While the press was chasing Lebron, Walsh was chasing Mozgov and Felton and Randolph and Turiaf. Meanwhile, Landry Fields, who is completely ignored may be able to ay a lick and Bill Walker has dropped a few pounds. Point being, Carmelo is nice but the future is now

2011 is months away and by 2012 The Garden interior will sparkle with new seats and sightlines. Donnie Walsh has exceeded expectations by assembling a roster with size, versatIlity and most of all - yoots. The oldest man in the roster is the ancient Stoudemire at 27. How cool is that?

No more talk of these Knicks as commodities. They are people who we have yet to see as a unit or shiftlines. If Carmelo, or the next max free agent, is on the way I can wait.

Whatever the misunderstanding is with his representation, work it out. Sign Earl Barron and let's get to rebounding, running and gunning

I say sign him, play him the move him for a 2nd rder at the trade deadline.

Walsh also said there had been "a mix-up of some kind" recently between the Knicks and the representatives of center Earl Barron, who played the final seven games of last season with New York, but that the Knicks were still interested in re-signing the 7-footer.

Do you really want Barron (a 29 year old journeyman) at $1.5M--- this is on the basis of 6 or 8 games at the end of the season. I would give him the minimum at a veteran exception, but I would not mess with 2011 cap space or beyond to bring him back. Jerome Jordan can hack Bosh for $470K (or get some other big to hack him for $470K non-guaranteed)

The Earl of Barron provides depth and insurance at center

The Knicks need 4 centers
1. To start next to A'mare because A'mare is not a center, but he can play the five when D'Antoni is in a running mood - Mozgov

2. To come off the bench at the 8 minute mark - Turiaf

3. To give a hard foul on Bosh, or any other big man who dares to venture into the paint - Jordan

4. As insurance for the inevitable January injury - Barron

Sign me up

he could go ten deep if he pleases

If you define "big men" as dudes over 6'9, yes the Knicks have more than they have had in decades but if we have learned anything from the Lakers....you can never have too many

Who is matching up with Bynum?

With Dwight Howard or Bosh?

Sign The Barron of Earl as insurance
