Rookie - offering Boateng as a reasonable, low risk option is not about playing time or the rotation.

Boateng provides low cost insurance in the event Turiaf goes brittle. A healthy third center would be a good thing.

not disagreeing that we could use a 3rd center for insurance...just hoping we can do better. We have approx. 14.5M in expiring baggage wearing suits in Az and curry...and some experience collecting dust in mason....i would hope you could 'rent' some depth with that after the Melo drama plays out

The Knicks are managing just fine without LaLa seated courtside.

Shawne Williams is slowly adding new features to his game as he gains confidence. His on court demeanor is New York all the way. Tough on defense and does not back down when challenged. His response to the Artest choke was perfect and under control.

Is there anything that Landry Fields cannot do?

Ronny Turiaf may have hidden his injured leg better than some reporters with courtside seats and all access passes were willing to investigate

Think about it.

It's not hype that DW is gonna hold his hand until Melo has either been traded or remains in Denver...there's nothing to be bored with regarding melo...it will happen 'WHEN' it happens. But i guess one man's patience is another man's boring

"It's not hype that DW is gonna hold his hand until Melo has either been traded or remains in Denver"

Rookie - your passage is confusing. The "hype" speaks to the constant speculation over Melo since August. With regard to Donnnie Walsh "holding his hand" - does that mean NOT parting with ANY rotation players or starters? Or is Donnie "holding his hand" ie. not making a move?

So long as the Knicks are moving the ball effectively and talking on defense, Carmelo Anthony is simply a diversion in the same way Mitch Lawrence decides to dredge up Deron Williams rumors. Boring is trade rumors from un-named "sources" who heard Carmelo was caught wearing a Kninks t-shirt. Boring is reading into an intercepted text message.

Patience is waiting for The Mayor.

Patience is Danilo Gallinari at 26.

Patience is Landry Fields in his third NBA season.

Patience is the best available Lithuanian big man in the 2010 draft.

it's great to appreciate what we've got. but it shouldn’t preclude being open and honest about where our limitations are and how they could be upgraded. remember, barnett, monroe, debusschere, lucas all came from a willingness to upgrade an already talented team to make it that much more talented.

Remember when Louis Armstrong moved to New York from Chicago?

Donnie suprised us all.

Fans run on emotion. This is Donnies business.
