We will now go live to the Philadelphia press conference.....
Media Mr.King, how do you feel about this loss against Detroit?
King Well to be honest, I feel very confident in our squad as one loss cannot weigh us down and we just got to keep working harder at practices and games.
Media Have you found a deal yet with any other NBA squad?
King No, but we are continuing to talk and are keeping our options open to any offer that they might give us.
Media Will we expect any changes in the line-up next game?
King Ummm, well we still haven't decided but me and Maurice (Cheeks) will be talking to each other after this conference about our squad.
Media One last question, will you be trading Allen Iverson as we have been hearing rumours of him going to New York?
King Well I will tell the truth to you here.... Allen will always be a sixer until he retires he is the heart and soul of this foundation and he wont be traded unless we really need to give him up.
