Sixers offer deal to Iverson

The Associated Press is reporting that the Philadelphia 76ers have offered Allen Iverson a one-year, non-guaranteed contract.

According to Phil Jasner, the Sixers are offering a pro-rated $1.3 million, the veterans' minimum for players with at least 10 seasons of experience and awaiting a response from Leon Rose, Iverson's agent.

The contract would be guaranteed for the remainder of the season if Iverson is on the roster Jan. 10. and the Sixers' responsibility in a guaranteed deal would be for roughly $600,000-$650,000.

Hard to believe Iverson's ego would let him accept such an offer and that might be the best case scenario for Ed Stefanski. This whole charade is clearly a mandate from the top and Stefanski could make the case to Ed Snider and Peter Lukko that he tried to ink Iverson without actually adding the divisive one to a locker room already fractured by Eddie Jordan's incompetent mentoring.
