We really need to bring him home), LJ (who's already here) or all 3. I might even think about making Tim Duncan a huge offer to come aboard if he retires (if I'm Duncan I'm thinking if Hakeem can teach all these young guys, so could I). Money would be no object. If I'm Dolan, I'd make Olajuwon an offer he couldn't refuse to come work exclusively with Towns and the Knicks. If Hakeem declined, I'd at least sign up Towns for every side session with Olajuwon that was available. Bottom line is I'd want to do everything in my power to make sure I got Towns up to speed skill-wise asap, esp. considering he wasn't developed nearly enough in college. |

This kid has 3pt range. When I watched him play in high school he was more of a perimeter stretch 4. Give coach cal and his staff credit for teaching him post moves
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

I also believe Phil is reading my threads before his latest blog came out on the type of players hes looking for. Two way players like Towns and winslow. I cant post from my cell phone. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

I feel like he's got some Sheed in him - I think he's somewhere between a Sheed and a Drummond and an Anthony Davis. aka very very very good. I would be thrilled if we got Towns. ¿ △ ?

Truthfully id be happy with towns okafor or russell. My top 2 choices are towns or russell because they fill big needs. We need a big man who can rebound defend and score inside which towns can do. Russell is thr impact guard we have missed for years

Russell is thr impact guard we have missed for years yep, i agree. any of the big three would be a godsend. i'd have the hardest time talking myself into okafor, but it could be done. we picked a good year to be historically terrible, if nothing else. ¿ △ ?

Many people think mudiay could still end up being the best of the bunch but playing in china hasnt gotten him the exposure of the other 3. Then you have prospects Like winslow stein kaminsky along with some euro talent. My point is on the off chance we dont pick in top 3 i still dont want to trade the pick for a flawed playerStarksEwing1 wrote:Truthfully id be happy with towns okafor or russell.

Out of all the names you mentioned, we can perhaps attract Ewing to come to NY; and even that is a stretch. The one dude we can and must hire is KAJ Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

If I'm Phil I'd convince Dolan to make Hakeem Olajuwon a ridiculous offer to come here and teach/mentor KAT full-time. Something he couldn't refuse..If he declined, then next on the list -- Tim Duncan (if he retires) or Pat Ewing (if his contract in Charlotte's up). Get one of those legends to go along with Larry Johnson. If we're luck enough to draft Towns, go the extra mile and invest in a worthwhile big man coach. Who's KAJ? |

You must not know how much tax newyorkers have to pay to leave in NY. Dolan need to swallow his pride and bring Ewing home. Kareem is a Newyorker and has worked with Phil in the past. He already has the blueprint of the triangle and coached several bigs to be effective in the system Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)
