guard that team. also, awesome defensively.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but would it be so bad if the team next year was:

PG - Felton
SG - Chandler
SF - Gay
PF - Gallo
C - Lee

?

Then in 2011 sign Chris Paul?

is CP available in 2011? I just tried to verify that and came up with 2012.

There's a chance I'm misinformed... I thought that's when he was available

and if he isn't, I wouldn't be opposed to adding pieces now for a future stud PG

Mda felt like duhon was over work last season and felt that nate and douglas was good enough to reserve some of duhons minutes..w. ell I think the over estimated this dude big time, and although jj has been a good scrappy defender, and the knicks switch on every play defensively, duhon usually gets matched up withe opposing fwd or center.

The one thing that has been a bit of suprise lately is when that happens they usually swarm the paint and some how someone either pokes the ball out, or force a bad pass resulting in a T O. But when you have athletic fwds like kd, its a nightmare match up.

Not 100% sold on this argument IF there is an assumption that LeBron is coming. Big f'ing IF though. Imagine LeBron starting the offense at the top of the key with the likes of Lee.

Also, lest we forget, center and/or defense presence in the middle is just as big a peice of a winning team as PG, and the Knicks certainly need that too. I am not sure Lee can hold up that position long term over the next few years.

I'm with you on this one. I'd really like to pair our prize free agent with a big strong pf/c with defensive skills.

With no PG being groomed to replace Duhon, are we doomed to pick him up again as the only PG familiar with the system? When will this madness stop?

I hope not, that would be just horrible.

Nate could've really taking this team by the reins, but he isn't up to the task. TD is probably just too green to handle the task, not to mention that he's not a real PG. We're stuck!

Amazing when you look at the stats in the Win loss column. We may bash this sub par player all day, but we go as far as he takes us.

He plays bad lee follows and the domino effect is in full effect. Lee and gallo is duhons meal ticket and we win when they play well( especially duhon) Al, will, and nate don't necessarily need to be set up, and we don't win much when they play well at all.

The worst thing about duhon, when his shot ain't falling, he can't do sht else right in no other aspect of the game, his confidence and focusness are in collasp mode. He just does not look like he can start in this system well consistanly. Mike essentially Change the style of play to suit duhon for the most part, and he just looks run down at times.

There has to be penetration from your pg in a half court set, he doesn't do it nearly enough, and he's just not athletic in any definition of the word. He should be the best 3pt shooter in the league to compensate for his lack of it..Has anyone even seen duhon dunk before

You are right on the money. I made the same exact point in all the Nate Robinson threads. It isn't Robinson or any other player who affects this team like Duhon. Because he is the point guard, not because he is great or terrible.

The Knicks need a stable point guard, first and foremost.

oohah
