Iverson Will Not Be A Knick

[SkippyPB]

They don't want his sorry ass.

Donnie Walsh said "It did get interesting for a while because Allen's
a great player and has always been a great player," Walsh said Friday.
"You're 1-9 and you're thinking, 'We've got to get some help in here.'
But when we rethought it and I talked to Mike and he talked to me, we
feel that could hurt our development of the future, and so we want to
go the way we're going.

"There will be other things we can do during the year that will be
more in line with what our philosophy has been entering into this. And
I want to really make it clear that this has nothing to do with
Iverson. He's a great player, I've always admired him. I think he'd be
a great addition for a team that is in a different position than we're
in, and I hope he gets picked up."

Donnie's being politically correct in that last paragraph. Doesn't
want to say what he really means because then he'd burn his bridges to
other players.

Maybe he is worried it might cost them some ping pong balls...

To be fair, the Knicks have as many injuries as the Pistons hence
their horrible play. Iverson would help them to score but take away
time from the young guys just like in Memphis. Hence Walsh's comment.
