From a very quick view Bobby Jones himself seems like comparable player to Balkman. I read he has some defensive abilty, and it also appears that his offensive game is much more polished. I hope the Knicks don't end up waiving him.

We always have Marbury and Malik who could be sent packing to free up roster spots. Even Jerome. In fact all 3 shouldn't be here anyway.

He was projected in mocks for the 06 draft to go higher than Balkman.

i was at the 2006 draft. i got the draft booklet which talks about basically every player in it. balkman was not in the book at all. you were projected to go higher...

Jones should get the same patience as Danilo from those who have never seen him play

ur seriously comparing how we should approach the judgement of a #6 lottery pick to a scrub journeyman that has already been moved several times by other NBA teams in just 2 seasons?

Yes. Are you seriously saying that you can judge a player you've never seen play?

how about we give Mardy a chance, the guy who we used a 1st rd. draft pick to acquire? why are we bringing in all these scrubs to compete for minutes w/these guys? is Walsh trying to make a point to these guys that only hungry players will get playing time regardless of salary & draft positioning? maybe, who knows... i'll give him the benefit of the doubt there & trust in his judgement... if that's how it plays out then i got no issues w/these moves... but if i see Jared Jefferies continuing to fishsuck his way to yet another pathetic season while young guys who should be seeing minutes waste away on the bench again, i'm gonna question again why these moves were made to begin with.

i can assume that NBA teams know a little more about a player than you or i do... i'll leave it there.

You're a wise man, Andrew.
