MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The owner of the Memphis Grizzlies and the team’s staff met with Allen Iverson on Monday, moving closer to a deal bringing the veteran guard to a young team.
“I want to help them develop a winner,” Iverson said Sunday night.
The meeting was in Atlanta, where the 34-year-old star has been working out recently with former teammate Eric Snow. The Grizzlies confirmed the meeting but declined to comment further.
No other NBA team has shown public interest in Iverson.
The Commercial Appeal newspaper reported that the Grizzlies have offered the 13-year veteran a one-year contract worth at least $3.5 million.
