as iverson signs with memphis for 1 year, they will now have to play with 4 basketballs on the court:

gay, mayo, iverson, zach...on the floor...at the same time...

most repeated phrase during memphis timeouts this season: "yo man, i was open"

Sounds like Isiah is running things by proxy.

At least I might now have a reason to watch this team play.

That team is like Denver a few years back.

basically...

this deal shows how lowly gm's see iverson as "fitting a team"...

somewhat amazing, but not 100% shocking, given the guy is a first ballot hofer.

memphis is crazy...

a.i. + z-bo?

holy begeezus...they are DESPERATE for fans to come

It's so nice finally being on the outside looking in as far as these scenarios go.

Soundbytes are inevitable.

Why? He signed with them fully aware of the circumstances. Nobody should feel bad for him right now.

They now have 4 stars/ball hogs. However, if they decide to play together like Boston did 2 years ago when they added Garnett and Ray Allen, then Memphis could very well make the playoffs. And at crunch time, any one of 4 players can legitimately take the last shot. At center, Marc Gasol is a good team oriented player. They don't have too much depth - a lot of young players.

Is Hollins still the coach since Iavaroni got fired? A lot will depend on if the coach can win these guys over so they play together.

"God told me to got to Memphis"

It was really "Alan, nobody else wants to pay you, Camp opens in 20 days, go see Elvis!"

God is talking to AI?

At least he hasn't done it like this to get closer to the light.

We are talking like we are in any better shape then the grizz.

We have a suspect future thats looking more and more suspect by the month. Considering the last 7 years have been so ridiculous to put it politely it tough to ridicule anyone at this point in time.



We now have a lame ass squad that will probably resort to playing selfishly themselves

okay, so we have had a terrible decade, but isiah nor layden are in charge anymore, nor do we rock a roster of potential headcases, who all want the ball for themselves.

okay...we have hughes and harrington, but they are not going to be given the keys to the car this year...

all of this is clearly part of why we didn't sign iverson when we have no one even close to his talent level...i mean 3.5 mil 1 year does nothing to interfere with the cap next year, other than cap hold, but we could renounce his rights and resolve that problem.

At least people come to Knicks games. You couldn't fill a Kia with the Grizz's regular attendance.
