At least four Western Conference teams remain interested in Allen Iverson, according to several executives in the league: Denver, Memphis, Minnesota, and the Los Angeles Clippers. In the East, Boston and Indiana are interested.

Several executives said they believed a deal would come by the end of the week, after the Dec. 14 deadline passes enabling players who signed contracts over the summer to be included, perhaps in a multiteam deal.

Executives at two N.B.A. teams with knowledge of the Sixers? interest said Tuesday that the Sixers were targeting Warriors forward Troy Murphy, as well as guard Jason Richardson.
