yeah thats what we need another scorer who will demand the ball and shots that will fix our offensive woes

[jj1194]

we could be the best fast break team of all time...lmao

[silverblackfan]

I hope not. The Spurs have enough talented guys trying to figure out how to play with each other without a notorious ball hog messing things up. If Iverson was 7', then it would be interesting. The team has lots of talented, lower priced, hard-working, team playing wings. There is no need for an Iverson.

[coyotes_geek]

The Spurs already have their hands full developing on court chemistry amongst the guys they already have. The last thing in the world they need to do is to add a ball hogging cancer into the mix.

[Spurs Brazil]

No.

[admiralsnackbar]

No way, Jose.

I think playing for a contender and having a teammate like Duncan would straighten him out. He'd be a dream pickup.

[jesterbobman]

Aren't the Spurs 4th in the league in offensive efficiency or something. So, in a situation where we don't need offense, where the minutes he'd be taking would be Hills(A far better defender at this point), you want to add another pensioner to the roster. The problem at this point is that we're giving up 107 per 100 possesions. Iverson isn't going to help that. The solution for that is time, check back in 20 games when we start to gel.

If you've ever played basketball and you're sitting on the bench and you know that you can help your team win when they are down 5 or 10 points mid way through the 4th you know how frustrating it can be when your coach doesn't play you.

There are plenty of guys out there who can contain that frustration and keep it from becoming a distraction to the team. AI isn't one of them. Being frustrated is excusable. Being a distraction isn't.

[Dice]

Iverson doesn't have enough game left to be any better than the already avaliable players. His defense is almost non-existant and you'd be allowing penetration and putting your bigs in tough situations.

He's no good for most teams in the league.

[superbigtime]

I do think that was Iverson's number 1 problem. If the team is not playing well and he is not playing then he feels he should be in the game. If the team is playing well and he is on the bench he is fine with it.

Yeah. He only knows one way and that's his way, to be tha man. He doesn't know how to be a teammate and at his age and with his ego, he will only alienate younger players and divide a locker room. But I think if he found a team of like-minded veteran doofus thugs, he could fit in. Oh wait, Denver didn't work out. I was thinking Boston could take him, but why would they need to since they are kicking ass. His attitude is a turn off to such an extent that his talent doesn't matter anymore. I'm in denial, have always been a fan of his. It may be the end of the road for him.

[Supergirl]

I think he'll wind up with Cleveland too, but you gotta wonder if that's a good idea. Of all things Cleveland needs it's not a talented PG (they have Mo Williams) or someone who can score (they have the best scorer in the league). What they need is to figure out how to play together (kind of like the Spurs) and for their key players (read: Shaq) to stay healthy. (kind of sounds like the SPurs, too, hmm?

[raspsa]

Maybe the Lakers will sign him?

Iverson is the ultimate loser. He be the man. Sorry, with the Spurs you is at best the 5th option. He is, at best, a role player. I can imagine the Cadaveliers bringing him in if West is a lost cause. Imagine if the CAVs don't win this year.

Well actually I think Iverson be helpful here as you could start Manu and have offense off the bench.

I don't want Iverson starting here, but as an offensive option off the bench he could be really, really good, especially if he buys into playing defense too.

I don't think AI is willing to do any of that though. Maybe it's worth a conversation with Pop? Maybe it's not.

Don't go trying to start shit with me. that was supposed to be one comment on Iverson and one comment only until you had to try and stir it up.

I still want Jackson way more than any other option out there.

Iverson respects Larry Brown. I thought Memphis was going to fuck up once he signs there. He should just go to Charlotte or somewhere whose coach can demand respect from him.

Um, S-Jax can be had if he was traded by himself. If you wanted to cheat a little bit, you would have to do a 2nd deal with Charlotte.

Technically, this could be done.

Roger Mason + Michael Finley for Stephen Jackson

Then if you wanted to get a 1st rounder or something out of them, you could,

Spurs 2nd rounder for Bobcats top 18 protected pick.

This could be done as 2 seperate deals, but not a combined deal, so the Bobcats and Spurs would have to send two seperate papers to the league.

A recent example would be the Shawn Marion for Jermaine O'Neal trade last season during the ASB.

Shawn Marion for Jermaine O'Neal
Marcus Banks + 1st rounder for Raptors Trade Exception

Because Jermaine was traded for T.J Ford + something during the timeframe.

