we need a freakin' shotblocker for the 10,987,765th time.

Like I said who should we target as a guy we need to get?

The duhon signing and Gallo could be very telling moves. Donnie appears to be setting up 2010. The small fwd spot and point guard spot seem to have taken shape. Donnie said he was gonna get a shot blocker as he said he would get a point guard.....

Again, so who could he be targeting. Keep in mind that the dude he selects would have to be a factor in the success of the team in 2010.

Etan would be nice. But how would we do that? He's a little old too though. Stop gap player? I love the man and the player so I'm down.

I dunno if you notice but I'm just trying to force a convo about moving forward. If you look @ the board, there is nothing but bickering about duhon and gallo.

i hear ya bro... i don't get what all the bickering is about... we drafted a kid w/some talent & skill & it's a wait & see before we can judge him... we signed a role player at role player dollars on a short term contract that keeps our cap situation intact... everyone is so eager to be proven right in the end that they gotta get their cases across... it's more of a game than anything else.

as for Etan, i would think Malik's expiring for him could do the trick... that won't hurt our cap situation either.

I always wanted this guy on the Knicks....as a power fwd though. At any rate, didn't he have heart surgery? Something crazy like that I think.

yeah, i heard about that... not sure what his status is for next season but we need a badass enforcer type on this team, that's all i know... i really wish D Lee would grow some balls for a change & be a Bill Laimbeer/Kevin McHale type player (in terms of personality & demeanor guys, relax)... Balkman could use a pair himself... looked to me like he was starting to grow a pair but last season i didn't see much ballsy play by any of these guys... i'm hoping a new team oriented approach will instill some of that type of fight & unity on this team... the only guy around here w/any balls is Nate.

Soft......Knicks are soft. Teams come in and just embarrass the Knicks and the only one pissed was Isiah.

David Lee gets a lot of props around town but he has got to be the softest rebounder ever. He doesn't really have a physical presence inside. He just can get to rebounds. He's a little more than that and he is a good player, but he is definately soft.

Like tms said basically the whole damn team is soft. Craw at least has that look of urgency and is trying his best. Nate, and Lee are the same......but soft, soft, soft is what we are man. It sucks.

How can we get guys that are willing to mix it up and scrap? Part of playing hard is not just effort. Its about taking it a little personal and forcing your will on the opposition.

DLEE soft?

That deserves the dumbas$ award for the night.

Yeah all he does is rebound, and dunk in traffic with either hand, and beat his man down the court.

for all of Isiah's faults (& he had plenty) the one thing i liked about him was that he was trying to preach these guys to be tough & not take defeats lying down... i think there are guys on this team that can be tough & have balls, just that Isiah completely lost the faith of the team last year & they stopped listening to anything he had to say.

i can see guys like Nate, Q Rich, Balk, Mardy & even Zach being tough as soon as they start playing & acting like a unified team & caring for each other instead of putting all their own self interests & playing time concerns above everything else... Jamal's toughness comes in the form of not being afraid to take big shots in big situations, i agree... he's not a guy that's gonna get in your face & puff out his chest, but if you score on him he's gonna put one back down on you on the other end... D Lee is too much of a nice guy... i love the guy to death but he needs to stop patting guys on the butt & start screaming in their face when he throws down a dunk on em... i hope Gallo brings some of that type of intensity to this team in the coming years.

i also really hope getting Marbury the fug away from this team will help to facilitate some sense of team unity for a change... not having that distraction around of Marbury & Isiah should be a good start to turning the page on getting back to respectability.

there are more than 1 kind of toughness, that much i'll agree with... D Lee isn't soft in terms of being unwilling to fight for rebounds & make hustle plays, we're talking more about his general "nice guy" persona.

& i love how you feel it's OK to throw insults anytime you disagree w/someone else's opinions... u did the same thing in the Larry Bird thread... at least your name isn't isles i guess.

David Lee is a ***** defender. Bottom line. He's just as bad if not worse than Curry. That makes him soft. He refuses to mix it up, and bang guys. Put bodies on the floor. Grab, pull or elbow anybody. He doesn't instil his will on anyone. Yeah he plays hard and he hustles. He genuinely cares about winning and the team, but he doesn't do the intangible things that his position calls for. If he did the Knicks wouldn't be trying to trade him and he would have an extention already. Zach woulda been gone or not even be here.

You can play hard and still be soft.

I think Q Rich is soft and a poser. He talks big but never really backs it up. He is ready to tell guys like Curry that they need to lose weight but shows up to camp with a bigger gut than the previous season. He talks about team chemistry but goes behind his teammates back to trash them. IMHO, that guy should be one of the first to hit the exit door. D Lee is ok, I think he is a primadonna and let some of his hype go to his head but I wouldn't label him as soft, just a subpar defender.
