How is Lee and curry hindering frye in anyway?

You can't focus on two low-post players at the same time. If every low-post play is for Eddy, none are for Channing, even though his jump hook is an awesome weapon and he can pass out of the double team better than Eddy can.

I would agree that channing has a very good hook shot with either hand. Would you agree that has nothing to do with how weak channing is as an overall ball player?

I will use brad miller as an example. I think channing can be this guy one day. Thing about it what I think and what I see on the court are two different things. Channing does not show an ability to play the game. When he talks about his game he refers to getting a few shots down to get him going. That to me is not enough.

Curry should not hinder a man from playing the game. If channing showed he could play well inside it would show. It simply doesn't. Brad miller had Jermaine oneal, and then he had webber. What does having a better post player have to do with getting their **** off in a game? It has nothing to do with shots cuz with channings game he should get some.

I agree he's weak overall as a bball player, but I don't think he's weaker overall than Eddy, especially when you consider that he's in year 2 and not being allowed to do what he does best. I have to give DJ credit for the idea but I think the team would be in the same or perhaps better position if they gave Eddy's role on offense entirely to Channing. He's good enough in the post to finish or draw double teams. And he can actually pass competently out of double teams. There's basically no difference in the defense or rebounding between Eddy and Channing.

Philly is anothe team that could use frye, especially with dalembert. Dalembert is actually a better post player! Anyway, he could fit there. Thing is who do we want from them?

Edit: Steven hunter is a dude the knicks could use on the bench as that mobile shotblocker. That would make TMS happy, lol.

agreed about Philly... but you'd have to get back more than just Steven Hunter... he's a bit role player at best... i would want their 2nd rounder this year & next year along w/Hunter at the very least for Channing, or a future protected 1st rounder & Hunter, their choice... but i like that idea Eny... you know we need a shotblocker bro!

Channing passes good out of the post?

I meant that he has some passing skills, which surely would translate into better low-post passing than Eddy. Channing's not gonna give you 5 to 10 turnovers for every assist.

Another thing. Curry isn't perfect but he needs more credit than channing. Curry is having a better season cuz the knicks are going to him?

better season than what? last year's disaster? Yes. His contract year in Chicago? No.

Channing doesn't have one move not even one that can actually provide space for him to get that hook shot off.

What do you mean? Creating space for the low-post player has to do with how the other four offensive players are positioned, which is up to the PG and coach (not the big man). Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

contract season is next year. wouldn't be surprised if frye's agent starts making a little noise about PT or wanting to be moved. ny gives you the big money tho...so it should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Another thing. What's wrong with trading away a player and watching him sucseed somewhere else? The bulls are notorious for letting talent go. Look at the bulls now. I hate paxson but look at some of the players that he has given up on. Tons of players that he has traded away went on to have productive careers. Artest, Brad miller, craw, curry, Chandler, etc. Life goes on.

Moral? Who cares about channing and his mouthpiece? Knicks have Lee and curry. The knicks should also have no problem replacing a 10/5 power fwd.
