well i have no idea who you are responding to. I have made no claim to think that Keith is going to be signed, but I do think he would be a good fit and that there are valid reasons why the Knicks would want to look into signing him.

My guess is that the coaching staff is quickly getting tired of Billy Walker. I just see him make stupid play after stupid play. His mistakes breaks the continuity of both the offense and defense.

Please educate me as to why we need someone with his skill set? I would rather keep Lin on the roster so we can find out if we can use him, and let Mike Bibby play as a shooting guard.

Richard Hamilton is an upgrade. Hell rip is an upgrade on our roster. Bogans is an upgrade over Bill walker. He is a wayyyy better defender. He shoots a better 3 ball. His offense game is very similar. Bogans is a very good defender. Would you want a good defender like walker guarding wade or have Bogans guard wade? Ill take my chances with Bogans. Hell After Shumpert, Bogans would be the best Perimeter defender on this team. Anyone disagree. We know we can score. But we need defenders that can maintain leads or keep the game close while melo or Amare are on the bench. This is the biggest problem our second unit has. Plus he is a good spot up shooter which provides value on this team. Bogans>Walker. Anyday. Walker kills me.

You think it is a good idea, while I am not enthusiastic about it.

So if they have signed him, I will take my hat off to you for knowing it was a good idea while I didn't. If they also cut Walker to create the space to sign Bogans, I will really be impressed.

Walker, Lin or Novak. Lin perhaps sent to Dleague; that's the most likely move with Walker losing minutes once Bogans gets acclimated.

How I wish. I'm tired of Bill Walker. We sould have kept Derrick Brown.

I too was hoping that Brown would stick but it's clear HE wanted back to Charlotte. That's his hometown?

The more I think on it, the more I am convinced signing Bogans would be a good idea.

I am also in favor of going after Nash and Wilson Chandler next year. All of those guys would super solidify the Knicks.

Do you still think that Nash will have enough left in the tank next year? He has alot of off nights this year and he will only get worse defensively.

Still makes me sad that we didn't/couldn't get Rubio. Today he had 13 pts 14 assists and 6 rebounds. He woulda been ferfect to set up our scorers (though also a pretty weak defensively)

And Kyle Lowry who was picked after Balkman is turning into a beast!! (though those are the breaks in the draft). He is a great defender and rebounder too.

I'd want Nash as a backup PG, nothing more, and I think he'd be perfect.

Oh - ok. That would be great - if he comes for backup money - sort of a player coach. However, what is the long term solution at PG? Not BD (too old / injury prone). Shumpert is more of a 2 with backup PG duties. TD ?

My guess is that Baron will be a Knicks player for this year and next - he is already getting $14M or whatever from Cleveland. And I don't discount Shump being a long term solution to PG.

I agree my thinking exactly

I don't think you realize how efficiently Billy Walker scores compared to Bogan

Walker .493 career shooting percentage .398 from 3 point range
Bogans .395 career shooting percentage .355 from 3 point range

How about all his dumb offensive fouls? Or bad energy / lackadaisical attitude. I can't stand him

Not to mention his defense is not good. Bogan's defense is way better.
