No. If you're goal is to win a championship, you need a 5 year plan. Not a one year plan.
You only *consider* if you're VERY close to winning it. Even then I wouldn't.
I swear, this topic comes up a lot more often than it should.
Iverson isn't one of these guys who's a true team player. He wouldn't come in here looking to be a mentor. He's always gonna want to start and gonna want to dominate the rock. Pass.
What Liston said. Iverson wanting another shot at the NBA and Iverson wanting to mentor someone are two different things. So with the mentoring bit out of the picture, the question is can Iverson help our 3- to 5-year plan. Considering he was unable to help a good team in Detroit, and was also unable to help a bad team in Philadelphia, do we really need to see what he might or might not bring to our team?
Iverson apparently wants another shot at the NBA. Should the Raps take a chance on him to mentor Bayless?
Just a thought. What do you guys think?
Iverson as a mentor? Now I've heard it all. I haven't read the SLAM interview yet, but judging from his attitude in Denver, Detroit, Memphis and the latter part of his Philly career, he still thinks he's an All-NBAer. Even though he might say he's willing to take on a smaller role or whatever, a leopard can't change its spots. At this point in their careers, this would be like bringing Steve Francis on board.
