Yeah man brighton beach us perfect. That would be an ideal situation.

As far as shooting, the knicks need ak-47 to shoot or try to score. He will get plenty of shots between zach and marbs inside and marbs and craw outside. He cuts well and works hard on both sides.

I like the dude in the community top. I saw him a few times reading books with kids and he was really annimated and comfortable interacting with them. He just learned English and he was actually reading to them.

Dude isn't a good 3pt shooter but neither us Jared. Thing is I'm a lot more afraid of ak shooting than Jared.

Its worth a try you know? Jared is known as a hard working team player. Kind of a Sloan type player. Deron Williams us a heavy ball handler and Jared is best when fed on the move. Dickau and Jones could even make the team.

I think this should be seriously looked at on both sides.

No thanks. Too much baggage, and the salary is ridiculous. Also what does he bring that Balkman is incapable of, especially in relation to salary and future potential. Zeke has made too many of these kind of bail out moves. Let this fading star rot in Utah where he belongs.

Quinten and AK are reduntant.

AK in a 3 for one would be great for the team. Problem is we are getting to deep on the roster.

Are the Knicks so good that they can say they are too deep or in danger of getting too much depth? I thought the Knicks sucked?

I believe in the crew the Knicks currently have but getting a shotblocker is something that we all feel the knicks need. Getting a shot blocker at the 3 spot is wicked with Curry and Zach in the mix at the 4-5......Balkman off the bench would be fine.....that would just be another defensive, rebounding monster off the bench. Q is coming off back surgery so he shouldn't be asked to play 35 mins at any position.

Ak doesn't want to play for Utah anymore and Deron Williams totally ****ted on him already so he is definately available.

The name of the game is decreasing the roster and applying an impact player in the mix. AK brings that stat we are missing.

Knicks need a shooter as well.....maybe the "extra depth" could produce a shooter in a trade during the season? why not?

AK really impressed me with his shot blocking in the playoffs. I thought maybe he wasn't a threat shooting, but on D, he was a real pain. It's always a tough thing to look to add a guy like him. He makes so much money and he's had some real personal issues in Utah. You could just chalk it up to being unhappy. A change of scene may just be all he needs to be re-energized. If we can move several guys that we don't need to get him it may be a good move for us. We obviously need more D.

hey he's a seriously good player who happened to have a very ****ed up year. but just as a reminder, look at the 3 years he had in a row before this one.

if we ever had a shot to get him for jeffries, jones and dickau how could we possibly turn that down?

Cosign. I really believe that Balkman is going to be a special player. The jumpshot is the only thing keeping him from being a star because I am confident we are going to see an even more dominating performance on defense this year. The guy is a lock down defender. I also like Chandler and Nichols at the SF spot. We have a ton of guys in the pipeline to be our future SF. Why add an overpaid veteran with a potential bad attitude and no work ethic.
