I could care less about the BS about his age-experience--the guy is a 7-1 270 pound skill C who can put the ball on the floor rebound pass and also take it outside. Put KT back to PF and put Lampe right into the fray. We are not winning this year,but Maciej Lampe is the key to the Knicks future. He deserves a 4-5 year contract just like a first round pick perhaps 4 years for 5mm and a year option. I would like the Knicks to get this done. Stop lally gacking with the BS trade stuff and take careof your own. This guy is a true potential franchise C and the best thing for the franchise is to let him get his bumps and bruises.

For those who have not seen him he is HUGE. he has a tremendous frame and from all accounts he is still growing and is AGGRESIVe with more heart than most and or all of the current Knick players.

I kind of laugh when I hearsome people saying Ndiyae should start????? Lampe outplayed him and hes 7 years younger in SL by far!

We got lucky. It's impossible for us to know his skills before the draft because you just dont get to see him play--but Im a bit shocked the Knicks didnt take him 9 and the whole frikin league missed the boat. lampe and Sweetney truly give NY hope for the future-we need one more good draft like this one--maybe Okafor and Julius Page?

Hey i agree.Lampe is not athletic like Nowitzki.I dont see the comparison,so i dont even know y they did that.But he is quick for a center.Like Duncan n B.Miller.

I think that Lampe is still a couple of years away at playing center at least. I think I would rotate him depending on matcu ups but to start at Center, I think right now is a no-no.. BTW lampe is 9 years younger than N'dai, and did N'dai even make the team?

If guys like Boozer and Tinsley gets playing time and their skills are no better off than Lampe, Chaney should not hold Lampe back.

And if you plan on taking chances in developing young talent, now its time to show and tell....building confidence sets the foundation for talent to succeed.

Lampe needs to come off the bench this year at center and play 15-20 minutes a game. He won't really stand out a lot for two or three years but will eventually develop into a starting center.

I think Lampe should be given around 30 minutes. You know if Googs never went down, Stoudamire would probably never got the chance last season to prove he was rookie of the year. Chaney's got to give the rookie some minutes (whether at the 3, 4, or 5) , cause based on these stat lines its obvious hes got talent.

i would rather put Lampe at the 4. lampe doesnt have that much hops and blocking ability. id rather have somebody down there who can clog the lane. with lampe down there everybody is going to be dunking on him. even though he did great as a center in the summer league, i think after a couple seasons he will get quicker. i havent really seen him play but from what ive been hearing i think he can.

He isn't too sure if he'll play at all in NY this year.

BTW, notice how he won't speak on the Keith Van Hype trade...
Maybe another sensible dissenting opinion? Hmm....
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Or maybe he feels "that's not something about which he should give my opinion".

Why shouldn't he, unless his opinion differs from the company line...

Smart kid...

Snowman, don't mind these fools who get a hard on talking about Layden, Chaney and Houston. These same rocks will be there cheering when they see Don Chaney work with what he has and shock the world and make the playoffs without Mewell, to prove my point we didn't need spree to make the playoffs and he was the guy out of position who miss 8 games and helped us actually miss the playoffs.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Ohh yeah... Keith Van Hype and Allan Houston are gonna bring the NBA to their knees this year. Hey playa, I don't think we all believe in what you see in that crystal ball of yours...

PLAYA i agree, i think the KNICKS will make the playoffs this year. Will we in the championship..... OFCOURSE NOT, but its a start. You will have guys say we won't make the playoffs, then when we do, you will have guys say, we won't win the championship, so what. We are rebuilding, playoffs is a great accomplishment for a team in our position. Plus is will shut up all the SPREWELL fans who think he was the reason we made it to the playoffs the last 2 yrs..OOPS WE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS THE LAST 2YS WITH SPREWELL HEADLINING !!!!
