Iverson began his career with the 76ers and was a star in his early NBA days. The 76ers are hoping for more of the same from Iverson, now 34 years old. The contract is for a pro-rated veteran's minimum of $1.3 million.
When Iverson was released from Memphis earlier this year, it was hard to think of Iverson joining another team this season. The Knicks didn't want him, so his options were obviously limited. The former All-Star even contemplated retirement. With the 76ers looking for a guard and Iverson available, the match seems perfect. Even though he isn't expected to have the same impact as he once did with the team when he guided them to the NBA Finals, he is expected to play a critical role in the team. Of all the teams for Iverson to sign with the 76ers were the perfect match on paper, only time will tell if it is the perfect match on the court.
