Yes! In possible fulfillment of this writer’s dream for the 2009-10 Euroleague season, Lithuania-based Basketworld.lt is today reporting that Olympiacos will be extending a contract offer to Allen Iverson.
Reportedly, Olympiacos officials are ready to offer free agent Iverson a two-year, $10 million deal, “exactly the same proposal that was presented to Nate Robinson” earlier this year.
With nothing else on his table, you know A.I. will be thinking about this one … Ball in Europe sure hopes so.

Well, AI should be contemplating on this one. He still has no team he can call his own in the NBA to date. He should still be a star player in a Greek team.

$5 million net per season is just about like a $10 million per year deal in the NBA. Good chance he will be in Athens next year.
