If the Berman (cough) report is accurate, at least one Knicks player from last years roster is getting busy. The New Orleans Times Picayune reports that Jonathan Bender has stepped up hie training regimen with the intent of building on last year. Benders knees have responded and the next step is building stamina.

Clyde feels Wilson Chandler is as good as The Answer Man claims and Toney Douglas is working on his shot.

Has anybody seen Gallo?

Even The Answer Man Needs To Stay Sharp During The Summer

Q. fish.mike - are you saying there is a cure for stiff legs?

A. Not any more than there is a pill that will make you seven feet tall

Building from the bottom up

Donnie Walsh has an idea about his reserve players. Acquire the best quity for the lowest cost. Bill Walker is a bargain at 800K. Toney Douglas is solid and will play defense. Bender is the tenth man off the bench.

Wilson Chandler's status will depend on how strongly trading partners covet his skill set. I hope he stays.

The only returning starter at this date is Gallo and even he could be recast as a sixth man, pending the free agents du jour.

Every position is wide open.

I remember the summer Trevor Ariza added 10 lbs of muscle.

I guess that didn't do much eh ?

JrhustlA - Ariza didn't improve much. He just became a valuable piece for a championship contender and earned a nice contract offer from the Houston Rockets

delusional indeed

Trade away Wilson Chandler and weep

jamal
harrington

mda was on 1050 espn radio today saying that many of the young knick players (gallo, wilson, douglas, walker) have been doing a lot of working out together of late...

Debbie Downers R Us

fish.mike - might as well just pack it in and not watch, right?

Too funny

C'mon fish, you want tough players yet on the eve of draft night and just 8 days away from the cap space freedom some Knicks fans KNEW was impossible, the best you can do is fret about a silly worst case scenario?

Are we not men?

Debbie Downs what? Earl i'm shocked. This is a family site.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Kam77 - nice, chicken liver hearted fans need to take a nap and you know it

Am I calling out anyone in particular?

If you are kvetching over Trevor Ariza, yes...and if:

- you miss Jamal Crawford, Howard Eisley or Zach Randolph

- you automatically go into a panic, no matter who Walsh selects

- you think Lebron can't handle being booed on an off night

- you think a Brand new starting five will cohere before February

- you take The Answer Man seriously

Good for them. I hope that they are able to stay together and be productive as a group over the next few years.(As unlikely as the chances for this are given the trade rumors swirling around.)

Great to hear about Walker's weight. Very impressive drop- hope his legs are doing well.

There is more to having a good team than just bringing a number of talented individuals together on the court. Hopefully these guys are developing the kind of bonds and trust by working out and hanging out which translate to success on the court.

How many times did you fall for Eddy Curry's annual "I'm in great shape" BS ?

Was it 4, or maybe 5 times?

Jrzyhustla - I am flattered that you feel it your responsibility to document my previous scribblings, but to be frank, it is a new season and I find your redundant negative banter extremely boring.

For the record, I'm still pulling for Eddy Curry. So sue me

It is only basketball

I think the concern with Walker will always be his knees. Not sure if he gained the weight because of his injury.

Crushalot - if DaJuan Blair can work his way back missing precious ACL tissue, hopefully the talented Mister Bill Walker is having an excellent Summer in the weight room

His skills have never been in doubt
