…What is the question?

Tell you this much, as a fair-weather fan, I’ll watch more games if Iverson is around.

My sentiments exactly.

Just picture it .... Iverson sign with Knicks .... suits up for Saturday's game with 0-12 Nets, and Joisey bags first win of year.

The back pages would have a field day.

If you're gonna be a trainwreck and still charge people to come to the games, you owe it to everyone to at least be an entertaining trainwreck

That was the plan behind CitiField, right? :-)

He won't be the answer, as per NYTimes ...

[5] Says it all.
They've effectively tanked the decade- might as well do something to make sure the seats that have been paid for occasionally have some asses in them.

They deserve each other.

I'm a Pistons fan and he hurt the team last year. I've been an AI fan his entire career starting with college but I think all he's got left are a few moments, no consistent play. And that's an issue with a guy who absolutely will not accept a reduced complimentary role. On a losing, awful Knicks team on a one-year basis, a few moments might be worthwhile. A 40 point night from Iverson where he leads a garbage Knicks team past the Celtics or Lakers at the Garden would be fun.

Building a team designed to win with Iverson at this stage in his career would not be fun. It would be insane.

If Walsh has been drafting better I wouldn't have needed the distraction.
