he's just just the polar opposite of nate, in terms of displaying emotion.

I do not want to bring ghosts out there but Nate looks more and more like... Steph.
Not like personality but with his game.
I am not so sure that MDA can have him in his system when he will settle it down in NY.
From one site Nate can run and gun better that anybody and play motion defense as Mike wants.
But I do not believe he will be able to move the ball on offense the way coach wants.
But as Mike sad yesterday on the press conference after the game (it was about Pistons outrebounded us by 20+) you must to give out something to get other things going.
Will Nate be this something to give up or Mike will change his system to accommodate Nate the best possible way? Only time will tell.
Same can be said about Lee in Mike’s system.
Coach is still evaluating and that why this 2 are still there.

What is that sound stirring in the rafters? Starbury's ghost!

I kid, and agree. Nate has got the Steph in his Prime swagger going, barreling into the paint, breaking down defense. But did Steph have an outside shot like Nate does?

I like loyalty and would love a Knicks team with both Nate & Lee be around for the next couple of years. People keep saying that this isn't a championship team. HOW ABOUT A SOLID 6th SEED? I'm *dying* for at least that. I like what it would say about the direction of the organization if we put some faith into our draft picks. if we're going to do it for Gallo, let's do it for Nate & D. Lee.

Hey, if we can draft Tyreke Evans to fix the mismatches on defense and find a way to completely flip the Layden script and get Camby back, then we might be able to play Nate 40 minutes a night and win most of our games.

Fitting a roster together that's cohesive is a new concept for the Knicks, so maybe they're still getting it.

Hughes isn't a terrible pairing in the backcourt with Nate, but we still need to fix our front court to allow those two to press. If Nate can't press, then he's going to be a problem for your defense.

I've never seen this Samb kid, but I'd like to give him a shot.

Samb - Al - Chandler - Hughes - Nate would be interesting.

For those who want to keep him, we'd better give him some kind of PG tryout in the last 15 or so games to see if he can do it. He's got the ability, but can he ever trust his team enough to really do it?

We can't keep them both. I know that for sure now after seeing them in about 250 games. Having Nate and Lee on the floor at the same time is not a winning formula for extended minutes. They create multiple mismatches on the floor that is almost impossible to make up for with your other players.
