Allen Iverson Gets a Sizable Offer from Indoor Soccer Team http://media.zenfs.com/en/blogs/sptusnbaexperts/96449110.jpg NBA legend Allen Iverson is in the middle of considerable financial disaster right now, currently holding such little cash that a judge has ordered his wages garnished to pay back a jewelry debt of more than $850,000. The guy needs money as fast as possible, and for Iverson that means getting a basketball job. Yahoo!'s own Adrian Wojnarowski reported two weeks ago that Iverson has an offer to play in Puerto Rico, and Chris Broussard of ESPN.com cites sources claiming he'd spend some time in the D-League if it meant a chance at an NBA job. Iverson is clearly looking for an answer (pardon the pun) to both his financial woes and diminished standing in the sporting world. And while desperate times call for desperate measures, some offers are just too ridiculous to consider. For instance, an indoor soccer club has now extended a not-insubstantial offer to Iverson. Here's the official press release from the Rochester Lancers (via EOB): ' The Rochester Lancers, of the MISL's top level of pro indoor soccer, today announced a contract offer to former NBA star, Allen Iverson. The Rochester Lancers host two remaining regular season home games to conclude their season. The offer stands at $20,000 per game, with a bonus of $5,000 per goal scored, win bonuses, and merchandise bonuses. There are over 12 goals scored on average per game. "Allen Iverson is one of the premier athletes of our time," said Rich Randall, Vice President of the Rochester Lancers. "With his athleticism and competitive hunger, I think he can be a great fit with our team and fans as we make an important playoff push, while also driving interest to an exciting, growing sport." If accepted, the Lancers have also offered to host his friends and family through the duration of his stay. With the per-game pay and bonuses, this offer will come close to the offer (per game) set by Turkish basketball team, Besiktas and ultimately keeping him the United States.' Link

It's not just Gameday topics, B. It seems to be happening in the soccer subsection too: Cobb and Paul (N4S) post and I don't see them 'cause their posts don't appear in 'New Content'. Obviously, the same problem Simba, WarreToThaG, Kobe24, ChosenOne and Nitro are having.

CELTICS' GARNETT OUT VS. PISTONS Boston forward Kevin Garnett will miss the game for personal reasons and backup forward Brandon Bass did not make the trip because of a sore left knee. “This was a road trip I had really been looking forward to,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said. “We thought Kevin would be good and Brandon would be healthy. Now, we don’t have either one for this game and maybe two, so that makes it a tough trip.” Chris Wilcox, who played with the Pistons last year, will start in place of Garnett. JaJuan Johnson and Greg Stiemsma will get increased minutes. The Pistons defeated the Celtics 98-88 five nights ago and Detroit coach Lawrence Frank is certain Boston will have revenge on its mind. “They’re going to come out and try to impose their will defensively,” said Frank, a Celtics assistant last season. “Every pass, every dribble, every shot will be contested and they’re really going to focus on freeing up Paul (Pierce) and Ray (Allen), getting those guys open shots.” http://tbt.blogs.nba.com/2012/02/19/celtics-at-pistons-6-p-m-et/
