Would I buy a ticket to see Iverson play? Maybe. Would I buy a ticket to see Iverson play mid season, when the dysfunction of who'd getting minutes on a losing team over promising youth that we can feel good about for the future (Conley) is spilling over into just an overall bad vibe that's made worse by the presence of Zach Randolph? No. No, I can't. The Grizz running poor drafts is not an excuse for not making use of the talent they've got and at least making a product that's fun to enjoy. The Thunder were godawful their first season, but OKC was going to love watching them anyway. Young, good franchise. Conley/Mayo/Gay aren't on Durant's level, but I can think of 10 things I'd do to the Grizz before signing AI or trading for Randolph (and the first 9 of them are fire Chris Wallace.) And you know what really sucks? Fatalistic fans. I don't blame yoy for being disenfranchised, but if you're forgiving this shit you're the most beaten down among us. @vanjulio I lived in Jonesboro, AR for 3 years, watched the Grizz every night.

We did the best we could. and the AI you love to attack with the rest of the lemming media is still a ton better than Casey Jacobsen, Juan Carlos Navarro, Chucky Atkins, Quinton Ross, Bobby Jackson, Etc etc etc since when have our jerseys been grey?

How many teams can add a future Hall of Famer playing the last truly relevant years of his career AND a 20-10 power forward and somehow FURTHER disenfranchise fans by doing so? How can a team be run like this!? As much as I love AI, this is… I mean…
