Does any team want Allen Iverson?

Does anyone want Allen Iverson on their team? With a little more than month until the start of the NBA season Iverson is still unsigned. Iverson has had a rough few seasons since being traded from the Nuggets to the Pistons. After signing with the Grizzlies last year he only played 3 games before asking for a trade or to be released and was then signed by the 76ers in which he only appeared in 25 games. Iverson has refused to take a role as player coming off the bench and has insisted that he is a better player as a starter than coming off the bench. Iverson has always been known as a bit of a trouble maker and an outspoken player and these incidents have only further proved that view. Teams just don’t want to risk the money on a guy who may or may not have anything left and someone with a track record. He is essentially following the Stephon Marbury route at the end of his career and may be following it real close as nbcsports.com is reporting that Iverson may be heading to China to play this year. It’s a shame to see one of the best players to play the game career fall apart like this but the reasons for his downfall has me not giving him much sympathy anymore. The only teams that I think would be interested in having Iverson would be a team that has a veteran coach and is willing to deal with Iverson such as the Spurs or the Knicks or he may just sign with the Heat. However, until he gets off his high horse and be willing to play for the veteran minimum and willing to come off the bench playing overseas might be his only option.
