08:15 AM ET 10.12 | By the end of the week, Allen Iverson may be signed to play in Turkey. [Iverson] is moving closer to an agreement with Turkish team Besiktas on a one-year contract that could pay him as much as $2 million with bonuses, sources told Yahoo! Sports. "We are in very serious negotiations with [Besiktas]," Iverson's business manager Gary Moore told Yahoo! Sports. "Istanbul is beautiful from everything we've learned. It's not that far from the U.S., and the competition is good which makes it all attractive. Allen wants to play basketball."

Its def not a bad deal don't get me wrong.. but with his resume he should be getting a job in the nba making the same. I know he put it on himself but the guy can still play the game at a high level.

Iverson gets to be a superstar again (albeit in Turkey) and gets paid the equivalent of what he would get paid to come off the bench for 20 minutes a game in the NBA. This seems like a good option for someone in Iverson's largely self-created situation.

Has Iverson looked @ a map to see that Turkey isn't driving distance from Philly? I know google maps has you driving across the Atlantic, but Allen look again it's on the other side of the freakin planet!!!!!

He won't last in turkey. He will be back playing in the NBA. W/ his big ego, playing for turkey would not be sufficient for him.

Anyway if he were to come back to the NBA he would produce 15 pts, 4 ast, and a steal a game coming of the bench and those are solid numbers
