In Amazon ancillary programming from Saturday’s NBA Cup in Las Vegas, Dwyane Wade said that Heat president Pat Riley called him many months after the Heat beat Dallas in the 2006 Finals and “talked to me about the possibility of trading for Allen Iverson. That’s one of my favorite players. And I love him. And I was like, ‘Damn, let’s do it.’”
“He was like, ‘You in?’ I said, ‘I’m in.’ He’s like, ‘We’re going to have to trade UD [Udonis Haslem].’ And I said, ‘I’m out. I’m out.’ That was it. I was out.”
Iverson had demanded a trade from the 76ers in early December 2006, after Philadelphia started the season 5-10.
