Iverson plans to sign deal to play in Turkey



Allen Iverson has agreed in principle to sign an incentive-laden, two-year, $4 million contract with Besiktas of the Turkish professional league, sources told Yahoo! Sports on Sunday night.

Iverson plans to sign the contract this week, the sources said, and is expected to report to Besiktas the week of Oct. 31.

Iverson’s contract will give him an opt-out clause after this season. There’s no escape clause during the season for Iverson to leave Turkey and return to the NBA.

Iverson, 35, could make his debut for Besiktas on Nov. 6 in a game against Bornova. Besiktas played its first game of the season on Oct. 19 and is 1-1 in league standings.

Iverson has solicited more lucrative offers to play in China this season, but has been intrigued with the prospects of playing in Istanbul. After controversial exits with his last three franchises – Detroit, Memphis and Philadelphia – Iverson exhausted interest from NBA teams. Despite averaging 26.7 points in his 14-year NBA career, Iverson ran out of opportunities in the league.

Besiktas is considered third among the three most powerful franchises in the Turkish first division. The club has a strong following, and team officials believe Iverson could be an immense gate draw.

Blazers traded guard to Hornets for future pick ----and it's not Rudy Fernandez

The Portland Trail Blazers have found a trade to create some extra roster room, agreeing Saturday to deal guard Jerryd Bayless to the New Orleans Hornets for a conditional future first-round pick.

The Portland Oregonian reported that the 2011 first-round pick that the Blazers will receive from New Orleans is protected 1-to-7 in the 2011 draft and 1-to-8 in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Blazers will thus take ownership of the pick in the June draft as long as it is No. 8 or lower.

Bayless -- who has struggled for playing time in Portland despite flashes of scoring talent in his first two NBA seasons -- is headed to Chris Paul's squad in the second trade swung for backcourt depth by new Hornets general manager Dell Demps.

New Orleans also acquired Willie Green from the Philadelphia 76ers in September to join Paul and second-year guard Marcus Thornton but are high on Bayless, sources told ESPN.com, because new Hornets coach Monty Williams worked closely with him in Portland.

With the labor agreement between the league and the players set to expire June 30, Stern said he was hoping to reduce player costs by at least $700 million and that the league would “continue to be open to contraction.’’

While Stern did not single out any franchises, a team source indicated that Charlotte, Memphis and New Orleans might be among the small-market cities in jeopardy of losing their teams.

Shaq cries foul on some GMs for bad business practices - The Boston Globe

Wow, I feel bad for New Orleans if they're going to lose an NBA team .. NO is a great city .. And so does Memphis ..

For Charlotte, first of all, I friggin hate Jordan for nixing the deal with Toronto at the very last minute. Second, the team owed millions of dollars to the city and the sponsor of the arena (Time Warner) .. Ok, how would they pay them off if the team is struggling not just on the court, but financial as well ?? Hmmm ...
