I doubt we do anything there as we must believe Camby will be able to give us minutes down the stretch.

Mozgov reminds me of Bill Wennington who did develope into a decent role player and has a few rings to show. I remember Jordan passing the ball to him for a game winning shot in a big playoff game.

BUlls were not defined by Wennington but if you really study Phil Jax's teams it was not about the marquee players, but the role guys and if the stars "trusted" them.

When they did, they won.

Moz was our starting center. That did not speak volumes about his talent but just how thin we were at the position "Post Trade".

As a rookie and one without NCAA experiece he showed he can play in the league and Im not talking "Summer league"!

He can play, but at what level? How many minutes? Does he have upside?

He is not as good as Kostas and JaVale has crazy upside.

We know about expendable players stepping up when giving a chance. Novak, Lin, and extra E proved valuable.

Im not saying Mozgov is the next big thing. there are players who just need a chance.

He'd be better being traded to a team and given one. Maybe he steps up, maybe not.

If NYKMentality is the final word, then he is toast.

Mozgov aint that good, and certainly was not a big part in why we got swept that year.

D'antoni > Billups injury > Amare injury >

Playing Turiaf and Amare at center was a big part of the reason why we dropped from 6th to 8th in the standings after the deal. Which resulted in getting steamrolled by the #1 seed Celtics.

Health at center was an issue the tail end of the regular season and heading into the playoffs

D'antoni played him earlier in the season, dude was awful.

Now way he makes an impact against the Celtics.

Man dudes catching feelings over past Knick players still? I thought with the record we have, current seed and all they would be a clear distant after thought but nope they are more relevant than they've ever been.

I see more and more discussion across forums with Knick fans discussing/clamoring how to get previous Knicks...lolmnop! Everyone from Lee to Mozgov...Rezzy to Nate

lol.. Go figure...

I hope you are not referring to me. I was against including Mozgov in the deal. Denver only did it to completely F us over

Good trade for both if it happens.

Actually doesn't make sense for the Bobcats. Both have identical $13mil contracts for this year and next. I thought Bobcats were doing this because Gordon had a longer contract and Hump gave them an expiring next year

I was looking more for talent and need. Bobcats need a bruiser at the 4 spot. They have 4 centers and at the 4 they Warrick and Tyrus Thomas, both known more for finesse. Mr. Kardashian and Biyombo would make a pretty rugged frontline along with MKG.
