Curry: Iverson, Pistons "Didn't Work"

Are Allen Iverson's days in Detroit over?

According to the Detroit News, Pistons coach Michael Curry spoke on Saturday
as though Iverson's tenture with the team is now over, talking about how both
parties tried to make things work but it just did not happen.

"It just didn't work; it didn't blend well," Curry said before Saturday's
95-90 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. "There was a lot to do with guys
changing roles and accepting different roles you have to play. It's
unfortunate things didn't go as we thought they would."

Curry thinks Iverson, 33, still can be a force in the league.

"He's still a starter in this league; he's going to have a lot of success,"
Curry said. "This was a tough situation this year. As he gets older, he'll
have to do different thing so his body can hold up for the rigors of an NBA
season. He'll probably have to adapt a little bit, because I'm not sure how
many teams will be centered just around him, but he's still a very capable
player, and at times this year, he was really, really good for us.

"A lot of things maybe I could have done better, and the players could have
done better, and maybe he could have done better. All of us, we haven't
gotten it done this year. By no means do I want to make it seem it was just
on Allen.

"The reality is we're in the position we're in, and we have to make the most
of."
