Greek Club Olympiakos after Allen Iverson
Olympiakos, the Greek club that continues to go after NBA free agents, is now going after Allen Iverson; offering the 6-0 guard a $10 million contract over two years (discuss).
The $10 million dollar offer is close to the numbers that Iverson is seeking in free agency, but is Iverson willing to head overseas, play in a completely different basketball culture with great expectations?
The Athens-based Olympiakos Piraeus is the team that made waves by signing away Josh Childress from the Atlanta Hawks last season.
This offseason, the European club offered Nate Robinson a contract similar to the one they are offering Iverson. Olympiakos has also reportedly been interested in Denver forward Linas Kleiza, Knick’s forward David Lee, and Buck’s guard Ramon Sessions.
In addition to Olympiakos, the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, and Memphis Grizzlies are also courting the 34-year old former NBA MVP. Iverson is a 10-time NBA All-Star with a career scoring average 27.1 points.
