Iverson closer to deal in Turkey?

By Mark J. Miller

No NBA team apparently wants Allen Iverson(notes) on its roster so his deal with Turkey’s Besiktas appears to be “a matter of time,” according to Gazet Evatan.

The salary is thought to be $1.5 million with a $500,000 bonus for the team winning the league championship or making it to the EuroCup Final Four, according to the site.

Evatan notes that “more and more details arrive about the negotiations and everything seems to show that a deal could be reached very soon.”

Iverson averaged 13.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game last season in the 25 games he played for the Philadelphia 76ers and the three he played for the Memphis Grizzlies.
