It looks like the Allen Iverson to the Knicks is a reality. Sources say the team will sign him once he clears waivers.

According to team president Donnie Walsh, the Knicks will be making an offer to Allen Iverson as soon as he clears waivers. I assume it will be a one-year offer, since the medium-term goal for the Knicks seems to be to keep as much cap space as they possibly can for next summer's free agency period.

I'm not sure how much Iverson can help the Knicks... they'll still be a terrible team. But at least they might be a little more fun to watch.

1	Get your popcorn ready because this is going to be a sh** show! The only thing that could make this better were if Isiah Thomas was still there.

0	Only reason Iverson would go to a non playoff team is to keep his career scoring average high. I wrote something about that like a week and half ago. Great talent, wrong attitude. You can read it here if you like http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Iverson-Saga

1	AI and King James next year? With D'Antoni at the helm, the Knicks could be a strong team in the future. They would need to aquire a few more players, but hey New York certainly has the payroll to make it happen.

0	If the team need help that is the best person to get because if the job need to get down Allen will do it. Allen is looking for a good team that will do anything to get to the playoff. Allen wants a ring bad and someway and somehow he is going to do whatever it take to get one no matter what team he play for.

A.I. is arguably the most talented and toughest little man the NBA has ever seen. With that said though, he wants a ring, but he wants on his terms. He has to be "the man" for it to work for him. Unfortunately, he won't win a ring that way. It's just too tough to play with a guy like Iverson. One thing I've been wondering about though, how good must his agent be? He must be the Ari Gold of the NBA.

Shyne_IV, AI is one of the toughest little men the NBA has seen. I am the toughest. Just kiddin. Seriously though, in the 70s and early 80s, there was a player that use to play with the Houston Rockets. I think he may be a top 50. If not, he should be. His name is Calvin Murphy. If your daddy is a basketball person, ask him about Calvin. I saw Calvin back Jabbar down and many more twice his size. I mean that literally. He was all of 5'9" to 5'11". AI is tough, but nothing like Calvin Murphy. Check him out.

I like the comment Shaq made about what if he and Koby never broke up. He doesn't believe in what ifs. They didn't happen, therefore we will never know. However, on that note, for the fun of it and to prove a point. What if the Bulls never got Cartwright, Pippen and Grant. I think what every says about AI, they would now be saying about Mike. Before the championships, they all said it anyway, that he's a ball hog, gunner, shots too much, etc. I think AI really wants a championship over points or anything else. I think he always have. He's been doing what he thinks he has to in order to get what his heart desires. AI, like every great player, wants to be the King of the Hill. You have to to be. No one said this shit about Bird. Bird stated, in the fourth quarter he is suppose to have the ball. All great players want the ball. I said this somewhere before in my writings, great players are great players because they got the ball.
