By the way Woodson just said on ESPN radio. No trades for what its worth

Translation....more chances for teams to get better than us

This. Mikey Woodson should stop playing GM and let the big boys handle trades. Not only does his refusal to consider trades limit our chances of improving a tired roster, it will also make him look like an unreliable, clown of a coach if he is proven wrong. Overall just a stupid thing to say, yet he keeps going.

If they can execute trades for Reddick and Oneal for a reasonable sum---or something close to this ilk--we should go for it. I cant imagine Mike Woodson would not want to improve the team--hes been struggling with lineups himself. If you have to think about your line up for possible massive changes at the ASB--then you must be smart enough to know you might now have the full load to go all the way. Weve been a 500 team for a long period of time--weve got some foundational pieces but not the whole boat to make it go. This is close to an all in--if we can improve---I would have to think wed try.

Starting 5:
C: Tyson Chandler.
PF: Amar'e Stoudemire.
SF: Carmelo Anthony.
2G: Iman Shumpert.
PG: Raymond Felton.

Backup 5:
C: Marcus Camby.
PF: Rasheed Wallace.
SF: Steve Novak.
2G: J.R Smith.
PG: Jason Kidd.

With Pablo Prigioni, Ronnie Brewer and Kurt Thomas as 11th, 12th and 13th men off the bench.

I'd like to keep the minutes on guys such as Kidd, Wallace, Camby and Thomas pretty low heading into postseason play. Which means backups such as Pablo Prigioni, J.R Smith, Steve Novak and Ronnie Brewer need to step up. But come the postseason, I hope we're able to unleash veterans such as Kidd, Rasheed, Kurt and Camby whenever needed.

I like that, only I put Prigioni in front of Kidd and play Jason only when needed.

Yep in other words exactly the rotation I've been suggesting for months in the original post

Not only is your post devoid of facts, your resentment of his able leadership screams that you evaluate him for much more than his excellent record as Knicks head coach.

He is th fastest coach to 50 wins in the history of the franchise, yet you paint him as an ignorant power grabber.

Really?

Im not impress by woodson reaching 50 wins with the roster he had to work with.

Its impressive in terms of reaching 50wins with guys in and out of the lineup with Injuries. The problems with this team go deeper than Mike Woodson. It is a flawed team much like the Knicks teams of the past dozen years. I will only turn on Woodson if he keeps trotting out this pathetic starting 5 after Sheed and Camby returns or a trade is made. I'm willing to wait a week or 2 to see the team at full strength before calling for his head.

Once the playoffs come if we see more of the same with Melo trying to single handedly win games leading to another 1st round sweep then I will call for a complete blow up of the team. Roster and coach and hope Dolan is forced to go to alcohol rehab

I've been calling for it for awhile now. Why Kurt isn't starting at the 4 is beyond me. His defense is still there, he has found his jumper which, was missing early in the season. He can defend, produce buckets and allow Melo to suffer less wear and tear. When I saw Melo starting at the 4 against the Clips, I immediately counted that game as a loss.

Who's words are these?
