Sixers Offer Iverson Non-Guaranteed Deal

Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia’s Dei Lynam is reporting that the 76ers have offered Allen Iverson a non-guaranteed contract.

No word yet on whether Iverson has accepted the deal, but based on this line in Lynam’s report, perhaps that isn’t a foregone conclusion.

It is a non-guaranteed contract, which appears to be the main obstacle keeping the two from reaching an agreement.

You would think at some point Iverson would come to his senses and realize the only way he ever plays again is on a non-guaranteed deal … but have we reached that point? Can Iverson ever be humbled that much? I guess the coming days will answer that question.

Even if Iverson does accept the contract offer and publicly proclaims his humility, don’t expect his act to change, writes Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Wojnarowski writes that the 76ers, of all teams, should know that Allen Iverson’s actions do not match up with his words. Maybe that’s why the 76ers offered Iverson a non-guaranteed deal rather that giving him anything more. With no other avenues left to convince Iverson to be humble, perhaps the non-guaranteed deal is Philadelphia’s only recourse.
