Whoever said curry should be fed on the move first is correct.
That be me. It should be obvious to everyone including Isiah. Curry is not a natural post-up player.
Curry can kill skinny centers and slow centers in the post, but he has a lot of trouble against good position-defense-playing centers. If he is working well in the post, great. If not try something different. Why force something that isn't going to happen? Let Curry get the ball when his man has to double off on Randolph or Marbury. A dunk is a dunk!
A few of those plays and Curry's man won't be able to come over, and Randolph will operate very well.

The right choice at small forward is David Lee, I've been saying this since 1 month in to his rookie season, December 2005.
Yes, he will get lit up by faster small forwards. But they have to guard him too. And Lee will own any small forward in the league on the boards except Marion. He can post most small forwards and they will probably rack up fouls trying to hold him on the glass.
David Lee can't guard anyone man-to-man, but he seems to be improving at team defense, looking for steals, coming over to bother shots by guards, trying to get deflections.
The Knicks have been better with Lee starting, this is historically shown for 2 years now.

I think the Knicks do have to get Artest, and I would part with Lee to get him. He's got the offense, the defense, and he brings toughness.
Of course, Artest does not seem to be right in his mind. If I were Isiah, I would stand next to Artest and watch him to make sure he takes his Meds...All-Star!
