“We have had internal discussions about (Iverson),” Ainge said
yesterday, “but a decision like this has to be unanimous, and it
wasn’t.”
Among the questions surrounding Iverson are cost (not a problem
after he was willing to go to the Grizzlies for $3.1 million), how much
he could help a club and whether, in the case of a good team like the
Celts, he’d be willing to come off the bench.
“Those are all things to be considered, but we never got to the
point where we discussed them with Allen or his agent,” Ainge said.
…. “He’s someone I would definitely consider if I felt we had a need,”
Ainge said. “But I like the team we have now, and we don’t have that
need.”
Herald: No big plans for Allen Iverson, yet
I wonder if Danny Ainge gave Wyc Grousbeck a little elbow and said “watch this” before making those comments.
I know what Danny said in the paper this morning is going to inspire a lot of people to write the “why we don’t need Allen Iverson” type stuff… but can we all just accept that it’s not going to happen and move on? The entire notion is silly.
Sometimes I think Danny and Doc say thing like this just to get riled up so they can have a laugh at our expense throughout the day.
