No, you would not.

Play Lin.

You are one of those people that read a book of material and form an opinion based on the way they used a semi colon midway through the book.

In other words I'm wasting words

Dantonis offense is a philosophy....guys are supposed to rotate to spots and play their game. The Knicks don't run alot of plays every time down the floor. This is why Shumpert is excelling...he's just playing basketball. The other guys are stuck trying to fit in and not talented or brazen enough to just play.

I believe Baron will settle things down...he will add 15/7 easy and guys will fall into the roles they need.

Landry needs to come off the bench as a small fwd. I like walker as the goonie off the bench at the 2. Lin needs to get burn in real time too. Get him 15 mins at least behind dand sometimes next to TD.

Landry played confidently and well last year. He was the second best rookie in the league for more than half of his first season. Landry's game falling a level was directly related to Melo's emergence in a Knick's uniform. Melo gets a pass and looks to see if he can score mainly. (Unfortunately the ball also currently seems to stop in Amare's hands much more than it did last year).

If you are convinced that the crappy way the Knicks are running the offense so far this year will continue throughout the year, I guess I can't argue with your desire to get rid of Landry Fields. But if Melo wants to win very badly, and hopefully our slow start helps persuade him eventually to become a more unselfish passer, then Landry's value to the Knicks will increase dramatically. You will notice a direct relationship between unselfish passing and a highly productive Landry Fields. Bottom line, trading Landry before we see what changes occur to the Knicks offense once Baron Davis starts playing the point would be premature and even foolish imo.

Is winning basketball about making shy players happy? Is winning basketball about having the 3rd best scorer in the league pass to the leagues current worst shooting guard in the league?

I agree we gotta wait for Baron....but the Knicks shouldn't wait to put Landry on the bench. Nobody should be hand held through this. I can go in about Amare pulling his David lee impersonation on defense too but were talking about Landry. Dude needs to be benched asap with walker and Lin getting the minutes off t he bench at guard.

Landry needs to be put in Shawne Williams old roll.

Anyone have a tangable solution to the tangable problem?

"FU LANDO" is great, but what is the solution?

Trade him for lateral value? What is that anyway?

So what is his replacement? Some mystical being that is bonafide improvement?

"Start Shump"!

Shump is an athletic nice young player. He is out of control, erratic, and currently not passing worth a dam.

"Start Shump"......What? Until his warts start to show? Then trade him?

Shump is a high energy player in a slow system right now. I think he does a good job bringing energy to the second unit.

Lets bring him along, solidify his minutes in the rotation.

Anyone notice how JOrts can't jump for a rebound or hit a shot unless its a 3?

NIce 7 minute player.

What if Baron never gets healthy?

Get Lin burn? Is he the answer? How do we know?

"Better than what is happening"! Maybe, or could be worse.

"at least we tried"! Could be.

"Fire MDA"! Ok, Woodson is then the guy to do what?

"hire Jax"! We know he wants to come back to coaching? We know he likes our roster?

"anything better than MDA! no more exuses"! True, no more excuses, but there are reasons.

You got your attention.... Still didn't say anything to contribute. But you say nobody else is?

Im not the one blogging for attention.

Or am I?

Landry is playing badly because he is a team player trying to contribute the way MDA taught him along side a couple of selfish scorers who are not passing the ball around. The fact that Landry didn't cause the problem is sad. The right solution to Landry's problem is for Melo to stop dominating the ball and begin sharing it much more. When Melo is having a bad day, why is he allowed to keep shooting.

It begins to look to me that MDA is afraid of correcting the way Melo is currently playing? Anyone else get that idea also?
