Iverson, Grizzlies to meet in Atlanta

Allen Iverson has dropped his strongest hint yet that he will soon be joining
the Memphis Grizzlies, announcing via his Twitter account Sunday night
that he has a face-to-face meeting scheduled Monday with Grizzlies owner
Michael Heisley and other club officials.

AI在他的Twitter上宣佈將於禮拜一與灰熊老闆Michael Heisley會面

"I want to help them develop a winner," Iverson wrote.

AI：「我想幫助他們(灰熊)成為一個勝利者 」

Reached later Sunday by ESPN.com, Heisley confirmed
that the meeting will take place Monday in Atlanta,
where Iverson has been working out in preparation for next season.

灰熊老闆證實將於禮拜一和AI在亞特蘭大會面

Yet Heisley cautioned that an agreement in principle with Iverson has not yet
been reached, saying: "[The meeting] does not mean it's a done deal.
He wants to meet and have some questions answered and we want to meet."

Heisley：「這次會面不代表定會拍板定案，他(AI)想詢問一些細節 我們也想與他會面」

Memphis is believed to be the only team actively pursuing
the four-time scoring champion and has established
its willingness to sign Iverson to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million.

灰熊是唯一積極爭取AI的球隊，並提供了1年3.5m的合約

The Grizzlies, at Heisley's behest,
have been trying to convince Iverson to jointhem since free agency began,
ignoring concerns about the 34-year-old accepting a reserve role or his ability
to co-exist in the same offense with O.J. Mayo, Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph
because of Iverson's presumed ability to generate interestand sell tickets for
a franchise that has languished in the shadow of John Calipari's Memphis Tigers.

在Heisley的授意下 ，灰熊從AI成為自由球員開始就一直積極爭取加盟
無視於AI的個人能力在同一個體系下和Mayo GAY 軟豆腐三者是否相互牴觸

Iverson has spent much of the past two months hoping
that a firm offer would materialize from the Miami Heat, New York Knicks
or Charlotte Bobcats -- the latter to reunite with former coach Larry Brown
--but was ultimately forced to concede
that only the Grizzlies havethe financial flexibility and definite interest
to make a commitment to Iverson
after his nightmarish 2008-09 season with the Detroit Pistons.

AI在過去兩個月對幾隻球隊表示效力意願
包括邁阿密熱火 紐約尼克 ，或者到夏洛特山貓和七六人時期的前教練布朗爺團聚

但最終不得不承認，只有曼菲斯灰熊有足夠的薪資空間&奉上一定的合約金額
