Iverson was just sent home...the Knicks have completely imploded 6 games into the season. They need a DOG that will bring it every night. Iverson will end scoring droughts....PERIOD!!! Did I mention that there is a whole in the Back court named Chris Duhon yet???

Match made in heaven....I don't think the trade can be made till December....Donnie Walsh needs to get it down....If you gotta trade Wilson Chandler who gives a ****...next year Wilson's Role will become Lebrons...wake up people.

KNICKS MUST GET IVERSON!!!!

I been trying to tell yall that when Lowry was getting benched for no reason.

Iverson must be a Knick....no other team fits him more.

pretty much a wash in terms of salaries exchanged but AI's not happy in MEM & we need an upgrade at the PG position in the worst way right now... Hunter's an upgrade over Fishlips & Jaric has the size & versatility to play either backcourt position as a backup... Chandler has no role here w/Gallo growing into his own, he will likely have a better shot to fully blossom in MEM playing alongside Mayo, Gay & Thabeet.

of course i'd rather try & get Rubio using Chandler as a trade asset but if that can't happen i'd consider bringing AI in here for the rest of the year & let him put up some numbers while he plays for his next contract... at least it will give Knick fans a marquee player to watch for a year until the summer when we can target an impact free agent to build this team around.

i would have to have Fishlips for Jaric in there to give us some depth in the backcourt... losing Fishlips will free up minutes for Hill to get playing time too... it's a win-win for both teams IMO.
