His shot is super iffy, but he was a lockdown perimeter defender at Florida. I think defensive type players look bad on bad teams- because bad teams generally can't score and one guy playing defense doesn't make a difference in results. Shelden Williams was also considered the "landlord" because he owned the paint. Knicks acquired two young players who were drafted top 10 because of their defensive pedigree primarily. If they add them to the rotation they could improve defensively. |

Why does Walsh get a pass for this trade when it was Walsh who pulled the trigger on the Houston deal last year when he gave up a lotto pick, the right to swap another and a rookie in Jordan Hill all for cap space and Jeffries contract? That seemed like an Isiah deal to me but nobody blamed Zeke. Now that we get our second star and give up a pick, every assumes its Isiah?I made numerous posts that it was Dolan who forced the TMac trade and gave up way too much. And, as we know, he is advised by Isiah. This trade also, same thing. Isn't the whole thing obvious? donnie also admitted it was his fault and that it was a mistake before. Let the Linsanity ensue!!!!!!

![]() The trade's done, and although we got mugged compared to gambling in the offseason, we have Melo now, and it's time for Walsh to get some more deals sealed.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year.
GO KNICKS!

![]() Man i'm actually pretty pleased with the players we ended up with in this deal. Nothing spectacular, but we actually need a Big that can really rebound and bang a little. Shelden should be quite useful. A kid like Brewer could also be very useful as a defensive substitution.
I Love what Billups brings to the table as a leader, shooter and solid Finals winning PG. Of course then we have the the big chip in Melo. I don't see a downside to this except that they don't have a lot of time to develop chemistry. This is a better team today than it was yesterday IMO. No more wondering if Chandler and Gallo are gonna actually bring it this game. As much as I like those guys, it was a bit disappointing how too often they just didn't come thru. It seemed to be a mental thing. They didn't always play with that aggression or confidence of a Star and we needed them to play that way. We won't have to worry about that with Melo. |

But MDA may have no choice but to play Shelden Williams because he has no size. Turiaf doesn't play half the games. |

Brewer, Noah, Lee, Williams all have suffered at least a loss at the hands of the mighty 'Noles Bill Simmons on Tyreke Evans
