Grizzlies, Iverson meet, come closer to reaching agreement

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The owner of the Memphis Grizzlies and the team's staff are meeting with Allen Iverson as the sides move closer to a deal bringing the veteran guard to a very young team.

"I want to help them develop a winner," Iverson said on Twitter on Sunday night.

The meeting was in Atlanta, where the 34-year-old star has been working out recently with former teammate Eric Snow. The Grizzlies confirmed the meeting but declined to comment further.

The Grizzlies last season finished 24-58, last in their division. No other NBA team has shown public interest in Iverson.

The Commercial Appeal newspaper reported that the Grizzlies have offered the 13-year veteran a one-year contract worth at least $3.5 million. The deal could increase to $4.4 million if Memphis renounces its rights to guard Juan Carlos Navaro of Spain.
