The Knicks have been used like this in the past by high profile stars trying to bargain for better deals with other clubs but once again I feel this is a win win situation for both parties.
Allen Iverson is looking for a stage to show he is still "The Answer". If he decides to sign with the Knicks for the veteran minimum this year and plays well the Knicks can resign him for the 2010 team without hurting the cap. The Knicks starting backcourt is currently Chris Duhon and Toney Douglass. How can AI not help there? The Knicks have been lacking a leader in the locker room and someone who plays every game like it's his last. In this case Iverson really is!
With Iverson in Madison Square Garden he can bring the fight back to this ball club. His passion for winning will force the team to raise the intensity level on both sides of the ball. The Garden loves rebels and AI is the leagues biggest one! I'm hoping Donnie Walsh and Mike D'Antoni can get it done. AI would fit perfect in the 7 second offense that Mike D'Antoni runs, hell I think AI could bring it down to 6!
