Brown will be coaching the Knicks. There is no doubt about it.

This makes the current team a 40-45 win team.

IT needs to make one more move and that is another ALL-STAR caliber player. That is why he wants Walker. I don't but everyone knows you need at least 2 ALL-STAR level guys to carry to load. NY has Marbs and who else? Q is ok, but no one else is close. Walker would be that guy.

Antoine Walker is not an all star player. If he was, he would be signed already. I think some people dont understand basketball. He's got nice talent, always has, but he's an undiscplined low % player who plays porous defense. We need to be patient and go with what we have for now.

I agree, in a perfect world, Walker is not my guy either, I said that in my post. BUT, as others have since posted, with Brown coming, Walker can be that guy who can make it work. Brown made Rasheed Wallace into a NORMAL player. I think the guy is a magician and will get the most out of his players even Walker. Walker takes some of the scoring load off of Marbury and some of the pressure of Frye. Frye can develop his D first and then his O with walker on board.

Walker is a chucker, plays no D and head case but he has TALENT. there is no doubt that he would be the best PF on the team right away. In addition he is only 29. He is in his "prime"!

If Boston wants to give us Lafrentz too, that would be fine. I would take both of them for Sweets/Rose and Some other baggage.

Walker???? only if it will not cost us too much. If we can get rid of 2 of our PFs in that deal, I would say go for it.

yep, we can dump two PF's for one, I'd be ecstatic.
There has to be a way we can get a S & T done that gives the celts the hard working Rose and the Youthful Sweets.

I think it's a deal worth doing asap.

But no way we take lafraenz.

if we had Walker instead of TT last year we would have won 45 games.

Jefferson is not ready to take hold of Boston. I don't understand why Walker would be available. If it wasn't for him they would wither down the stretch and he was huge during their playoff series despite the lost while Pierce was pretty much a prick. I don't think Walker though is Larry Brownbag type of player. See AI pre 2000-2001 season. Too much work. To be honest neither is Nate Robinson, and Crawford. I think Marbury could be control and is more coachable. Remember Brownbag is always tougher on his point guards than other position. He expects alot out of them.

I think you might be right considering that TT was probably the worst starting SF in the league and Walker would be at least an average starting PF or SF who brings good rebounding and passing

Vin is still on the celts payroll from buyout.

Larry should chill one year, coach, then Lebron.

Larry and NYC are charms to Lebron!

Hmmm... Now THAT would be something to think about...

Here's another... what IF somehow we were able to make that happen this year? Man, oh man!

Was stephan "A" doing his fabricated "rage" thing. I can't stand the guy, all serious and acting like some kinda new fangled "angry rapping columnist" thing!
