Answering the Call: A.I. Speaks on Heat

Source: http://www.ethiopianreview.com/articles/17671


We've been through the hows and whys of a potential Allen Iverson-to-Miami deal
. Forget the details, financial issues, and likelihood Pat Riley's billionth
off-season phone call works out.

Thanks to some tasty comments, now is the time for unbridled, manic wanting.
It's more common than common sense, but it's also all the fun of being a fan —
and hey, there's fuel!

See, Iverson's interested in the Heat. Very interested. He said so himself
following a charity function last night, and further made us all tingly inside
confirmed he'd be open to a one-year deal.

"The fact that Dwyane [Wade] is there and Pat Riley has something to do with
personnel, it seems like a great situation," Iverson said. "I just want a
situation where I can win and be happy. Being that those two guys are there,
man, it just seems it'll be a good deal."

"It'll" — he said "it'll!" We can make you happy, Mr. Iverson — right here in
Miami.

Seems like Iverson knows it. "[Wade's] looking for a guy who can take some of
the pressure off him, and he can take some pressure off me," he said, comparing
the potential relationship to the one he had with Carmelo Anthony in Denver.

His agent, Leon Rose, said the two parties are talking. "Some offers are on the
table and discussions are ongoing," Rose said. "That's all I can really say at
this point about that."

It's a start, though still a long way from an actual agreement. Iverson would
have to agree to a pay cut, but that's an actual possibility considering his
limited options. Owner Mickey Arison already gave Pat Riley the okay to dive
into luxury tax territory, providing it's for either a starter or impact
rotation player; the Heat likely see Iverson as the latter, where he could be
incredibly effective — but how much of the latter?

The Answer says he's gotten used to the idea of not starting, but that's not to
say he wants to idly watch Mario Chalmers for four quarters. "With 15 or 20
minutes [of playing time], I may as well stay home and play with my kids," he
said. "I can help a team way more than that. I'm not saying I have to start. I
want people to know you should earn that. Beat me out. Let's go to camp, and
may the best man win. I promise that you won't."

Is…is this room spinning? Because we feel faint.

If there's one thing that might push Riley into taking on The Answer despite
his focus on next summer, it's the public "encouragement" he's been getting
from Wade to make a move.

Consider us — and most of Miami — joining in.
