Owner Real Deal Posted February 16, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 First this:Iverson is willing to play in the Caribbean, in South America or even in the D-League if it gives him a chance to return to the NBA, the source said. "Allen only wants to play if there's a possibility that it leads to the NBA," the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "That's the only way he would go to one of these lower leagues. He wants to get back to the NBA and leave the game on his terms."And then you'll read this...Iverson's representatives have reached out to several NBA teams, but none has shown interest in signing the 36-year-old. The Los Angeles Lakers' D-League affiliate, the Los Angeles Defenders, has contacted Iverson's reps several times, but nothing materialized, according to the source.Because Broussard declines to say that Iverson did not want to play in the D-League. The Lakers asked him to play for a week or so, and then come over and play the point in our offense...and he made it clear he did not want any part of that.

I figured it was speculation because there were no direct qoutes from Iverson I just hope he realizes he is his worst enemy and not everyone else.
