Allen Iverson will reportedly accept the Sixers’ one year offer. He will make his debut Monday night against the Nuggets.
Good for Iverson. He will be able to step in and play major minutes in the absence of Lou Williams. He has the chance to regain relevance and revive his career on a potential playoff team. [...]

“…Where is the risk in a $1.3 million expenditure for a 10-time All-Star, especially for an owner who shelled out $3 million for the 29th pick of the draft last June? The worst that could have happened was this: The Knicks still didn’t win, D’Antoni reduced Iverson’s minutes and A.I. pulled his rebel [...]
Ok so the decision has been made. To me, I never had the impression that Walsh was going to bring Iverson here, it seemed that he got to a point where he may have felt he owed his coach for putting him in a difficult situation, and that was the intel we where hearing.
Iverson could [...]
Check the media player to the right and hit up the hardest working man in local basketball’s site here. Zags is the blanket for high school, college and pro hoops in the area. Dude broke Lance Stephenson’s commitment to Cincy.

“It’s not just Al (Harrington),” the source told TKB. “They are all for Iverson.”
Interesting that the team is all in agreement. Reports have mentioned a locker room that is divided based on a leadership [...]

“…Walsh has spent the past few days calling his inner circle of NBA friends about Iverson. One of those calls was to Larry Brown, the former Knicks coach, who was with Iverson in Philadelphia when the Sixers went to the NBA Finals.Brown, who has spoken highly of Iverson in recent years, said recently [...]
Tommy Dee says…hearing some clamoring about the Magic getting involved with Iverson and a source says the Magic let Antonio Daniels walk without a contract offer. I just can’t see the Magic getting involved.

Via Zagsblog from today’s practice:
“…GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Donnie Walsh’s cell phone rang in the middle of Knicks’ practice Tuesday, and the Knicks president stepped away from a large contingent of reporters to take the call.
