Allen Iverson likes Grizzlies - 籃球

July 2, 2009 · Filed Under

The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports: Several NBA sources have confirmed
to me that controversial and wildly popular guard Allen Iverson - through
representatives - has made the Grizzlies aware that he would like to play
in Memphis. The veteran, prolific scorer is a free agent for the first time
in his professional career. While no deal is imminent and conversations have
been only cursory, Griz brass are said to be internally weighing the pros
and cons of possibly adding Iverson to the team’s youth movement.

Iverson would certainly have to take a major pay cut from the $21 million
he earned last season with Detroit. The Griz would only entertain Iverson
with what they’d deem a reasonable price, and if the 34-year-old agreed
to play off the bench.

InsideHoops.com editor says: Adding Iverson would spark some team interest,
ticket sales and maybe a few wins for the Grizzlies, but not really accomplish
much more than that. It would probably wouldn’t help the development of the
young players Memphis is actually building around. Adding Iverson would be a
small temporary boost.
