Knicks Team Report
(Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:36:29 PST)
The Knicks were looking for answers, so they were strongly considering turning to The Answer.
Team president Donnie Walsh confirmed this week that the team was mulling a decision to sign Allen Iverson, who was placed on waivers by the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. Walsh said the option was under consideration mainly because of the Knicks' franchise-worst 1-9 start.
Friday, however, the team announced that it would not sign Iverson after all. The reason: He would have taken away playing time from younger players who need to develop.
Signing Iverson was one of the few options the Knicks have had to improve the roster this season that doesn't impact the all-important bottom line in 2010.
