Iverson to Meet With Grizzlies Owner

by Tom Ziller

Filed under: Grizzlies, NBA Rumors

With rosters gathering for pre-preseason workouts and all the major free agents rumored to be finding closure, it makes sense that Allen Iverson would inch closer to a final destination of his own. On Sunday, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal reported that Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley and Iverson would attempt to meet in person to close a deal bringing The Answer to Memphis.

Late Sunday, Iverson confirmed via Twitter that he is scheduled to meet with Heisley on Monday. The Grizzlies can offer a contract of $4.5 million for this season; there haven't been any rumors that A.I. was seeking a long-term deal with Memphis. The idea, it is understood, is that Iverson would show in the 2009-10 season that he is worthy of a multi-year deal beginning in 2010-11. Given the A.I. has had this much trouble securing a one-year deal at a small salary, he has a tall mountain to climb.
