Knicks should grab Iverson

Don't know if anybody cares right now but the knicks are on New Yorks mind since Allen Iverson was put on waivers by the Memphis Grizzlies.

Iverson, who had so called personal problems -more like coming off the bench problems- is gone from the Grizzlies, less than a month into the season. And if he comes to the Knicks, he won't have to worry about coming off the bench.

Positives of bringing Iverson in:

He's going to give you 20-25 ppg and with no true point guard on the team anyway, the Knicks can play him at that position because he can still get into the paint off the dribble. That will also effect Danilo Gallinari because he'll be able to stand outside the three point line and knock down three's while Iverson draws defenders. He might be more of a help to Galo then many people think.

Although Knicks fans still come to support their dreadful team, Iverson will bring some excitement to the Garden that has been lacking since they were in the Finals in '99.

Iverson will also bring a veteran presence to a team that really needs some kind of leadership. Teams will actually have to game plan against him and add a tad of respectability to the franchise.

Of course their are some negatives:

Iverson loves to dominate the ball and still thinks of himself as a star in the league. He will pound away at the rock and D'Antoni's system is not built that away. The system thrives when the ball is moving and everybody is touching the rock.

His attitude will also have to change. Iverson has to realize that the team comes first, and he needs to understand that the Knicks are looking towards 2010. He can't hurt the team this season because if the Knicks get two great players next season, most of these players will not matter. The only one is Gallo, and although I though Wilson Chandler had potential, it doesn't look like he's going to last. David Lee and Nate Robinson won't be re-signed next year, and Al Harrington was never taught the art of the pass.

So it shouldn't be hard decision for Donnie Walsh. Just bring Iverson in and let's get some electricity in the Garden.
