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.

Arenas: Wizards Have 'Hidden Agendas'

Frustrations are beginning to boil over in Washington.

The Wizards are struggling and coach Flip Saunders expects to make lineup changes before their next game.

"We have guys that are frustrated that they're not playing and I'm sure they are sitting there wanting opportunities," Saunders said. "And guys will get opportunities starting Monday because we're not getting it done as it is right now."

The Wizards will next play at home against the 76ers on Tuesday.

Gilbert Arenas says players on the team have "hidden agendas," pointing out that eight players on the team are free agents following the season.

"I guess when you start losing everyone wants to start pointing fingers everywhere else," Arenas said. "I converted my game to try to get people involved, but at the end of the day, to be honest, this is the same team since three years ago. We added a couple of pieces, but everybody else is basically the same player.

"I'm sitting here thinking 'Do I have to go in attack mode like I was two years ago to get us over this hump?' I hope not. I hope we're strong enough mentally that we can get over this."
