He's right. Why is A.I. still not part of your organization even in some capacity? Shame on you @sixers https://t.co/YwsD9FApR8

There’s no doubt Iverson should be part of the organization in some capacity. But only if it’s a good fit for both parties. I’m pretty sure he’s not looking to be a token or mascot.
