Walsh did say that he would not offer Iverson the mid-level exception. Most likely he would offer a one-year deal for the $1.31 million veteran's minimum. Walsh said he's not prepared to say yes or no to a deal, and that he had to speak with Iverson first. That meeting could go a long way in deciding Iverson's future in New York. USA Today
A report in Thursday’s editions of the New York Daily News cited a person close to Iverson saying the Heat is making a strong run at Iverson. But the Heat dismissed the report as simply a rumor, and a team spokesman said Thursday that there was nothing to the speculation. Iverson is expected to clear waivers at 6 p.m. Thursday and would be an unrestricted free agent. The Knicks appear poised to bring in Iverson as much for his box-office appeal as for anything he can do on the court to turn around the 2-9 team. Iverson’s inner circle appears to be using past interest from the Heat as leverage to land a more lucrative deal than the $1.4 million minimum contract. Miami Herald
There is an open spot on the active list, but the Rockets seem in no hurry to change their plans. McGrady is expected to practice Monday, then have the MRI the team scheduled in September. Asked if there were a chance McGrady could be allowed to sit on the bench in uniform tonight when the Rockets face the Hawks or Saturday at Toyota Center, Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said in an e-mail, “We will get new info on Mac Monday.” Morey had no comment on McGrady choosing to dress for the game Wednesday.
