So he quit the Griz to join the Knicks...

What a loser...just retire already.

Re: AI/Grizzlies agree to terminate contract

Is it possible he could be going to the Knicks not only because no one wants to touch him with a 10 foot pole but also because he could sorta redeem himself and 'nicely' ask for a trade to a contender come the trade deadline?

My thoughts exactly. This whole thing is just a waste of time. He says he wants to win, but could possibly be with two of the worst teams in the league. This shows you that it's not all about talent. No one likes a crybaby.

Even if he plays well and changes his act to February no one will give up any assets for him.

Best thing for him to do is train and practice and wait till February when the contenders will be looking to make a splash in trades. Most won't and will see AI on the market and hopefully by then his act is cleaned up and he is committed to winning no matter what the cause.

I want to see him go to a winning team where he has a chance to win the ring. Not to a team where he will be on only to average around 20+ PPG. As of now though keeping the average and minutes up is more important to him than succeeding on a winning level. Shame AI, shame.

agreed and if he gets a chance to sign with a contender now he should go for it

definitely he sounds confused right now (ring vs grizz or knicks)

[ehh]

Re: AI/Grizzlies agree to terminate contract

AI doesn't give a damn about a ring right now if you ask me, he just wants to get a lot of minutes still IMO. I bet in AI's mind he doesn't think he should be going for the "old vet coming off the bench for a contender" until he's 36 or 37, he thinks he still has one or two more years left as a team's main option. And there's certainly no doubting that he'll be the Knicks #1 option, and probably #2 and #3.

You know that he already played for the Nuggets, right? Why in the hell would Denver pick him up again?

Its the Knicks though. I would assume the only asset they would want is an expiring deal or money for 2010.

You know Karl has already said he would consider Iverson if a guard went down with injury right??

So Karl wants to ruin the chemistry of his team? Fine by me, I'm a Lakers fan.

and that's the saddest part but this is AI's world and this is the way he is - can't judge him for that
