Guest The Situation Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 In a less than surprising move, the Sixers announced they have officially guaranteed the contract of Allen Iverson for the remainder of the season. Iverson signed a pro-rated, 1-year contract with the Sixers on Dec. 3, 2009 for just over $1 million. Contract needed to be guaranteed by Jan. 10. "Since his arrival, Allen has done everything asked of him and has been an excellent teammate," said Sixers General Manager Ed Stefanski in a press release. In 9 games this season (all starts), Iverson has averaged 15.7 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.4 rebounds a game. The Sixers are 10-23 and play the Washington Wizards tonight. http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/76ers_guarantee_Iverson.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klashnekoff Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Allen Iverson still all-star material in my opinion. He just wasted 3 years in crap teams (Denver was crap when they had Iverson, Melo hadn't matured yet). It's frustrating that those 3 years were wasted but if given the chance and if Lou is traded hopefully then Iverson can pick up from where he left off.

B-Marsh>R-Moss Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 That's good, I don't think another team will take him and I don't want to see him retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I never understood why in the other article Eddie Jordan spoke so soon and said Allen Iverson would probably be cut. EJ will probably be gone soon if a rift develops between he and A.I. Something like that could get Iverson a possible three to four year deal.

He said exactly the opposite. Warren just made a very misleading thread title (if that is what you are going by). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
