My top center aquisitions;

Chris Anderson
Desagana Diop
Kwame Brown

You think I'm joking but let's get a potential guy at the 5 who can just rebound, block shots, run and set picks. That's all this guy needs to do on this team. Think about the team we have now, fast spread out, you don't want some clunker down in the paint. Anderson can jump over everyone with the floor spread out like it will be.

No to James. He's not really all the coordinated and he fouls a lot.

Reguardless we need one more center for our rotation. My WISH list goes in this order:

Dalembert
Curry
Hutner = Brown
Gadz

lets say we cant get any of them....would you get james?

I forgot about Andersen. I'd go to him first. If I'm left with no other option I go with James.

I'd say Kwame, Pau, or Big Z because those are all guys Isiah has tried to get before but now actually may have the right assets to get.

the right assets being 1st round draft picks for next year, and expiring deals. i cant see isiah trading any of our young guys(besides sweetney) or any of his picks from yesterdays draft.

I like Chris Andersen the best.

Per-40 minutes, here is Andersen, Kwame, Stephen Hunter, and Gadzuric.

Chris Andersen (6'10", 230, turns 27 a week from Friday) per 40 minutes: 16 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks

Kwame Brown (6'11", 240, turned 23 in March) per 40 minutes: 16 points, 10 rebounds, 0.5 blocks

Stephen Hunter (7', 240, turns 24 on Halloween) per 40 minutes: 13 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks

Dan Gadzuric (6'11", 240, turned 27 in February) per 40 minutes: 14 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks

To me, either Gadzuric, Hunter, or Andersen is a perfect fit. All can run, all of them block shots, and all of them (especially Gadzuric and Andersen can rebound).

I would totally stay away from Kwame Brown. He's a bum, if we haven't learned anything already from Vin Baker or Tim Thomas.

Gadzuric, Hunter, or Andersen, and the Knicks have themselves a team. Combine either of those with Frye, JYD, Malik, and Sweetney, and you have the semblance of a frontline.

I've never been a big Curry guy.

At that size, you've got to pull down some rebounds. Frye at Arizona played in a guard oriented offense, and with his outside game, stood on the pereimeter a lot.

Curry is a bull, and plays down low. There is no reason he shouldn't pull down 10 boards a game at 6'11", 285.

Last year he averaged 5 a game in 30 minutes of work, that's pretty pathetic.

Curry plays a post up game. No one currently on the Knicks does except Sweetney who is 6'8". He also occupies space with his size. He can be taught to keep his nose under the glass.

James is who we need, because of his size....Frye will give up way too much size, therefore we need another big to help him out..

Q has a nice post game and from what I've heard Frye does too
