Finally!!! Allen Iverson has a team to play for and all this madness of “The Answer” being left out in the cold is over and he can get back on his Grizzly. Literally!
Allen Iverson will sign a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Memphis Grizzlies in the next 24 to 48 hours, ending a summer-long pursuit of a team that wanted the 34-year-old’s game and cache and would provide him an opportunity for the playing time he still desperately covets.
Via Twitter Iverson tweeted “God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career,” he wrote. “I met with Mr. Heinsley, Chris Wallace and my next head coach Lionel Hollins.”
He 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.”
A back court of Allen Iverson and OJ Mayo with Rudy Gay flying down the wing for spectacular finishes??? Yes please!
