Tour'e makes a lot of sense; specially, given that we will invest to keep Langston who is a 6'2" SG. We need length....

Yeah he's not a great offensive player but adding his defense will mean more to us than adding just a scorer would. I think it would add more versatility to the lineups you can play. It can be a tough call but since this team is really showing some serious defensive ability, it would be great to be able to add another solid defensive player at guard. We could put some KILLER defensive lineups on the floor. |

As currently constituted, the biggest problems with the Knicks are the inability to stop opposing PGs and and speed up the tempo/penetrating the paint to collapse the defense. Murry is good at both of these things. If he is now a confident offensive player, he is even a greater asset Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

He also seems like he's gonna run the offense and he's not looking to be a "Superstar" or play "hero ball". He's capable of doing everything but he's a more humble player. With a team like this that could make him a much better fit. We know he has some familiarity with being in NY too. You can watch the entire game here: |

Am I the only one who notices that our bench is in need of scoring? I loved Murry when he was 1st with us but our bench stuggles unless DWill has a good game. I would tryout Jimmer/Erick Green 1st then and if they both don't workout I would try Murry.

Let's see...he is a plus defender who can guard opposing point guards and contain penetration--by far our biggest weakness right now. He has good length and athleticism and can guard multiple positions--optimal in switching situations. He is an unselfish playmaker always looking to set up his teammates first. He has greatly improved his pg skills with the help of Van Exel coaching him in D league.He also happens to rebound really well for a guard. His only weakness is his jump shot. If he finds any consistency with it, and he has improved, he would be a huge upgrade for us at the position. To me it's a no brainer to give him a 10 day.He fills a need; doesn't cost anything, and by the way, is a real good guy and would fit right in with the team.

Yes, the bench is in need of a scoring punch, this is precisely why I think it is time to let go of a Seraphin and Sasha. We need fresh legs and defensive minded cats that can play both ends of the court Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)
