Of course the Knicks will look into bringing him in on a one-year deal. It's the politically correct thing to do. Iverson's agent is Leon Rose, who also represents LeBron James. The Knicks don't want to cross Rose and ruin their shot to get LeBron, however long that might be.

"A New York Daily News report said the New York Knicks would explore possibly signing Iverson. Team president Donnie Walsh wasn't committal, telling the Daily News, "We'll look into it. Right now, I'd say probably not, but we'll see.""...
I really don't see the harm in bringing in Iverson, who's growth will he really be stunting? The Knicks only have 4 guards, and only 1 is guaranteed to be back next year (Douglas)...Duhon hopefully won't be here next year (although I bet D'Antoni brings him back, he loves him and I actually think this is why the Knicks are so reluctant to bring in another Guard), Nate's already reached his potential as a pretty good offensive 6th man off the bench, and Hughes has 0 chance of being back. And in terms of ruining chemistry, I don't see how Iverson can be called more of a chucker than Hughes, Harrington, Wilson, or Gallo. I know it's not 2001 and he's not going to have an MVP or even all-star calliber year, but he'd instantly be the best player on this team, the only thing we stand to lose is Tony Douglas and Nate losing some playing time. And take nothing away from Douglas, I think he can potentially be an NBA starter, but I don't even see his ceiling to be higher than a mid-30s, 'past his prime' Allen Iverson
I don't know why people call Iverson a cancer and love to see him fail. He carried a Philadelphia team who's only other players of note were Mutombo, Theo Ratliff, and Aaron Mckie to the playoffs every year, and even to the Finals once. Then he comes into Denver and starts trying to be less selfish (his shots went down alot in Denver) and people start saying he's over the hill bc he's not scoring 30 pts/game anymore...I think fans should be mad if the Knicks don't bring in Iverson, they deserve to have at least 1 player who brings it every night and has some heart and desire to win basketball games. It's borderline disrespectful the team that they put out there every night for the amount of money they charge at the Garden

word. I forgot to even bring that up in my argument. NOBODY takes it strong to the hoop on this team. Nate does but hes been hurt and lets behonest i love him, but i love him cause i love AI and hes got a similar game but is far less talented. The amount of 3s this team chucks is just ridiculous.Everyone just jacks up treys and guys that should be driving especially Chandler just lurk out by the 3 line and become spot up shooters. No way Chandlershould be a spot up shooter, with his size/athleticism he is a grade a fit to be an effective slasher 3 in the NBA. All shooting should be is the added bonusif he has a good shot, which he does, but driving should ALWAYS be his first priority, which it is not. A Guy like Gallo on the other hand, should be a shooterfirst and foremost in a winning system cause his shot is so nice, but saying that he still should drive far more than he does with his above averageathletisism for his size plus his passing vision, hes a tough guard.
lol so if its alright for 8 players on the team to play on a one year contract and we're terrible, what's wrong with getting Al for oneyear and be a bit better, maybe even better if Curry surprises us?Originally Posted by C5A5D5A5
WHAT!SIGN HIM RIGHT NOW!

Now we have a scoring threat, low post presence and a lethal 3pt shooter. Hey we can have a Big 3 (Al, Eddy, Gallo) lol
