Like I said, I almost felt for it in the first post, but decided to go the better route.

BUZACTLY!

So me saying....BLOCKS ARE OVERRATED wasn't a belief of mine... it was a mock at the notion they are overrated.

lol Dude it's okay you forgot about it...

Yes we need interior defensive presence, yes we need someone on this team who will not per say grab all rebounds but block out at all times and/or get rebounds, yes we need someone here who won't block all shots but make attempts at blocking them and/or altering them

DUH WINNING!

Actually this team wasn't built around Melo and Amar'e because no astute GM/Scout would ever put those 2 together on the same team.

Amar'e happened to arrive here before Melo made it known he wanted to take over the big apple. Every since the Melo trade the team has been shaped around Melo.

Hence why the team made several attempts to trade Amar'e last year and would this year if they had the chance to.

Another clue as to why we know it wasn't built around the two of them because only 1 of them has been asked to adjust his game for the other player.

I would sign Kmart to sure up other biggest problems, rebounding and protecting the rim.

Knicks are 28th in blocks and 27th in rebounds.

This team needs a healthy Rasheed Wallace and Felton....They are the MVP of this team. Whether you like them or not....We are clearly better when they are healthy.

I support the Kmart move.....My only concern is where does Kmart fit in when the old dogs (Wallace and Camby) are healthy? Will this cause contriversy at the wrong time of the year, like during our championship run? If we assume Camby and Wallace will never be healthy again, sign Kmart. He's the low post presence we need on defense. Plus he scores in transistion. But this is based on the old Kmart. Not sure if that he still exsist at 36 yrs old, sitting on the couch eating muchies.

And .... Amare will grow 4 more inches so that he can actually accomplish the aforementioned tasks.

Amar'e averaged 17 and 8 and a block last year with a bad back. The year before that was like 21 and 8 and 1.5 blocks. No growth needed. Perhaps you should just employ common sense and reason.

It's always funny to see fans rant about the need to go out and get some player as if it it would be some magical elixir. Sometimes, teams improve within during the course of a long season. Knicks have a lot of room for improvement simply with improved health of Amar'e, Felton and Shumpert.

Kenyon Martin is not in the league for reason and adding him to the team will not accomplish a thing.

It's the only option. Tyson, Melo, Shump, Kidd, Felton is a nightmare defensively and on the boards. No way he goes to that lineup. Amare is starting
