Pablo Prigioni has been the floor general that the Knicks have needed to keep them steady. Also signed outright for no assets in exchange.

Copeland the 28 year old rookie. Great find.

JKidd, another steady hand on the floor. A terrific pick up contributing way more than I ever thought a 40 y/o guard ever could.

Grunwald has done a terrific job finding players without needing assets to get them (except for that bum, Camby).

Hopefully Chandler is getting his wind. A healthy Chandler and Martin backing him up are a great platoon at Center.

but back to what you originally said - the kenyon signing is the first sign of good luck this franchise has had in a loooooooong time.

Good luck?

Pablo, Felton, JR smith, Copeland, Novak, and Lin have all been good luck.

Actually, the team is been very fortunate even with injuries. We have dealt with them and had the luxury of a deep team to supplant them.

I love what we're getting from KMart right now. It just makes the team so responsive on D. He was without a doubt the best pick up we could hope for.

We split up 18 minutes between Cope and Novak last night. Keep Kenyon in the rotation and give STAT those minutes. At this point, we're not losing anything from either of those two.

That may have been nostalgia on my part but seeing Melo, JR and K-Mart on the same team again just puts a smile on my face.

it utterly baffles me why ANY team didn't sign this guy.

If we make it to the ECF, KMart vs Birdman is going to be EPIC!

That said they were very lucky to pick up Martin- but that's not a ton of luck. Martin is a known quantity in the league and people chose not to sign the guy, so it is what it is. They were more fortunate to strike gold with a guy like Copeland Or PRigioni.

It's really just Amare who's out and the team seems to be much better without him.

Sheed, Camby. If those 2 guys are healthy the Knicks are a much more complete team. Kmart as picked up the slack for those 2.
