Honestly, I didn't completely hate him last year but when you're only legitimate skill seems to be drawing charges I think you're probably expendable

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

That being considered, we have an older team now but a much better defensive team. My quick reaction is that Grunwald is doing an exceptional job.

if we match Lin, we don't have any more active roster spots, 2 more inactive.

Well we could still cut crazy eyes but its 99 reunion, might as well put in HOUSTON and SPREE

Crazy Eyes could be on inactive list actually....

Chandler
Stat
Melo
JR
Lin

Kidd
Camby
Novak
Felton
Pablo
White
Thomas
Shump

I think thats about what we'd need. Ideally we'd like to have more depth at the 2, but we have guys that can play there until Shump is back.

Melo / Novak
Amar'e / Kurt
Tyson / Camby

Love that 10 guy rotation with Shump taking his time.

media is so stupid. They actually think we are replacing Lin with Felton. I admit we all freaked out at first but why does the media take everything at face value. Aren't they the professionals.

Well credit to Hahn who knows what really goes on with the Knicks better than anyone. He helped me calm down when he said the Knicks might roll with Lin, Kidd & Felton

I was in favor of adding another SG who can shoot but PGs are hard to come by especially when one gets injured. It can derail yout whole season. Now we have 3 pgs who can start and lead a team. Felton isn't the best fit for Woodson but he is a vet and works well with Amare. Will be a healthy competition to see who starts at PG.


One of those 3 will figure out how to get both Melo & Amare going!

I don't think they're keeping Lin! I think this is a sign that they are going to let Lin go and Start Kidd with Felton/Pablo off the bench!!!

Allan Houston is assistant GM. Larry Johnson is somethign something knicks employee. Camby is back. Kurt is back.

Can we trade Amar'e for Spree?

Dont tempt me.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

matching and trading him just to spite HOUSTON is what I think they should do.

Yea I would go with that same rotation but have the ball in Kidd's hands late in games and Lin as a scorer. Obviously Kidd can't handle playing pg for 48mins anymore

Is it crazy to think that Lin will be traded in a package for Dwight Howard at the deadline? Orlando takes a guy who can draw fans, gets cap space and young assets.

I honestly think this means we're not matching Lin. I really hope I'm wrong, but this whole Lin situation is odd- The sudden bump in the offer, then us still not receiving the offer sheet. If the plan was Felton, Kidd and Lin, then why also sign that other 35 year old PG? Maybe Lin has said he doesn't want back.

Also, never thought I'd say this but... It's a shame to see JJ go! He was great for team chemistry and loved being a Knick- thought he'd be back for sure.

I like Felton and Kurt, but its a shame if it turns out it was for Lin and JJ.
