Iverson Decision On Grizzlies Offer Could Arrive Friday

Mayo will play the point. I think the whole team would comfortable as long as they are winning more games than last season.

Poor Michael Conley after he improved. Now he is going to be relegated again.

He'd be a starter.. be the most dominant guy in the league. He should go for it.

He will be all that even 5 years from now at 39, so why hurry

Iverson tweet: He's going to Memphis

Allen Iverson announced Wednesday morning that he is indeed joining the Memphis Grizzlies.

Via his Twitter feed, Iverson wrote: "God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career."

Referring to a Monday meeting with Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley, general manager Chris Wallace and head coach Lionel Hollins, Iverson added: "I feel that they are committed to developing a winner and I know that I can help them to accomplish that. I feel that I can trust them."

The Grizzlies are believed to be offering Iverson a one-year deal for $3.5 million, which is far less than the nearly $21 million he earned last season in Denver and Detroit but far more than anyone else was prepared to pay the 34-year-old.

Grizzlies officials did not immediately confirm the signing but have made it clear that they have merely been waiting since last week for Iverson to take their offer.
