Doc Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Friday night, Dime’s Aron Phillips spoke to an unnamed source who works in the NBA and said that Allen Iverson has worked out the details of a contract with the Charlotte Bobcats, but the deal won’t be official until next week. The general consensus surrounding A.I. is that the 34-year-old is too stubborn to blend into a contender’s system, and at the same time, will stunt the development of any up-and-coming young team. But Iverson in Charlotte could be a win-win for both sides: http://dimemag.com/2009/08/source-allen-iverson-to-the-bobcats/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Damn, I was actually expecting him to go to Houston or Miami. Good sign I guess, I'm glad all the Iverson drama is over now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think Charlotte was the best destination for him, and he will hopefully get them into the playoffs for the first time in their history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deestillballin Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think he will. Iverson was that last piece that they need. They were so close last year and I thnk that Iverson will push them over the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Atleast it's a signing that makes sense. That's always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Looking forward to see how they play him, back with Larry Brown ha. He'll average like 15 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billt chamberlain Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 nooooo why couldnt you go back west iverson. good fit for him though imo. i don't know the details of the rockets rumor, but if was the starting sg(if mcgrady was out), or starting pg(if mcgrady was ok), than that would have been interesting also.

His Greatness Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Dime Magazine's web site reports that Allen Iverson and the Bobcats already have agreed to terms on a contract that will be signed within a week. I'm told by a great source that's not true. However, that doesn't mean Iverson won't be a Bobcat. It sounds like there's a good chance that will happen. My source says definitively that Iverson's first choice is to play for Larry Brown again in Charlotte, and that there have been serious discussions about making that happen.http://blogs.charlotte.com/inside_the_nba/2009/08/no-deal-yet-but-iversontobobcats-viable.html Dime Magazine jumped the gun. If it's true though, I'm glad that AI finally found a suitor, especially in an ideal scenario like Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland's Finest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I like this. Now the Bobcats may actually finish over .500. Iverson also has a chance to prove he's still got it and he will be the first true "playmaker" the Bobcats have had. Poor Felton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iverson also has a chance to prove he's still got it and he will be the first true "playmaker" the Bobcats have had. Poor Felton.I wouldn't go that far. Iverson wasn't the playmaker that Detroit set out for him to be when he became a Piston, but we'll see how much he changes up his game this upcoming season. The signing does make things look shaky for Felton, but still a good sign nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted August 25, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I wonder how this would affect Felton and Dj though...Well, it's still not a done deal, is it? I mean, I don't remember seeing this confirmed anywhere legit. So yeah, as it stands, it throws a curve ball into Felton's plans. He probably has no idea what's going on, and he's got a qualifying offer to pick up, I believe. As for Augustin, he'll be coming off the bench anyways, so I don't see the problem there. He's still too young, inexperienced, and raw at the point guard position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
