minutes and 2.2 steals, making it easy to imagine him providing a needed jolt to a franchise trying to make a championship run.

King had a deal to send Iverson to Boston around NBA draft night, but the Celtics no longer have the No. 7 draft pick they were dangling as bait. King is close friends with Indiana Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh, making it likely those two talked about a deal (perhaps involving point guard Jamaal Tinsley?).

Denver (with Andre Miller); Minnesota (with King fan Randy Foye); and even still the Celtics remain strong targets. Minnesota’s Kevin Garnett and Boston’s Paul Pierce openly have campaigned for their general managers to bring Iverson in.

But could they fit? After all, Iverson never clicked with Jerry Stackhouse, Larry Hughes, Keith Van Horn or Glenn Robinson and couldn’t win with Chris Webber.
