What do you think the Knicks are going to do?

[Mit]

Knicks need to get rid of the dumbasses (Larry Hughes, Eddy Curry, and maybe Q-Rich) off their team. They have great, young talent and they should use that.

Q-rich has already been traded to Grizzlies.

completely agree, Lees not unathletic

around the 5:17 mark, look at the dunk against blazers lol its a nice putback

Knicks aren't gonna be as bad as people think. I have a good feeling that NYK will be getting Lebron and another star in next years free agency. I don't see how they won't. The possibilites are endless. I can see them getting Lebron, Bosh, Wade, Nash, T-Mac. (Not all of them, just 2 of the couple of stars in the FA Pool)

Toney Douglas was a great addition for the Knicks, whoever watched FSU played basketball last season knows that this kid is gonna be one hell of a player. Hope they can keep Nate too. I love the guy.

 

[Rayman]

Douglas being drafted pretty much means you can kiss Nate goodbye.

Lee = unathletic?

:jonesy:

His defense needs so much work, though.

A lot of the Knicks' problems would be alleviated if Eddy Curry were to somehow pull his head out of his fat ass. D'Antoni and Walsh are talking a good game about how hard he's working to get back in shape this offseason, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Same goes for Gallinari staying healthy. Dude's got a sweet shot, but if he's always gonna be hurt, he's more or less a joke.

If somehow these things happened to go right, the Knicks would be a dangerous team.

So you saying that cause Knicks drafted Toney Douglas then Nate is gone? but also they drafted Jordan Hill so people are saying Lee will go?

damn, i hope both of them dont leave

Even if that were to happen(and it won't), dude is still soft as butter. Can't rebound, can't play D, and has no desire.

 

[IamMedellin]

well they need to drop harrington b/c wilson chandler is gonna be a beast

they need sharpshooters...a defensive specialist 2 guard...a pg... and some big men who can run the floor...Jennings mightve been been a better fit than hill.....Runio might be the answer,,,MAYBE...
Lee is invaluable....Nate should be on the 1st bus outta town....Bosh n Lebron + rubio, lee, chandler, jennings n a few shooters....n MSG is hostin the finals

 

[Anthony]

I don't see Nate coming back. There's no reason he should, As much as I love to see him "amp" up the crowd or go ape-shit for 3 games and then disappear. The fact of the matter is he's just a turnover machine. I love Nate as much as the other man, but I love the Knicks more and i'm all for them improving.

We've been an embarrassment the last couple of years and that's not Knicks basketball - whether they win it all or not. The Knicks of a few years back atleast gave it their all, That's not something I can say about the current team, It's more of a "ME, ME, ME" deal - Which does not work, Just ask Kobe that. I think that the direction Donnie Walsh is guiding is through is what will finally make us contenders (crosses fingers). Plus, I'd rather have "Unathletic" David Lee anyday over Nate.

GO NY GO NY GO!

Which is why I'm hoping D'Antoni is mentally and emotionally beating the shit out of him. I hope he destroy's Eddy's psyche so much that he becomes a brutal thug out there.

If only that guy gave some semblance of an effort...I knew he had heart problems when the Knicks traded for him, but I didn't think it was THAT kind of heart problem.

You can't make a tough guy out of a softie. You either have that fire/nastines/chip on your shoulder in you(like Oakley, Mase, X-Man) or you don't. It can't be taught, man.

Did you see the back of today's Daily News? Why would the Knicks want a 37-year old Jason Kidd?

We've been a joke because of short-sighted management the past eight years. Layden and Isiah were disasters and Dolan is a horrible owner. Walsh is doing what the Knicks should have been doing after the playoff loss to Toronto.

 

[Vinsane]

I believe the issue with Nate isn't what he brings to the team with his game play. Rather, what he could bring to the team via trade.

Nate Robinson is that trade bait that could bring in another talent, or two. Teams in need of a PG would settle for Nate Robinson. His youth, his energy, that's appeasing stuff to teams in search of a "fiery" PG. I like Nate, I think he's a great player to be doing what he does at his size. He would be a nice pick up for teams already with a "younger" core group.

Yeh agreed, i still hope that he stays in NYK but even if he does go hopefully he'll get picked up by a good team that Nate fits in well with

Sad thing is you're right, and I was watching that playoff series how many fucking years ago? And we are just now doing the things we should have done back then.

Somebody kill me.

There's this stupid unwritten rule in NY sports that the fans won't tolerate rebuilding. Bullshit - fans will tolerate rebuilding if they see a plan and the team is playing hard. But ever since they won the title in '73, the Knicks have been trying that rebuilding-on-the-fly shit, signing veterans past their prime(Spencer Haywood, Larry Johnson) to phat contracts hoping to sneak into the playoffs(and raise ticket prices). That is the road to mediocrity. Thank goodness we got lucky with Ewing, otherwise Knick history would really be woeful.

There are two ways to become a perennial contender(50+ wins, get to the 2nd round of the playoffs) - a) draft a franchise player and build around him, or b) get under the cap, sign top flight free agents and build around them. Walsh is thinking long-term with Plan B.

...and remember, Knicks don't have a draft pick next season thanks to the Curry trade. Isiah really fixed our wagon, didn't he? That's the mess Walsh has to deal with.

Is that the Curry trade? I thought it was a remnant of the Steph trade.

My bad, you're right, it was the Steph trade.
