Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley wants to meet with Allen Iverson and is seriously considering a one-year, $5 million offer, according to team insiders.

The Memphis front office is split on whether or not signing Iverson would be a wise move. The final decision will rest with Heisley.

The Grizzlies would make clear to Iverson that he would be sent home or banished for any perceived act of insubordination.

In preparation for signing him, the Grizzlies have talked about building a "timeout room" under the stands in anticipation of his tantrums.

Seriously, how is it a good idea to pair Iverson with Mayo?

It's better than what they are doing now. The Grizzles have nothing to lose by signing AI. They can only gain. Right now the Grizzles can't even pay fans to show up at games. Now they not only will sell tickets but there will be an interest in the Grizzles. We are paying role players like Duhon and Jeffries about 6 mil this up and incoming season. I don't see a problem with the Grizzles who no one cares about signing AI for 1 year. I think teams will have to worry if they are playing the Grizzles. Whereas playing the Grizzles before was a guaranteed win.

Gay
Zach

Are you on crack, Iverson sucks and is going to destroy that team along with Zach. He nearly destroyed Melo's game and hasn't been good for a while. Nate Robinson is a better player at this point in his career and that isn't a joke.

07-08 season AI avg'd 26pts 7 assists 2 stls, shot 45% fr the field and 80% from the line. Melo avg'd 26 pts 7 rebs 3+ assists and shot a career high 49% and Denver won 50 games.

AI may not have been what that team needed but to say he sucks, hasn't been good for awhile, and nearly destroyed Melo's game is a bit out there

Well, I think we would all admit the Memphis GM is so bad it isn't even worth my time to look up his name. He sucks. And he's doing the same half assed bull**** attempt to rebuild the team as Isiah did... look for cheap talent with little to no consideration why the cost is so low

What did he average last year. How much better was the team when they got rid of him. What did he do to the pistons? The guy dominates the ball is selfish plays no defense and brings very little to the table at this point. We don't need 15 shots a game wasted.

I want chandler playing close to 40 minutes a night, gallo out there for 30, Douglas getting 15, Nate getting 30 Duhon getting 25, we need to build value not destory it.

Bad enough we have to watch Harrington fire for 25 feet and not look for the open man. We need out talent if it is talent to develop.

You think if he could really help Cleveland wouldn't have offered him a contract, miami, washington, who could have kept there pick. That says all you need to know about his value.

I actually think Iverson is due for a resurgence but he needs to be in the right situation - Detroit and Denver were bad (although he should have succeeded in Denver so maybe I am wrong)

Maybe he will have it in Memphis if he's considered the guy, assuming ZBo is okay with that. That's the problem with Iverson, he will not defer to the team at all and why both he and the Pistons pretended he was injured and shut him down last season. Or they roll two or three basketballs onto the court.

I think it says a lot about his attitude that he'd rather go to Memphis than be a piece of a contender or a team on the verge of a turnaround

His name is Chris Wallace and people are pretty much asking when he will be receiving his championship ring from the Lakers.

Horrible combination in Memphis. Bad market, bad GM.

he didn't waana be there and mailed it in. I'm not saying bring AI here but I don't believe he is finished either.

As far as the sitch in Denver they had Nene healthy this year. He missed mostly all of 07. Huge difference.
