Iverson to Bobcats?
Dime Magazine reported Friday night that the Charlotte Bobcats and Allen Iverson had agreed to terms that would be announced next week.
According to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer, however, the Iverson-to-Bobcats deal is not a done deal.
As Bonnell points out, the Bobcats are close to the luxury tax, but the main challenge of bringing in Iverson would be his willingness to accept his role. The Bobcats currently have Raymond Felton, Raja Bell, D.J. Augustin and rookie Gerald Henderson who will all get significant minutes in the backcourt.
"He's done a lot for me, and if we could work it out -- the money, the opportunity to play -- I'd be all for it,'' Brown said [earlier in the week, per Bonnell]. "He's always been good, always been there.''
Iverson didn't respond favorably to coming off the bench in Detroit. So, why would he be willing to come off the bench for the Bobcats and Larry Brown despite his preference to play for Brown?
