With all signs pointing toward the Knicks signing Allen Iverson once he clears waivers at 6 p.m. on Thursday, the Miami Heat have become late entrants in the sweepstakes.
According to sources, the Heat are now "hot after" Iverson as well. That could be because they are not happy with Mario Chalmers' running of the offense, or because they simply want to make the Knicks pay more than the $1.4 million veteran's minimum they will likely offer. The Knicks are still in control here, as Iverson won't have to share the ball with Dwyane Wade in New York, while they still have a mid-level exception they can use if necessary. Then again, if AI wants to win a championship, he could decide to play in Miami if their interest is legitimate. Source: New York Daily News
