Maybe its just me, but I'd rather the Knicks target T Outlaw. Great shotblocking instincts.

I wouldn't trade all those picks for JR Smith. He is a good prospect that show flashes of superstardom but we have someone like Ariza to groom into a similar player if not great like Smith. Besides I want to see the Knicks draft their own guys for a change. I think this draft will be good and I want to see Isiah do his draft thing.

I will take JR Smith if he can guard in the post and shot block. Other than that, I have no use for a SG on a team that lacks size in the post. If this lottery pick is not use to obtain a 6'11" or higher athletic PF/C than it will be time for Isiah to move on.

there more to it then just having a center to block shots. He's not going to block 50 shots per gsme. You need perimeter defense. Something Marbury and Crawford know nothing about. Get a strong 6'6'' SG and make Crawford the 6th man. He'll get plenty of minutes as the backup 1&2.

Actually, I am willing to part with Crawf to tell you the truth. He is undersize and he is a liability at the SG position. He was brought in to replace Houston, but as a SG, he is too small. We should have gone after Larry Hughes instead, but Isiah failed at trying to get him......He didn't even consider bringing Hughes in. That boy would have been pretty good with Marburry, because he does things that Marburry doesn't do well. Crawf doesn't defend, and most of all, he is extremely inconsitant....

If you are hoping to see any defense ever, you have to trade both Marbury and Craw.

Actually make that if you are willnig to see a hardworking winning team ever.
