the knicks should offer him the midlevel and let him ball out for a year.
especially if that's all that he's looking for, an one year deal to show that he hasn't lost it.

So, RealGM is reporting that Sessions is close to signing an offer sheet with the Timberwolves.
Flynn
Sesssions
Brewer
Love
Jefferson
Where do I sign up? I'd say that's pretty damn close to being on par with OKC, Sessions is damn good. Given time, that's a studly team.
And I'm certain any sane coach wouldn't start Flynn or Sessions in the backcourt together when neither of them can shoot and are undersized. Flynn would likely come off the bench.
Love ~ Green
Jefferson ~ Durant
Brewer and Flynn ~ Harden
they're not as good, but stacking them up against eachother based on potential, it's not terribly far fetched.
Durant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jefferson.
Westbrook >>> Sessions.
Green >>> Love.

Iverson has stated many times he won't accept not starting. That's why he's in the situation he's currently in.
He wouldn't take coming off the bench on a playoff team; why would he on a team not even contending for a playoff spot?

you cant even compare players who play different positions...
no one is saying A.I. deserves a bench role, its just no team is willingly to give him that starter position.
and no thanks on him on knicks. no freaking thanks, as much as i love him. dude is only going to stunt the growth of chandler/gallo.
winning team by 2012-2013? i dont want to say reach because we cant tell what happens in the future, but i would say you're pretty damn optimistic

the goal for the knicks should be to make the playoffs. utah has our pick, might as well not give them a top pick
whose growth has AI stunted in his career?

What the hell you talking about? What do i need to learn? Its what you need to learn instead of reading the average %!$****! off espn insider.
And since he's still not willing to accept a bench role is probably why they still haven't reached an agreement after their meeting. The team has saidnumerous times that they want to role with a Conley/OJ backcourt. Hollins wants Conley to be the starting PG. They've already said they don't want tobring in a guy that's going to take his spot. Maybe that's the reason why they didn't go after Sessions or any other PG that could contend. Ifthat's the case, why would they bring in Iverson to take his spot? That just doesn't make sense.
If he outplays Conley for the PG position by running the position like it suppose to be ran, then he will get it. But, if he's not doing the things that aPG should do which probably won't happen, they will probably get a guarentee from him that he comes off the bench. They could put it in his contract as aclause or something. So, its all on AI. Memphis doesn't have to get him, but if he doesn't want to do what Heisley says, he's probably not going toget signed by anybody.

It doesn't take an ESPN Insider to tell anybody that Memphis is a garbage franchise with Heisley at the reigns...Originally Posted by bhzmafia14

Of course the owner sucks. I don't think any fan of the team would disagree with you on that. We will see how bad the team sucks this upcoming season.Then, we will see how good the OKC franchise will look.

That's how most people view the team since they don't know nothing about them. I've come to find that out on here quickly.
I'm sorry...are you under the assumption I'm from Baltimore or something?

So, if Iverson accepts a bench role in Memphis then what would that say? I think most people would agree that the reason he's not on any other team has todeal with him not accepting a bench role. For all we know, it could be several reasons on why he could be coming to Memphis. I think Memphis still has the mostmoney to offer him or at least be willing to offer him (i'll put it that way). I really don't know his situation honestly. If he does accept a benchrole, it will even confuse things more on why he's playing this season.
This is the most realistic view of the Iverson fiasco:

What wouldve made sgning nate so much better when teams didn't want him either just like they didn't want iverson or zbo? Then it wouldve made mattersworse because he wouldve more than likely got a lon term deal of at least 4 yrs. I don't keep up with ny like that, but is there something going aroundabout him being a bad teammate as well?

Don't you kind of consider our away jerseys now, royal?
I mean they aren't the...
But they are royal.
I'm interested either way though.
