Knicks say no to Iverson.
After speculation ever since his release that Allen Iverson could possibly join the 2-9 New York Knicks, the team has reportedly told the 34-year old star that they won’t be bringing him on board.
Despite the “go-ahead” from GM Donnie Walsh, differences with coaching and tea ownership lead to the decision of not signing Iverson, and the future hall of famer will be forced to look elsewhere for his new NBA home.
The Knicks cited team chemistry as a main concern, though many experts suspect the organization of purposely not trying to improve their team so they can get a high draft pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, in addition to aiming for the 2010 free agency class, namely Cleveland’s LeBron James.
Fantasy Perspective: We still think Iverson can help an NBA team out there somewhere (as well as your fantasy team), but it’s looking more and more like he will have to suck it up and accept a diminished role, and that’s if another team is even willing to take the risk.
Hey, if the Knicks think you’re too big of a distraction for their 2-9 squad, things are looking pretty bleak. Stay tuned for more information regarding the star shooting guard.
