Iverson Looking for New Team
Allen Iverson and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to part ways and to void their contract. When Iverson left the team last week because of a “family matter”, it was clear AI would in most likelyhood never return to the team. The Grizzlies made it official yesterday, as they waived the guard. Iverson is now free to sign with any team, if he is able to find one that is actually willing to take him.
Iverson has already contacted Charlotte and New York, among other teams, expressing his desire to play for them, but the answers have not been very enthusiastic ones. Larry Brown has a talented group of young players, and he knows adding Iverson would only hurt their development. Cleveland has already said that they have zero interest. Only New York seems to at least want to entertain the idea of signing Iverson. After a 1-10 start, the Knicks are slowly becoming desperate. Allen Iverson would at least bring some excitement to the Garden. The goal for the Knicks is still to make it through the season somehow and to develop their young players. And then to sign LeBron James in the Summer, of course.
I can not imagine any other team besides the Knicks being willing to bring in Iverson. Even they will probably realize that the negatives largely outweigh the positives, and decide to pass. Therefore, I expect The Answer to remain without a team.
