Latest chatter: Sessions over A.I.?

LAS VEGAS -- Here is the latest assemblage of chatter culled from
conversations with a variety of knowledgeable sources -- front-office
executives, coaches, players and agents -- camped at the NBA's annual summer
league here in Vegas.
The distinct vibe in the stands at UNLV's Cox Pavilion is that the Clippers
-- apart from owner Donald Sterling -- would greatly prefer to add more of a
set-up man to a backcourt rotation that already features Baron Davis and
emerging star Eric Gordon as opposed to signing Allen Iverson to a one-year
deal up to the full $5.9 million midlevel exception.
The top choice in that scenario? Extending an offer sheet to restricted free
agent Ramon Sessions.
Yet as we covered here Wednesday, Sterling wants a ticket-seller if he's
going to spend. Winning the draft lottery and the right to select Blake
Griffin with the No. 1 overall pick apparently resulted in the sale of only a
few hundred extra season-ticket packages.
With Miami clearly focused on other targets, most notably Carlos Boozer via
trade and exhausting every last hope of bringing Lamar Odom back, Iverson
appears to have no option that can trump Clipperland in terms of money and
market.
Yet questions persist about Iverson's willingness to accept a reserve role
from L.A. or Memphis -- even if those teams are still willing to pay him in
the $5 million range next season -- after Iverson famously said he'd retire
if his next team asked him to come off the bench.
In more definitive transaction news involving the Clippers, L.A. has offered
a coaching position to famed skills guru Tim Grgurich in hopes of convincing
Grgurich to walk away from longtime boss George Karl. The Nuggets are working
to convince Grgurich to stay.
