The Knicks Moving Forward

I dont like Amare at Center for large portions.  They need to get a big man that can bang and give Amare some rest.  That is key to their success.

Im not sure why you do these imaginary trade scenarios, but this one is horrid. The Nuggets wouldn’t do that trade even if Dvid Kahn himself was running the team

 FWIW, Jeremy Tyler went 39th, Harrelson went 45th..

Nuggets have nothing to do with this.

Amare at Center won’t work unless its against teams with small Centers.

Knicks definately need a Center and Josh Smith isn’t the answer we don’t need more guys who take 3’s for no reason.

Why would Atlanta Trade Bigger Zaza For smaller Ronny?

 I hate Zaza, he is a troublemaker and Hinrich sucks. I respect your idea though.

 For the record, Jeremy Tyler may have been selected ahead of Josh Harrellson but we could’ve simply bought the rights of Tyler as the Warriors did. Bad move by the Knicks.

if anything i was hoping knicks picked up faried at 17. yes that would mean amare at center, but faried is monster on glass and got harrellson who i think will become a solid role player/starter for them down the line.. im not sold on shumpert, but time will tell

 And in an ideal world, I would like to see the Knicks re-invest in this draft and perhaps purchase/trade for the rights to guys like Nikola Vucevic, Darius Morris, Malcolm Lee and Adam Hanga (59th pick of the Spurs that I’m confident will become a household name in the distant future). This may have not been a particularly star-studded draft but they have solid role players, which is exactly what this team needed. Best of all, they come fairly cheap and will allow us to focus our mid-level exception on a stellar bench player/average starter as opposed to dividing it up amongst several mediocre players.

As for trades, I’d actually like to see the Knicks package Toney Douglas and $3 million for Xavier Henry. Henry is a shooting guard that is a lefty marksmen from deep thatcan defend the ball fairly well. He can certainly could start for our team. With the mid-level exception, I’d look to acquire Samuel Dalembert, which would help round out the starting lineup.

The Knicks really need a center, too bad that Vucevic wasnt available at 17, now they really need to make a move for Dalembert, but the rumors are that he’s going to Miami, and with the new CBA they will probably dont have enought cap space to make a move for Chris Paul if they overpay one of the FA Centers as Nene, Marc Gasol, Chandler or DeAndre Jordan, or take a risk at Oden or Ming.

Complex situation for them, and dont have enought assets to trade for a good starting center. An Earl Barron and Jerome Jordan center is the most possible move for next year, but that wont be enough for a long playoff run.

Atlanta would NOT go for that Trade. How is that benefical to them??? Doing too much..

im pretty confident well land cp3 but thts a different conversation.

i like shumpert. i hope he can develope into a great defender. he has potential to stop the 1,2and the 3. thats going to be crucial if were looking to win a title. i dont know much about Harrellson, so i guess hell get sent down to the dleague. this draft was about premetiter defenders. the only two choices tht i belive the knicks were thinking about were singleten and shumpert. well get our big men in FA. we have jerome jordan coming in who would be a first round draft pick in this draft. and there is a plethera of big men who can bang, rebound and play D.

i see this as the rotation for the upcoming season(if there is one)

Starters

billups/fields/melo/amare/vet big out of FA

Reserves

douglass,shumpert,walker,williams,,turiaf,jerome jordan

i predict Knicks will sign Shane Courtney Battier as a free agent…

Sorry Nard But Henry was clueless when it came to guarding SG. He is too slow to guard that position.

Also he shot 12 percent form the 3 point line

As far as Landing CP#..not sure how they will afford that one with the NEW CBA( even with this CBA).Thats now a pipe dream
