btw last nite nate kinda carried the celtics on his back and really was the spark off the bench, and a great sub when rondo was hurt. where is the knicks spark off the bench? we have players i really want mda to start using them. tbh we could of used nate off the bench subbing for felton but we let him go.

AR can't handle KG getting 3/4 rebounds before put back.

it is a slightly fairer fight ar/kg than wil/kg. you almost gifting the rebounds to kg putting someone small in front of him.

wilson has 30-40 of muscle on AR at this point. AR is a string bean - he needs to bulk up.

wilson is doing an admirable job.

getting camby would be a godsend.

this is all stuff that won't shake out for two months as the Melo-drama plays out. once Melo is shipped, the Knicks will either have Melo and need to wait until the summer to find a big... or if Melo goes somewhere else, i would make a serious play for Camby and Rudy Fernandez.

yes but putting wil against kg is not cute. it may seem good cause wil doesnt complain and is mr-blue-collar-give-all. but its not a winning situation. i would rather just rotate bigs on kg and aggravate the hell out of him that way. including ar in that rotation.

wil could be (easily) in line for sixman of the season honors, but instead he is put in a situation he may relish but doesnt beat the celtics.

Free Agent big men who could help the Knicks:

Marcus Camby
Tyson Chandler
Nene (has player option for next season)
Kenyon Martin
DeAndre Jordan (playing well now with Kaman out, check his past game)
Yao Ming (yuck but still a FA)
Fishlips (yuck also but still a FA)
Jeff Foster
Kris Humphries

Possible trade targets:

Birdman (maybe you add him to a Melo trade for instance)
Ben Wallace
Okafor (contract kinda sucks)
You can also scour for big men in Europe, South America, Asia, D League or use draft picks (unless we trade them all away for Melo as some have suggested) to get a big man.

Question for doubters:

Do you believe we need a big who can defend/rebound?

If you do..obviously it's not easy. Does that mean you just throw your hands up and say screw it?

Hopefully Donnie Walsh gets paid millions because he won't do that and he'll get creative: Free Agency. Trades. International. Draft.

If you don't think we need a big man, then I dunno what to say.

Get a pass first back up PG ( Please please please get Rubio) or Mayo

Then I say take me to War

AR Walker TD Buki Curry Mason Picks and cash and get Camby and Rubio

I prefer camby of all those players. Nene would be nice if we can trade for him.

Camby signed through 2011-2012, not sure how he made God's list.

I like Nene since draft day, if we can trade for him instead of melo that is a nice option to protect STAT lack of defense.

Is Jerome Jordan ready yet?

Jerome Jordan--the guy shot like 75% from the field in all of his games combined. My gosh he is 7-1 250 why not bring him back and start him with 4-5 games in the D league with 40 a night and see where we are at.

I can't see the next JJ to be athletic enough to fit this system but he got size.

VDesai wrote:Camby would be great. Its his rebounding and defensive presence we need. I asked on another thread- what about Curry, Randolph and Walker for Camby, Fernandez and Mills? Saves Portland about $9-$10 mil next year and gives them a good prospect. Gives us a player we need (Camby), a player we cove (Rudy) and a player who may be able to spot Felton and fit this system (Mills).

Its tough for us if you think Randolph long term eventually is what Marcus Camby has been. But I think Camby is still playing a pretty high level and would make a solid impact over the next 2 seasons.

IMO Camby, even @ his age, would fit this system perfectly. He can be a defensive presence inside, grab boards and can shoot a decent J. We will need a player like him in order to get through some of the better teams. Right now, we allow more points than any team in the NBA and that has to stop if this team is going to compete against the elite of the NBA.

GodSaveTheKnicks wrote:any1 hear that Pryzbilla Rumour from Newsday?

I've been told that the Knicks have looked into the availability of Joel Przybilla as the Trail Blazers appear ready to break up that injury-riddled team. The dream would be to land Marcus Camby for a decent price, but let's not get carried away.

think it's Alan Hahn who wrote that. take whatever you will from that.

Pryz is a rugged rebounder and pretty strong shotblocker and defender. Not the most fleet of foot guy and is really bad offensively, but that would be an interesting addition.

The great thing about Turiaf is that even though he's not a good scorer, he's a well versed offensive player that passes the ball well out of the high post.
