The real thread le must have been :

Iverson to Spurs? 10K reasons Why Not do it.

[romain.star]

Iverson and Spurs in the same sentence is just weird

[Old School 44]

Yes, sign Iverson!!!
I'd love to see him and Tony go at it in practice.
Oh yeah, I forgot, AI doesn't like practice.

[Morg1411]

Iverson. Keep his ass outta here.

[Spur-Addict]

No

[quentin_compson]

Iverson should really go to San Antonio and accept a 6th man role.

Well, he can't, even if he wants to. I think that became pretty obvious this year in Detroit. Iverson can't change his game, therefore he is not a player that will give you 15 good minutes from the bench.

[koriwhat]

that idea! iverson needs to retire.

[Spursone]

Allen Owens and Terrell Iverson are one in the same. Think about how things go during that first "PRACTICE!"

[angelbelow]

iverson is one of my favorite players. hes a dominant scorer. BUT he does not improve a teams offense. hes a great individual scorer but once you lock him down he doesnt have a smart play making abilities to be effective. thats the irony of allen iverson, great soccer that will actually make an offensive team worse.

[Bukefal]

If you have questions, look at the graphic again.

Definitely a no!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Iverson loves coming off the bench.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

He didn't want to do that for Detroit, what makes you think he will here?

That's the most accurate description of Tony I've ever red... you sure you're not talking about Tony????

but tony doesnt have the ego or pride ai has.

Allen Iverson - DNP (pride)

I'd like to see how TP would react to being benched.

Have...bonner...start

No and no. The Spurs do not want to become the place where old men and redheads come to die.

[imagevo]

Iverson has great qualities guys
1. He's a punkass piece of

[Russ]

I'd rather sign Finley to a 5 year extension and trade for Beno.

Doesn't Steve Smith even rate a mention?

[ALVAREZ6]

lol Iverson himself has said he will retire if he does not start...so I don't believe this is a valid option. And certainly not an option financially.

[jacobdrj]

Theres two types of benches, a bench player playing bench minutes, and a bench player playing starter minutes. Iverson in Detroit was playing bench minutes which is why he got pissed, I dont think he would mind if he played starter minutes.

He wasn't conditioned because he had missed 2 weeks. They were going to work him into the rotation. He got impatient. He quit.

I am sure he will enjoy being the man on the Bobcats.

[spurspokesman]

Please! Have you not been paying attention? Did you not see how he literally "caved in" two franchises - DEN and DET? Why the would you want a cancer like him on the Spurs? Besides, if he couldn't accept a 6th man role in Detroit, he'd never accept that role anywhere. It's a moot point anyway because Pop would never allow it.

Iverson is the basketball version of Terrell Owens. He's only concerned about his touches and couldn't give a damn about winning or committing toward playing championship-level basketball, which, by the way, encompasses teamwork and great chemistry.

I hope he ends up with a losing team like the Clippers or Warriors. That way, he can get all the shots he wants, drive up his scoring average and lose every night. I'm sure that would make him very happy.

Preach

[spursfan4eva]

AI would be great addition to us. Him and tony parker arent same type of players like many explaining here. Tony is more like the better version of chauncey billups.
Tony is scorer, better scorer then chauncey billups. But AI is great scorer, and would pawn both of them in that category. But when it comes to point guarding, tony knows how to run a team. He is the better point guard, AI is just average point guard. He has assist numbers, because of his passing skills. But he doesnt run offense at all. He is average PG, great scorer. Tony is good scorer, and great PG.


IMO we should go after him, and after rasheed wallace as well. Dont come to me with george hill, roger mason and future. Tim duncan is in the thirtees. He is special kind of player, when he retires we wont be the same. Our time is to win now with him. Developing george hill, roger mason wont take us anywhere. Unless we draft another tim duncann one day lol.

I also dont take AI's time at detroit much serious. It was obvious they did it for salary dumping. They didnt bother about winning with AI. Which I think pissed off some of their players. especially inserting that rookie into the starting lineup.

Have parker, ginobli, bonner/udoka, duncan, kurt thomas start
bring iverson off the bench that'd be a perfect role for him, they need scoring desperately I also belive Greg Popovich is respected enough (won championships) that Iverson would bend his HUge ego and listen.
That would probably be iverson's best chance at a le. Or Maybe same thing in Boston. If he doesn't accept a bench role, 6th man type no one will sign up pretty much.

I'm not sure how anyone can post this with a straight face after how he destroyed Denver while he was there and turned Detroit into a mediocre ballclub almost overnight.

He's a cancer. Veto.

I'd like to see how TP would react to being benched.

You've already seen it....... remember the 2003 finals? Remember the Jason Kidd ordeal which would have made him second fiddle as well?

And his reaction? See his performance this season....
