Allen Iverson has stated that he believes he is still a capable starter and if a team wanted him to come off of the bench, he’d rather retire. There have been reports that Bobcats head coach Larry Brown wouldn’t mind coaching Allen Iverson again and would welcome him to Charlotte. However, with two young and up and coming guards already situated in the back-court in Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin, would they risk the development of those two to have Iverson in town for a season? You’d think that at this point of his career Iverson would have matured a bit and would be willing to take a backseat if it meant him having a shot at winning a championship, at least that is how it usually works.

Iverson hasn’t given any indication of where he’d rather play in this up coming season and I don’t think he cares as long as they are letting him start and put up 25+ shot attempts per game, he’s all for it. Signing Iverson would make little since for the Bobcats at this point. Sure, he gives them someone who can put fans in seats and he can have those high scoring nights, but he simply doesn’t fit with the youth movement going on in Charlotte and bringing him in wouldn’t solve many of their problems, if any of them.
