Allen Iverson Twitter: Memphis Grizzlies my next team

Basketball Player & NBA Twitters

After a summer of questions, the Answer may finally have found a home with the Memphis Grizzlies.

At least according to Allen’s Iverson’s Twitter.

According to Iverson’s Twitter (I’ll never get used to saying that), it sounds like AI officially becoming a Memphis Grizzlies is eminent.

In two separate Tweets this morning, Iverson referred to the Grizzlies as his future NBA team:

Tweet #1: “God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career. I met with Mr. Heinsley, Chris Wallace and my next head coach Lionel Hollins”

Tweet #2: “I feel that they are committed to developing a winner and I know that I can help them to accomplish that. I feel that I can trust them.”

Since Twitter only allows 140 characters, the details of the contract weren’t disclosed, but David Aldridge is reporting it will be a one-year, $3.5 million deal.

If true, the 13-year veteran will serve as a mentor to young Grizzlies like Mike Conley Jr., Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, and a player that has walked a similar path as a young sought-after prospect, O.J. Mayo.

Iverson has been linked to several NBA teams this summer, including the Miami Heat, and the New York Knicks, as well as Euroleague club Olympiakos, who ended up signing NBA players Von Wafer and Linas Kleiza.
