I can only think of a few. The 2 who are 3's are bad defenders and white, and it seems we would be over our limit (1) for white players on our team. just jokes guys.

Wally Szerbiac (sp)
Mike Miller

Then who?
Peja? I don't want him.
Cory Magatte Is he really a shooter or Crawford in a chiseled body?
Kyle Korver we can't get him.


You guys wont like these last 2 but they could work, and could probably be had too.

Jalen Rose
Bonzi Wells

None of the above. Who else it out there? Ron Mercer is probably avialable.

I'd take Bonzi, he can D up well. Mike Miller is the purest of pure shooters that isn't a star. His shot is super wet.

I agree, we definitely need a "shooter outlet".
Peja? I don't want him.

Peja is the best player in this bunch you mentioned, and we can't get him. You would prefer Kyle Korver? Why?

As far as Jalen Rose, he would be griping about playing time in about ten minutes, and god knows what Bonzi Wells might do.

I think the only player you mentioned that I would take and we might have a shot at is Sczerbiak. I think his defensive deficiencies are overblown, but he is a very good offensive player and an outstanding shooter.

oohah


Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I would take Miller and Peja over everyone else. Wally too much money, injury issues a big question mark.
I don't like to play bad rookies , I like to play good rookies - Mike D'Antoni

I wouldn't take none of them except Jalen Rose. He's hungry for the ship and I figure if he comes here he has a great season and helps the knicks do really big things. And plus he's not one dimesonal he can play like three positions and give us some flexiblity off the bench. I doubt if he would cry for time because he didn't do that in Toronto last year when they benched him for the inferior Eric Willams

I'd give penny some run until Q finds his health.

Penny for Jalen is something that makes sense. Lets do it. It will help give us some flexibility until Ariza develops a jumper of his own.

We get Jalen and we are in the playoffs this year, but the Raps might want Malik and not Penny.

How about Malik and Penny for Jalen and Eric Willams. I know Eric sucks but he can play a lil defense and they don't have to let him play all that much because we got Trevor. The only downside is that we probably would have to end the Matt Barnes era before it even begins.

How about Matt Carroll. Too bad we cut him a while back. White boy. Now with Good Charlotte I think.

if we do bring in another shooter, why would we ever want overpaid liabilities like jalen or wally? i'd much rather look for guys like carroll or dermarr who we got for next to nothing, put them on the jackie butler plan.

also, anyone think we should keep houston around to be for our guards what aguirre is for our big men? if allan can teach trevor and dave lee his stroke...

Mike Miller is very nice. Get him and we are all set.

Well I know Jalen wants to put the icing on the cake for his NBA career and playing for the Knicks would give him a better chance to win a championship and he still got some game. Wally? I don't like his game even though he is a good shooter at 50% for the year last year. Both of these guys could help but, the main reason is small forward is our weakest link right now and we have a lot of pf and centers. I usually say just keep the bigs, but if Q gets hurt during the year all we have is slashers and Jamal's inconsistent jump shot.

I'd rather use Penny's and AD's expiring contracts on younger players not past their primes. Maybe if we get off to a great start and look like we can contend for the east and Jalen is the final piece, I would do the deal, but the only way that would happen is if Curry reaches his potential very quickly or Frye becomes a star right away.

The best shooter in the league is called Joe Johnson, but I guess we can't touch him.
