Von Wafer=John Starks redux

LOL, John starks couldn't shoot it like that..........

Von Wafer is a serious athlete. Ever see him play in college? He was more of a high flyer than a chucker. Seriosuly though--if he learns how to play the game part--as in assists rebounds defense-you have a tremendous 6-5 shooting guard prospect. I tell you what i would do

Id sign him and Nichols to 3 years contracts for 2mm $ each[team option year 3] tonight
and work on removing Jerome James[just cut him] and use Jones and Dickau as ending contracts to find me future---2009-2010 draft picks.
RIP Crushalot😞

I've said it a million times already but I have to say it again....

If Nichols does not make this team Isiah needs to be fired. I don't care how you get him on the team but you do it, his shooting stroke is absolutely water. We have a definite need for a shooter and we can not let Nichols go by.

We traded a second round pick for Nichols. He is making the team or being sent to Europe for a year until the Knicks can clear a roster spot. IT is not going to simply cut him.

That's fine but he should be on the team THIS year, theres just no way he shouldn't be.

Even if he is on the roster, it is doubtful he gets any run other than spot minutes here or there. As long as guys like Q, Crawford, Jeffries, and Balkman are healthy, there just is not going to be any time for Nichols to play this year.

Summer League is too short. The next 2 and a half months there isn't going to be much to talk about. Training camp starts in October.

I agree. I think the summer league and the NBDL should be combined so we have something to really watch in the offseason. Teams could see what kind of prospects they want from their respective teams and such.

I'd rather him be on the Knicks roster and practicing with the team and getting the occasional burn.

Wow. Balkman wasn't named to the all-tournament team. Hmm... I wonder who voted - seems like they took the top 10 scorers and that was that. Come on, did Durant's team even win a game?

nichols would be one of the 3 best shooters on the knicks next yr (other than Q and nate). i could see him getting significant minutes in the 15-20 games Q is gonna miss this yr w/ back problems.

You gotta love these 3 stat lines. 5 Assists for Balkman, that's nice for him. 


                    fg    3   ft  reb     ast f  s to  b  pts
D.Nichols   G 21:51 9-16 2-5 3-4  0 4 4   3   4  0  1  0  23 
W.Chandler  F 24:00 6-14 0-1 3-3  4 6 10  1   3  0  1  3  15 
R.Balkman   F 22:52 3-8  0-0 3-4  3 4 7   5   1  1  1  1  9
