What do you think the Knicks are going to do?

[mike3]

They said they were going to get an impact player, plus there was talk about them keeping both lee and nate or letting one go?

Now that the've drafted Jordan Hill im hoping Lee stays so they can start at PF and C but i havent really got a good idea of what will happen.

What do you guys think they'll do? I personally hope they let go of harrington and possibly duhon to get a new starting PG

Hill/Lee can't play C. They are both PFs. They would get eaten alive at C. New York sucks and is doomed forever. (Or until Bron bron goes there)...

Lol you seem so certain, i disagree, id like to see how they would go. Lee's profile says forward - center so i think they'd go ok

don't the Knicks need help on the perimeter and they draft a BIG MAN???? Isiah is gone so there is no excuse...

yeh but surely the Knicks had a reason why they drafted another big man

David lee is a 6 9 unathletic PF. No way he could play Center effectively

 

[mike3]

i spose thats just your oppinion, i see your point but i dont think he'd do that badly at C

 

[Mogriffjr]

Lee played a ton of center last year...D'Antoni's system really doesn't call for a true center. I'm sure you'll see Hill/Lee in at the same time.

 

[Mogriffjr]

I think that now with Milicic in the rotation, Lee will be spending most of his time at PF which really suits him best.

IMO Darko isn't that good to warrant Lee seeing more time at PF...heh.

Yeah because D'Antoni's system worked so well last season, really got them deep in the playoffs.

Even God woukdnt have been able to coach that team into the playoffs. Dave can play Center, he's a beast for rebounding and his leauge leading 65 double doubles proved that. When you say that he would get eaten by the best centers, no shit. Yao, Dwight and Shaq are nearly unstoppable so unless your team has one of those three then your team would be eaten alive by them too. Hopefully Hill and Lee stay in NY, both are hard workers and will fit in the D'Antoni system.

Who gives a shit, it's the Knicks? They aren't even trying to be competitive this year.

Which is sad. I like a good New York Knicks story just as much as the next basketball fan. Donnie Walsh is a genius though, give it time and he'll build a contender with or without LeBron.

Lee played center last year and led the league in double-doubles.....you guys doubt him heavily, even against ORL(Dwight Howard) he pulled down 10,13, and 16 boards in their three games.

I hope they keep both Lee and Nate, both are great players and bring terrific energy. They are just missing a few key guys before they can contend for playoffs. I don't know why ppl dont like Duhon, i thought he did a good job running the team.

Knicks have great role players in Duhon,Nate,Lee,Hughes,Harrington and Wilson Chandler is improving. The only thing they're missing is a "take-over" player, Harrington was their go-to guy which he should be the 2nd or 3rd option and Nate was too streaky to be the star of the team and so was Chandler. Duhon i would say was most consistent.

Duhon was consistent early in the year but he struggled late...to the effect that they put Nate into the starting lineup to jolt the team.

 

[Vinsane]

You doubting Donnie Walsh?

He built a contender in Indiana of all places. They didn't get the job done but look at the market he has now. He's very capable of bringing in pieces not named LeBron James, and still make a contender. To think he'll need LeBron to do so? The City of Cleveland wishes that was true.

In order to compete, the Knicks need an actual center. Their centers they got now( Eddy Curry and David Lee) are both power forwards playing the center position.

Yeah true, maybe New York were thinking (by drafting jordan hill) they would have to guys in Lee and Hill, Lee is 6-9 and Hill is 6-10. If they played at the same time they could work well. both good scorers and rebounders, plus hill can block a shot.
There not gonna be able to stop players like yao by themselves but maybe by helping eachother out they could atleast slow players like yao down.

 

[Mogriffjr]

At this point Yao is stopping himself lmao...

only have to worry about Howard and Shaq...even Shaq is about to be out.

There's not many true centers living in the NBA...Yao, Howard and Brook Lopez is beginning to get up there...these are guys who figure to be big parts of their team's offenses.

Lee held his own against Howard too...they need to be better on the perimeter defensively just as much as inside. Hill should help with that at least weakside...Douglas will help on the perimeter.

 

[mike3]

Yeh i hear Toney Douglas is a pretty good pick-up (according to the knicks draft review on nba.com) so im looking forward to the start of the next season with the inclusions of him and Hill

that unathletic PF led the league in double doubles so the rest of the league must really suck

 

[NAHSTE]

David Lee, unathletic?
