Allen Iverson Agrees to Receive $20.84 Million Dollars

PrintWell, it is official. AI is not opting out of his contract and will be one of nine NBA players who will earn north of $20 million next season.
The good news is as long as he does not sign an extension, he will have a massive expiring contract that could be of great use for the Nuggets.
The bad news is the Nuggets can sign him to an extension at any time up until his contract expires on June 30, 2009. Both the Nuggets and AI have proclaimed that they want to come to terms on an extension and I am pretty sure they will.
My question is why would AI want to stay with the Nuggets if his ultimate goal is to win a championship? Does he really think this team is a legitimate contender next season? Or the season after that?
Why does he want to stay in
Maybe he knows as well as most GMs do that his style does not necessarily mesh with any of the teams that are on the verge of contending.
At this point I think the odds of AI playing the next three or four seasons in Denver are pretty high so I guess no matter what the outcome of those seasons will be at least we will be entertained.

Oh Lordy
Ok, I read about it this morning but thought it was just a “yahoo says” type of thing. Now I know its not. Thank you Jeremy, thank you so much for confirming it.

I wouldn’t be so confident about AI being a Nugget next season still. Remember, he’s a big expiring contract.
The artist formerly known as Nuggets4.
Not if he signs an extension this summer
I do not think Warkentien/Kronke has the courage to do anything other than sign him to an extension, but they certainly have the chance to prove me wrong.
So
Why so negative about AI wanting to end his career in Denver? Is it because you think he makes too much? Do you think that maybe he is still working on an extension for another 3-4 years. Plus nobody knows what the future holds. he could very well get a title in Denver. I dont think anyone saw Boston getting to the finals before draft day lasy year. Not saying Denver is gonna get a trade like Boston but you never know

My issues with AI
This post explains why, even though I am a fan of AI, I do not want to see him play for the Nuggets anymore.
thats cool
I will need to catch up I am new here. I would not be unhappy to see AI go, if it means keeping Anthony. I just think this team is a mess chemsitry-wise

Welcome to the site broncofanstuckinsd. You can stick around as long as you take down that picture of my mom you are using as your profile image.
Is sd South Dakota or San Diego? Having been born in South Dakota I hope for your sake it is San Diego.
Yes its San Diego
Been since 1991 when in the USN. Big time Colorado sports fan. I just the Nuggets to finally be good enough to compete for a title. The Franchise has not competed for one since the 1975-76 season and that was the ABA. Plus no conf finals since 1985 it makes me sad that Denver is the only fomer ABA team not to play in the NBA Finals
