Its not about being able to hit his outside jumpers...how many times do we have to see him blow layup opportunities because he's afraid to make a layup??? Dude can only pass to David Lee on the pick and roll and the whole league knows it...
Luke Ridinour: He's been getting choppy minutes this season...he's been playing effecient basketball this year. The veteran experience seems to be finally rubbing off on him...and probably the presence of Brandon Jennings has also lit a fire under him. He's not an all world point guard but neither is Duhon. Can't nobody say anything bad about Ridinour's defense because Duhon has been horrible for 2 seasons now. Ridinour can and will take his man off the dribble and hit the outside shot. Dude is also a very creative passer. Last year of his contract...Knicks could easily get him in a lateral trade...Bucks trying to save cap too but are trying to make the playoffs.
Steve Blake: Andre Miller and Bayless are out the dog house and winning games for Portland. Steve Blake is basically not as good as either, but he is very good at playing the point guard spot. Not particulary good at anything, but he actually does the things that Duhon is rumored to do. Blake could come right in and take over Duhons spot with no prob. He's an ending contract as well and the Knicks might get away with shipping Jared since Portland lacks size.
Mike James: I think they are punishing the dude for being confident in his abilities. Dude is getting old now but he still has major talent. Dude would come in cold and put up 18pts a night and 5 assists especially in this offense. He's a NY dude that knows his window is closing. Again...a lateral trade could work...That city needs a sideshow and Nate is that dude...Maybe Nate and Jared for Mike James and Deshawn Stevenson??? Nothing changes cap wise...Knicks do get a guard that cares in Stevenson to play defense off the bench.
TJ Ford: wtf happened to this guy??? he's not as good as anybody thought he would. He's still way better than Duhon and needs an offense to run. D'antoni could get the best outta TJ Ford...same way he is attempting to do that with Duhon. Thing is TJ actually has the talent to do it. He's not hurt...he's just in the pacers doghouse. Indiana could take jared and a filler as a lateral move...Troy Murphy is also on the block too so maybe Murphy could take a ride as well. Indiana makes a good trade partner with the knicks imho
I'm just bloggin y'all....add to the discussion with your ideas...Duhon has totally worn out his welcome in NYC.
