Fast Break: Is that Allen Iverson will not be a Piston Next Year Just Another Incorrect AI Assumption?

Did you know that there is at least a 100 to 1 ratio in cyberspace, and presumably in the real world at large, between imagined, desired, and predicted NBA player transactions and actual transactions that occur? One very expected transaction at the moment is that Allen Iverson, whose contract is over with this season, will not be resigned by the Detroit Pistons this summer.

But Iverson has already done one of the two things needed to remain a Piston and to avoid in his final years aimlessly moving from team to team as that "player who plays two positions at once and often confuses the heck out of teammates, especially the other guard," that no one really wants very much anymore. First, he has already much reduced shooting and increased helping in other ways.

Just about the only other thing that would have to happen for him to remain a Piston would be to reduce his salary demands, so that the price is right for the Pistons, something which might be done for him, because there are a good number of Iverson haters among team managements as well as internet posters, and they are not about to offer him anywhere near 20 million dollars a year. Maybe not even half that! The new contract pickings for Iverson may be slim, because the economy is going to hell in a handbasket, and because although hating Iverson is still a disease rather than a rational position, it is no longer much of a secret that something went wrong somewhere along the way with respect to coaching Allen Iverson.

Someone did him wrong. Quest knows who, and you will know too if you keep visiting this year. You can get a head start by visiting here.
