Turkish club hopes to sign former NBA star Iverson

ANKARA, Turkey (AP)—The coach of Turkish basketball team Besiktas Cola Turka hopes to finalize negotiations with former NBA scoring champion Allen Iverson soon.

Burak Biyiktay says Tuesday the Istanbul club has offered a contract to Iverson’s manager for a one-year stint in Turkey.

Biyiktay says the former NBA MVP would bring a “new vision to the team.” He says “Iverson is a great trademark and would be the biggest name to come to Turkey.”

Gary Moore, Iverson’s personal manager, has said there is strong interest from both sides to work out a deal that would send the 11-time All-Star overseas.

Iverson is 17th on the NBA’s career scoring list with 24,368 points over a 14-year career.

Allen Iverson has agreed in principle on a two-year, $4 million contract with the Turkish pro team Besiktas, Yahoo! Sports reported, citing sources.

Iverson is expected to sign the deal this week and report to the Turkish first division club next week, according to the report.

The deal would allow Iverson, an 11-time NBA All-Star, to opt out after the first season, but does not include an NBA escape clause, according to the report.

Iverson played in only three games with the Memphis Grizzlies last season before leaving the team to attend to personal problems. He returned later in the season with the Sixers, who drafted him No. 1 overall out of Georgetown in 1996, but took a leave of absence from the team in March and did not return.

There's some rumors circulating that he will live like a sultan over there lol. Supposedly gets a sick apartment for free and a lot of financial incentives not in the salary.

Also, making $2,000,000 a year in Europe is equivalent to almost $4,000,000 in the USA because the team pays your taxes and its not deducted from the salary. So financially he's getting a $8,000,000 contract for both years in the NBA... doubt someone would've signed him for 4 million for 2 years.
