I'm a really big Iverson fan, but I just don't think the commintment is there anymore. I don't see him taking a backseat on the bench as a veteran leader, so why not just get somebody cheaper that can do the same basic thing. It sucks, but it doesn't always end on your own terms.
That being said I can see him doing quite well in a foreign league for a couple of years if he really wanted to play some more.

Please. If he's not going to accept anything less than a starting role and unconditional control of the basketball on an NBA team, he's certainly not going to slum it in an overseas league.
