We don't need another power forward. I'd like to work Lee in at some point. QRich isn't as bad as he's been playing.

No !!

Kenny is a solid player who can rebound,and score in the post, however right now I don't think he can help the team. We need a sf forward that can hit the deep three and play d.

I have always thought of Kenny as an in between player at the sf and pf.

this would leave us with a GAPING hole at the sg/sf spot. you could argue that q1 is himself a gaping hole but you get the point.

as each day goes by, the worse and worse that KT deal looks.

OK, so the KT deal never goes through. Now what do we do? We STILL have a gaping hole at the SG/SF spot. I'd rather have Nate and Q and a gaping hole than KT and a gaping hole. Not to mention, Isiah might not even have drafted Lee if we already had KT. I'd do that KT trade 9 times out of 10, with the 10th time being a mistake.

yup, but now we have a pretty damn good frontcourt with KT + curry starting with frye and AD off the bench. not having a KT type player here is really killing us.

hey, i was for the trade also...but it's pretty apparent that q1 was overvalued and nate may not have a true role for us for more than 15 mins a night. all for the price of a solid two-way player that could still help. we can look back in hindsight no problem. but we're also not getting paid millions to say, oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

and maybe with KT in the fold, we don't run out a get jerome...

I can't remember a player getting WORSE shooting wise as their career went on. When Q's shots start to fall this trade will look great.

his fg% has really been on a downward trend over his career.

i'm not saying he stinks. he's a volume shooter, as stated by his own GM in bryan colangelo. we need high % shooters/scorers, not volume ones.

This was a bad trade fromthe word go. Never liked it. I agreed the knicks neede to move Kurt, but not for an undersized sf. Even at the 2G, he shoots 37 percent and isn't even better than Craw. Could live without Nate to. He's a nice spark plug, be will not be a major factor in our rebuilding. He's a change of pace 10-15 min a night guy.

Isiah should have waited it out. Dallas always wanted Kurt, GS needs a big man, so does Chicago, Nets, ATl, and Denver..

Did he suck when he put up 15/6 on a 62 win team last year? Even if you don't like many aspects of Q's game, you cannot run a team successfully by selling low. Wait 'til Q returns to his normal numbers before trading him.

omg!

I loved & defended KT and I wish him the best- but don't look at this deal as a Q for KT- look at it as a KT for Nate with Q as filler!

If/when nate puts it together, you'll forget about Q.

Q has been lost- is he depressed- probably; taking a while to adjust to his new team- a little; hurt- possibly; suffering from Tim Thomasitis- quite possibly.

If a good deal game, move him- he hasn't helped us and maybe he is not mentally tough enough for ny!
