The Knicks need to try and get Joakim Noah for Rolo. He's our missing link inside. His energy and passing ability is being wasted in chicago. He isn't a 30 plus min player any more, but playing 22 mins like he's been doing this year for us fits what were trying to do. His energy will help melo and KP, and the crowd.

Rolo is averaging similar numbers to Noah in similar minutes with the obvious spike in points for Rolo and assist for Noah.

Noah clearly is an after thought for them. Bring him home

Robin is not the weakest link. He is an nba starting center. Jose wouldn't start on any other team in the league. That's your weakest link.

Agree...

It's true, but the argument is over blown.

Who can we get at point guard? Even if you think anybody is better you still have to identify how were going to get that player. If you have identified someone the Knicks can make a trade for let's hear it.

Kristaps, Melo, Noah, Jennings, Affalo looks like an improved team. Jennings and Noah ate both expiring contracts too. So what you think now?

Seems like a no brainer to me. Jennings would be auditioning for a new contract. And I'm not sure about Noah's contract situation, but I'm sure we have the leverage since he's from NYC and we have a system build around his skill set. Those two guys alone would help us get into the playoffs and keep us from giving up a high draft pick, which would put another damper on this franchise thats clearly heading in the right direction. But if I know Phil, he doesn't do anything normal or rushed. He likes when there is mutual interest. And it should be with Noah.....Jennings is from the west coast, but he has that east coach game and understands how the NY media could help market his skills.

Of course making trades isn't easy, but as stated before, Jennings is a quick, low-gamble option. Vasquez was another, but thats out the window for now. Lawson was an option too, but we might not want the baggage.

Noah can't shoot worth a damn. Its why he is not fitting in. Why is he "built" for our system but not Bulls anymore? What is coach Fred demanding of him that he can't do?

we see melo improving, why can't Noah also improve as the season progresses? Why is a "Trade" the solution?
Why is Rolo a better fit for Chicago than in NY?
What is Noah's salary demands and market value?
While KP is more ready for the 5, are we really wanting to do this so fast?
If a Dump of Rolo, or Noah is off the bench player (which is likely is the rest of his career) then what is his price and expectation.

Noah only problem is his shooting but is ahead of Lopez in rebs, ast, blks, and stls. On the grand scale of things his Ast and scoring produce more points than Lopez does. I do not know if Noah can get back to scoring at a decent rate. If he gets up to 45% while keeping his other atributes he would be worth it at a fair price. The good thing is that he is an expiring contract so depending on how Noah does and KP does in his offseason the Knicks can judge how to go forward in FA.
