Executives Expect Iverson To Remain On Market

NBA front office executives expect free agent guard Allen Iverson to remain on the market for quite some time.

Charlotte and Miami have been mentioned as possible destinations for Iverson, but executives told CBS Sports that he'll likely be a contingency option for a team that suffers a backcourt injury.

Iverson's agent, Leon Rose, attended Saturday's game between the Knicks and Nets, but there were no meetings with either side.

Jermaine Sits With Bruised Left Hip

Heat center Jermaine O'Neal missed the team's win over the Nets on Saturday night with a bruised left hip.

He sustained the injury on Thursday night in a collision with LeBron James midway through Cleveland's win over Miami.

O'Neal has gone through extensive treatment since suffering the injury.

"He feels much better than he did [Friday]," coach Erik Spoelstra said on Saturday. "He felt [then] like he got hit by a train. It's not quite the type of relief and movement we were hoping for."

Miami Trying To Find Way To Bring In LeBron And Bosh

A Heat source told ESPN's Chad Ford they were trying to find a way to lure both LeBron James and Chris Bosh to Miami to play with Dwyane Wade this summer.

The trio has reportedly talked about the possibility, according to a source.

The salary cap was once projected to hit $64 million, but the downturn of the economy means that it will likely be somewhere between $50 million and $57 million.
