Iverson was very emotional when he learned the 76ers were giving him another chance.
X: Hello everyone, I would like to announce, that yes, we have signed Allen to a 1 year deal. He was very impressive in his workout and his interview. We feel we are on the same page for this to work out great this year.
Reporter: What will Allen's role be with the team?
X: The plan is for him to be the backup and mentor for Evan Turner. Allen is still explosvie, and we feel he can provide a huge spark off our bench, where we were previously lacking guard depth.
Reporter: Aren't you worried about this somehow ruining the chemistry of this young team?
X: Like I mentioned, this was all discussed before we offered him a contract. We all believe we are on the same page. Allen just wants to help us win ball games. The regular season starts very soon. We just have to focus on getting ready for that.
Reporter: Will you be making any more roster moves before the season begins?
X: Barring anything unforeseen, this will be the roster we open the season with. Thanks for your time guys.
