    Where do you think he goes?

    Iverson has always been my favorite player and it sucks to see him not be able to gel with the 2 teams hes been to after the sixers. I think the reasons he hasent been doing well with denver and detriot is he wasnet the go to guy. Carmelo was the go to guy in denver and in detroit it was just a mess. He got injured and comeing off the bench doesent work for him. I dont think he should be a bench player anyway.One analyst said that the timberwolves would be a good option. They have al jefferson there and AI could be the go to guy again. I would love to see that happen i think they could be a decent duo. What do you guys think? He wont win a championship there but he could have some decent success.

    cuban will sign him

    Crowned Doesn't give a shit.

    He's a natural point guard, he doesn't need to be the go to guy, he needs to command his troops out there and be the coach on the court. When he gets an open look or a lane to the basket then he should score. Other then that make the necessary passes to get an open look.

    You mean Al Jefferson?

    That wouldnt be a terrible fit IMO. That team needs to build around Big Al, a 23/11 guy. AI isnt the type of PG you want when you are building around low post players like Jefferson and Love

    IMO his best be would be a run and gun team like Pheonix, Toronto or NY

    K Train Do You Honeycutt?

    he'll be a spur just because they will do anything to not get younger.

    the best part of the interview is the very last part "how the hell can i make my teammates better by practicing?!?!!?"

    he will end up with who ever will let him start which means Europe

    you do realize he is 30something years old and no where near the player he once was right?

    Yea thats who i meant. It would be depressing to see him in a knick uniform i hate the knicks. In pheonix wouldent he come off the bench?

    Hes not as good as before but still good.

    Mike Want some Cheetos?

    at this point in time, he needs to realize that his starting days are over
    he could be one hell of a 6th man, bringing energy and scoring

    but having a chip on your shoulder about not starting is nuts, face the facts AI

    He said he would rather retire than come off the bench. I dont know if he was really serious about it when he made those comments. I wouldent mind that then the sixers can retire his jersey. In the nba can you sign those 1 day contracts and retire like the nfl?

    funniest post of the year.

    baskett - iverson will end up somwhere for the mid level exception where they need to put people in the seats. that's all he's worth at this time. denver made the best trade ever by getting rid of his washed up butt and his attitude.

    heck we could've drafted paul peirce if it wasnt for him but king and brown knew it wouldn't work because AI is too selfish.

    ton of "indiviual" talent but lousy team player. he'd be a perfect fit for th And! street ball senior tour.

    I wonder if he would consider playing in europe i bet they would pay him alot.

    If he says he'd rather retire than come off the bench then get ready for the rocking chair cause I can't see any team signing him and keeping him as their starter.
    Hope he finds an all about AI team out there somewhere.

    Theres teams out there that would still start him. Hes still able to start in this league.
