Knicks' Answer: No to Allen Iverson (AP)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:32:06 PST

The New York Knicks won't sign Allen Iverson, believing any short-term gain would hinder their plans to build for the future. Team president Donnie Walsh said Friday the team won't make any additions at this time despite its 2-9 record. He added the decision to pass on the former MVP had nothing to do with Iverson's ability to play or his character in the locker room.

The Knicks are looking for answers, so they are strongly considering turning to The Answer.

Team president Donnie Walsh confirmed that the team is mulling a decision to sign Allen Iverson, who was placed on waivers by the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. Walsh said the option is under consideration mainly because of the Knicks' franchise-worst 1-9 start.

"We wouldn't be considering it if we thought we were functioning well, and we're not," Walsh said. "And I want to make sure if we do something like this it's the right thing to do."

There are obvious concerns that come with bringing Iverson onto the roster—as evidenced by his short three-game stint in Memphis. But the Knicks are prepared to take on the baggage that comes with the player who, at 34, could still...

It's painfully clear to everyone but the management of the New York Knicks that there's only one question to which Allen Iverson remains "The Answer." That is: "What could be worse than spending 40 years in the NBA wilderness with Isiah Thomas, Larry Brown and Stephon Marbury?" So let's be clear: Iverson and the Knicks deserve better than what they're going to...
