A training camp invite could certainly not hurt to simply observe his attitude and his game. Best case, he becomes a solid scoring threat off the bench, worst case, he doesn't make the team.

Bring Iverson home, Riley!
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

This. Plus, I would trade a Bus-load of Bibbys for 1 Iverson.

I would start Chalmers with Iverson back up, to make sure Iverson's ego is clear.

This team needs no more hero, but AI can spark the bench and give some leadership, like Jason Kidd did to the Mavs.

Were Jason Kidd and Allen Iverson just mentioned in the same sentence in the context that they could bring similar things to a basketball club?

AI can at least give some type of grit to the team

one thing about AI, he may be some narcissistic douchebag, but you can't say the man didn't have balls and didn't gave his all when he went on the court, it didn't matter if he liked the coach, teammates, when he got on the court he played balls out.

I guess Lebron and Wade really need someone to teach them how to practice and work out in the offseason and show them how to become good mid-range shooters.

Watching AI 2 yrs ago in Detroit, you dont want him. McGrady is the PG you want.
Why no talk of McGrady? I watched him play PG all year for the Pistons, and he would be a perfect PG for your team, imo.

He has an advantage over every PG because of his height, and he is an awesome distributor and set-up man. His IQ is off the charts. He just see's the whole floor and plays developing before they even happen. He can still score a lil bit too, and his team defense is very underrated.

Vince Carter is getting bought out, I would look to add him as well. I know you dont need another SG, but adding talent wherever you can is a plus.

I'd sign McGrady to be your PG, and VC to backup Wade/LeBron off the bench. Then try to trade Mike Miller for cap space or to fill a need up front.

AI give leadership? :lol:

TMac is the guy you want. Trust me. He can be like Kidd, not Iverson.

I watched Iverson play the last time he was with Philly and nothing was going right for him.

i´m not so sure about the changing part. What would concern me would be that he would live in Miami where there is alot of partying going on, and being on the same team as Lebron and Wade where there is alot of media attention and maybe also alot of partying and an expensive lifestyle.

He has been in Turkey now for some time so the thinking process might have changed for him, but in the U.S he might become just like he was before he left NBA.

Some people change even without knowing it.

Hope i made myself understood since english is not my first language.

I really want this to happen. I like Bibby, but if it means Iverson being on the team, I'd send him on his way.

TMac over AI imo every day. i think his overall package is better. TMac is big though so could add a little more rebounding but aside from that i think TMac is a more willing passer and has a better jump shot. but im also an old school TMac fan and would love to own a TMac Heat jersey lol.

TMac is somebody we don't need. Mike Miller has been just as effective as TMac has been these past few years. We need to worry more about a PG than a SG at this point.

I got to watch a few Pistons games this year and TMAC was a great team player. He was even the starting PG quite a few games 2nd half of the season. He played 3 different positions and would make a nice member of this team. Imagine if the Heat had TMAC and AI. Wow.
