This guy deserves to be somewhere

Calderon, buy out and stretch.
AA - make his life miserable so he doesnt re-up.
Gallo\Grant - may get re-inspired - they would be the backups.

I would emphasize defensive, good driver and good shooter and bring in 2 D-League guards, now. 1 PG and 1 SG. Have them start the next game and learn on the fly.

This happens when you have an organization run by forwards (phil and kurt) plus a triangle system that values forwards over guard talent

That just cam't be the answer from a team that is constantly being beat down by every guard tandem in the league. Our situation is past horrible. Tired of seeing these half-assed efforts on defense. And don't forget,these efforts were witnessed by DFish for over a year. At least Rambis ispaying lipservice to our defensive lapses.

All 3 players would instantly become our best back court players. I know if we could we would sign them all

Just prefer his game more and feel like he has the most staying power of the 3. Would love McCallum and Wroten. No reason not to cut Vujacic or Amundson to give Wroten a look. Should be as automatic as filling the 15th spot with a promising young player. Two moves that should be made in unison. McCallum/Wroten would make these last 20 games very exciting to watch.

i agree. im a big fan of ray...wroten not so much but hes intruiging...im not sure whats happening now

I think Mccullom, Frazier or Wroten would immediately show their talent in practice against our guys. I can't see any of our guys "pushing around" these 3. Plus Rambis wants defense and all 3 guys have the ability to bring it defensively.

Christian Wood is a nice name too. I just think the forwards are locked up. Nobody is going to come off the street and take minutes from our forwards. That's something for summer league and training camp

Agreed. I like Wood too but he'll be there when the time comes like you said--SL, training camp etc..Take the time to audition a couple of promising young guards right now. Double down and bring in not 1 but two of these guys--I like McCallum and Wroten. Wroten's growing on me big-time. He's only 22--big guard with a lot of skills and versatility. With repetition, I think he will become a passable/decent shooter, just needs to get a ton up in practice and then take quality shots. The rest of his game is potent and has the chance to be high quality. There's a lot of written opinion out there about this kid being a left-handed Tyreke Evans. I think there's a lot of truth to that. I also like that he wants in, wants to be here...I'd like to think we'll be able to acquire a 2nd rounder somehow but what if we can't? Phil needs to be aggressive here--fill the 15th spot with McCallum, then trim Sasha or Amundson and bring in Wroten--then go out of your way to get both some court time! It's our best and only play right now. Play the hand you're dealt...Excellent points btw about Wood not taking time away from KP, LT, KOQ etc. and also about it being difficult to picture any of these guards getting outplayed in practice by what's already here (Jose, Galloway, Sasha). I can't picture that either.

We don't know the whole story. I think Wroten wants to be here and is giving the Knicks the time to figure that out. I posted that before. Wroten tweeted twice about signing with the Knicks and deleted the tweets. So i think the Knicks are just waiting till thsee buyout players figure out where they wanna go. We'll figure that out soon I guess.
