I hope this doesn't happen Doleac is a terrible player who only average 4.6 point and 4 rebounds in 16 per game. He was on Cleveland folks, he couldn't get good numbers there what makes you think he will get good numbers in NY. This guy is a super scrub and isn't the answer to the Knicks need. He isn't even a shot blocker.

He is the samething as Knight why not just start Knight instead of wasting money and make a move just to make a move. Instead of signing a good decent big man they have been sign sorry player from cleveland, the last one was a bust Spoon and the Knicks are stuck with him because nobody wants to take on a washed up undersized PF who makes 4+ million. Say no to Doleac.

Tthey are not the same. What at are you talking about??? Very poor analysis!! Knight weighs like 220 but Doleac is 262pds. Knight can't even execute a pick -n-roll but doleac has been doing it since the days at University of utah. At least Doleac makes consistent jump shots. Knight only gets himself in foul woes. He tends to get 4 fouls within minutes. I prefer Doleac over Knight any day based on his fundamentals.

My point is that the Knicks are stuck with a player that make 4 mill a year why add a player like Doleac he is just a 4 point 4 rebounds player that plays on the perimeter. I'm not going to go crazy. Besides there aren't any good centers out there in the NBA that are available they want Doleac then take him he isn't any better than what is out there anyway.

I do think the Knicks should concentrate on getting a high quality PG. That can lead the team not rely on old Charlie and backup Eisley and Rookie Williams. I would love for the Knicks just get a filler player at center and get NVE. That would give the Knicks four scoring options on the floor. NVE is good for 8 assists a game too. The KNicks need to get busy more with the point than with the center position because you can pretty much put any 6'11-7' space eater all he has to do is take up space, rebound and set picks and try to play decent defense.

I agree that the knicks should be concentrating on a legit PG but who?? If the knicks wanna do it then it's on the table for them regarding Nick V. exel. Just know giving up ward and kurt t. is dangerous for the knicks cause they'll be even smaller. If they want to do that trade, they first must acquire two big guys where Kurt t. is expendable. FOr now, Layden is waiting for the opportunity to present itself.
The Future. GO KNICKS!

Exactly. I think he’s holding off on the Thomas, Ward for Van Exel trade because it’s not going anywhere. It will always be there (for the foreseeable future). If he gets two decent centers, then he can make the Van Exel trade.

Terrible defender? You gotta catch any of the games in the second half of the season. Kurt did foul a lot during the first half of the season, but the guy did hold his own against centers in the second half.

And what do you mean by traditional centers? Who are they? Shaq, Robinson, Candi? Anyone else?

Thomas is a good post defender.
Yes. I say all the games this pass season. Yes, he stopped fouling out in the second half of the season. But defense is about stopping the other guy from scoring. Kurt has very, very slow feet. Centers with good foot-work, and PF with speed, destroy him. Look at the box scores from the games when had to guard a good PF, or decent center. He got killed.

It's off topic, but apparently the Clippers and Cavs have a deal close to completed involving Miles and Miller. The reports say a third team is involved. According to some of your theories that team could easily be the Knicks seeing how the Knicks have not been mentioned in the deal and it's not one of those highly anticipated rumors from NyPost, Dailynews, etc...Thoughts?
