According to Chris Broussard of ESPN, the Bulls interest in Allen Iverson is real.

Broussard said that the Bulls would be looking to bring Allen Iverson in on either the biannual exception or on the veteran’s minimum.

Broussard also said that a sign and trade deal for Iverson to Chicago, is very, vey, very unlikely.

Allen Iverson would be an interesting signing for the Bulls, and probably a good value on the LLE or veteran’s minimum. If Iverson has a good year, the Bulls would probably be able to sneak into the playoffs. At the very least, Iverson would give Bulls fans something to talk about, in what looks to be a bad year for Bulls basketball.

I think the reason for a sign and trade being unlikely is that the Pistons don’t want to make a deal with the Bulls. If the Bulls were to do a sign and trade with the Pistons, with Ben Gordon going to the Bulls and Allen Iverson, on a cheap contract, going to the Bulls, the Bulls would receive a trade exception. The Pistons aren’t going to want to help out a division rival by giving them a trade exception.
