    Chances on Iverson staying retired?

    There's already buzz about the Sixers bringing him back.

    What kind of odds do we give him to come back from his "retirement?" I'd say he has a 5% chance of actually retiring, although my gut just wants to say 0.

    He's going to Philly.

    -98%
    My runs created per 27 posts (RC/27p) was 12.4 last year. I should've been MVP.

    If they can sign a 1 year deal I would think that the move would be nothing but a money maker as Iverson may be the only reason to go see the sixers. Thaddeus Young would lose a lot of playing time though, which is a shame.

    He would take Lou's spot. He's out for 8 weeks.

    ^^^This! Too bad Isiah Thomas is gone though...

    Too many teams need a good slashing guard like him. If the Celtics took a chance on Maurbury and were able to corral him, I can't see at least 5 teams not giving AI a look. Even if it's next year, after he takes this year to chill w/ his family, he'll still be aight off the bench--- if his ego allows that.

    its a joke. i don't know why the Knicks or any team for that matter wouldn't want him for a near minimum type contract. i don't think he's that big of a distraction...although who knows. maybe he thinks he hasn't lost a step, or wants a big money contract. I doubt both to be honest.

    He's not a distraction if you don't talk about practice

    i actually respected him for those statements...because the constant questioning about "practice" was rediculous.

    frustration....he was honest. he didn't say anything most felt untrue, but it was shocking that a professional athlete in such a forum didn't spell the same old jargan. i don't ridicule a player for being honest and showing some charecter in those situation. i find it refreshing.

    There are a few ways to handle that, and the best way is not the way he chose.