[Chillen]

If any team in this league can get Iverson back on track it's the Spurs. He has a shot to play for an NBA title, Pop will tell him you bring your baggage here forget it we don't want you. Either be a team player or no deal. With the injury to Tony Parker signing Allen Iverson would make sense for the Spurs as an insurance policy, but only under those terms which would be up to AI to accept or not. The Spurs would be stupid to not contact Iverson and see if he would be willing to accept a reduced role to try and win an NBA title. If he says no to Pop and the Spurs, than he is downright on cloud 9.

[Sotongball21]

1. He is a cancer, as pointed out by the other posters.

2. Team chemistry is going to get hurt again. Then the whole team need to readjust to iverson.

IF he comes, there will be like 7(correct me if i am wrong) new additions this year. THATS A LOT. half the team?

W.t.f.?

Is there any question as to A.I.'s position to playing the role of 6th man, or coming off the bench? Amnesia? 'cause, he's been pretty clear that he's not gonna do it for anyone with all his 'look at my resume' stuff, and his 'why you guys talking about sixth man, how'd that get started' stuff.

The dude quit showing up to work three games into the season because he wasn't starting games, after missing all the preseason and not practicing with his new team with a muscle tear. he was getting twenty minutes a game and playing at the end of some games, despite his allegations of neglect. he complained after his very first game, called out his new teammates and said the team could never win without him or with them as starters, whichever, neither is good. he broke plays during his few appearances, at one point cursing and yelling at the coach for having the temerity of calling a screen for the great A.I.-- "I dont' need no fucking screen to get my shot off!", ... etc., etc..... and good lord, have you guys not been paying attention? This is the here-and-now A.I., not the A.I. of finals fame, or video game imagining, this is the last chance/ best behavior A.I., the A.I. that was told to stay away from the Pistons for a good chunk of last season, the A.I. that couldn't get a contract this off season, the A.I. that has been waived by the .... GRIZZLIES, the Grizzlies, the GRIZZLIES!

Crimminy A.I. fans, let the man go. He's got his $, his gaggle of kids, his scoring titles, and his likely Hall of Fame induction to think of. You've got your fond memories. It's over for A.I., he's gone the way of the Starbury.

A lot of teams could use Iverson if he was willing to change..the problem is that he isn't willing, and that's what makes him a cancer..some guys just aren't meant to play a supporting role, and Iverson is one of those guys..he's also one of the worst defenders in the NBA at this point of his career..

Perhaps Pop could send Manu and he could tell AI how it is. I agree, if AI is not willing to change than forget it. I just think he wants to play with a title contender (Memphis isn't), but if this cancerous ego crap is still going on than let him go play in Europe.

A true winner will accept any role his coach gives him, it's not about you, it's about your team! AI just doesn't get it, but he needs to and fast!!!

Allen Iverson is on the Knicks' radar. Donnie Walsh confirmed tonight that the club will explore signing the former MVP, who parted ways with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Once Iverson clears waivers on Wednesday he will become a free agent and can negotiate with any club.

Is he a good fit for the Knicks? They are 1-9 and desperately need a scorer. However, the Knicks are rebuilding and there is a chance that Iverson's presence would hinder the development of Danilo Gallinari and rookie Toney Douglas.

^ ^ Why the hell not?

You're going nowhere fast, you've got a coach who's as fond of defense as AI, and you've got a fanbase that's doing nothing but counting the days to '10.

The fans in NY have always had a great respect for AI and having him play in the Mecca for a year to pass the time could be a win-win for both parties.

[duncan228]

Iverson's agent says they'd 'be elated' about NY.


A New York Daily News report said the New York Knicks would explore possibly signing Iverson. Team president Donnie Walsh wasn’t committal, telling the Daily News, “We’ll look into it. Right now, I’d say probably not, but we’ll see.”

Moore has not heard anything from the Knicks, but said Iverson would be excited about playing in New York, provided the team’s interest is sincere.

“That’s one of his favorite places to play,” Moore said. “He loves [Mike] D’Antoni’s style of play. He’s always had respect for Donnie Walsh since his days in Indiana. We’d be elated if that is true.

“We don’t want to jump the gun. … But that would definitely be of interest. That would work family-wise with him having family in Philly and his wife having family in New York.”
