tyrus thomas i am extremely unimpressed with. but at 6M i could see it possibly being worth a shot. gotta wonder though how much mda would be interested in playing him.

The voice of reason. I have yet to see TT play as good as his "athletic" reputation would suggest.

I wasn't as impressed as others were about Tyrus when he was with LSU.

why do you post this? Is GS down on him? They just resigned him... if that deal had a fart's chance in a wind how do you not do that? stick the long athletic mobile guy next to Lee and add some perimeter guys and your rolling. Hell... I might even take Maggette's contract back (I hate him) if I could get a pick or something back. But straight up? Why would GS do that?

they're extremely down on him. nellie didn't play him at all this year, even when he was healthy. nellie said repeatedly it looked like he'd lost all desire and gave him no minutes. it'd be a gamble and i'd want to see him healthy, but i think biedrins can be had.

it offers them the chance to get out from under his deal for eddy's expiring.

you could expand the deal to be Biedrins + CJ Watson for Eddy Curry + Wilson Chandler. gives the Warriors a SF and an escape from the Biedrins commitment which they clearly no longer want. I bet Nellie wants to play Turiaf and Anthony Randolph as his bigs next year.

When I hear "Lose all desire" I instantly think of Eddie Curry, and that's a gigantic red flag waving in front of my face.

yeah, but don nelson said it and he is absolutely insane, as well as probably "allanfan-ed" before every game. no offense.

Brendan Haywood does not suck - 10/10/2 and 7'0" 260 and 30 years old.

No to Brad Ma Ma Miller.

Agree on Tyrus Thomas and Tyson Chandler. I like Haywood but not sure if he is a god fit in NY since he is not athletic enough.

Trying to find a hybrid center/guard that D'Antoni will play or an ultra quick thin atheletic guy would not be tops on my list as GM because I don't know if the coach will play him anyway. I think Walsh should resign Barron and look for a guy he could steal or take a chance on like Yi. I don't know Dalembert's contract situation but I think Philly would move him and he might be the right fit. I think when talking about getting a center you have to remember that D'Antoni has been quoted as saying that they slow the game down too much. Brad Lohaus is not available.

It's not C's in general slow the game down. It's C's with a lack of skills and BB IQ. You don't see the good teams being slowed down by having a good C. The C doesn't have to be the 1st guy down the court but if he can beat his man down it gives you an advantage. That's more to the point.

Now it is true that MDA wants to play fast. REAL FAST. So fast that other teams can't keep up. You can't do that with a big slow plodding guy. That means you have to play slower and in the half court and that means you are giving the other team a chance to set it's D and play to it's strengths. Still MDA has been able to play fast with a big slow C as he did with Shaq. It's just his preference from a purity standpoint to play with a more athletic C/PF that can handle the pace. I'd LOVE to have a kid like Al Horford! That kid would be perfect for this team. He's rugged and still can get up and down. What ever happened with Marreese Speights? I always thought he had a ton of ability and upside. Wonder if he's available?

Curry trade turned out to be Noah and Aldridge? Not a bad front line if you toss in Lee as the 3rd big.

At this point, we may need to start looking at players that are upincoming, like when Boozer and Joe J left to go to the current squads..niether had ever been an all star, and where definitely not max guys. I thought when we got Curry and JC, we had pick up some soon to be all stars like the 2 players i mention. It really seem as if they were primed to do big things.

I don't think the knicks should focus on nothing more then finding a lagit star PG, then go from there.
