Revisionist history is a dangerously fun kind of history. It allows us to re-imagine outcomes and scenarios with the benefit of hindsight, exchanging a less-favorable actual past for a more desirable imaginary version. In the process, we forget about potential obstacles or reasons something might not have been so great. Hey, if we’re reinventing a fictional past, we get to decide the terms, right?
So let’s dig into a fun item from Adrian Wojnarowksi’s recent podcast with The Vertical in which he talks to former 76ers GM Billy King. In the podcast, King reveals that former Philadelphia star guard Allen Iverson was amenable to a trade to the Timberwolves in 2006, in order to team up with Kevin Garnett.
