What do you think the Knicks should do before the deadline--we do have injury problems and we cant seem to keep our guys on the floor--should we try to get some quality depth?
Yes we need reliable depth for both positions due to injuries
Just PF Wallace and Camby are not relaible
Just SG
No moves whatsoever Ill go with what I have

this could also be a sign that Tyson Chandler's neck injury could cost us to miss some time
It takes time and rest to heal the neck area, as it affects the back, and could be really serious if not treated

Tyson being the warrior that he is, has been sucking it up for awhile now, and I fear it is catching up with him
With Camby/Rasheed out, we haven't had any bodies to rely on that can give him rest and play together with him to make it easier

It's insane that we haven't brought in Kenyon Martin yet.

Mickael Gelabale
Chris Johnson

are 2 players at the forward position probably that the T-Wolves signed from the D League with 10 day contracts ending soon
They have more experience in the league, with D League, and Europe, and have greater upside
They are completely different players compared to Sims
Sim's is the traditional PF type that can hit the 12 footer, hustle points/rebounds, much like a younger Kurt Thomas
Maybe Sim's and Woodson have some experience with each other with the preseason/practice and Allan Houston see's something in him as GM of D League Erie...........

Gelabale is a shooter like Copeland but is much more mobile, quicker, can handle the ball, and I believe was part of the French team with Diaw/Parker
While Chris Johnson is just a great athlete, runs the court well, is extremely lanky, and is a poor man's version of AK47

I am impressed with both players but more with Gelabale's ability to shoot the ball and both are much better athletes with speed/quickness
Chris Johnson has been in the D League for awhile now and he is one of the more explosive/athletic players with great length
While they are not the traditional PF's I think their reach/length allow's them to play much bigger than their height

Most importantly their speed/athleticism would translate on DEFENSE, so they would not be liabilities like Novak and Copeland are at the SF position


I was impressed with Sims during his stint here in summer camp and he's listed as one of the tops prospects in the NBDL. I like the fact that he's tough and doesn't back down. Typical Hoya. Plus, he already has some familiarity with the organization.

For real, at least call him in for a work out and see how he looks
Many here think he is done but he played very well for the Clippers last year
Just no team wanted to give him the contract he wanted and now he can either sign for the minimum or follow Spree's road
If he has been staying in shape, he should have plenty left in the tank
I see him give us a good 10-20minutes a night, with about 6pts, 5rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal
More importantly a DEFENSE, along with a toughness, intangibles, good cuts, a sidekick with Tyson, and 6 hard fouls

Exactly. He has the exact skills that we need right now and he's available and he's a proven commodity.

I have a feeling that there's a lot more than meets the eye regarding Kenyon. The fact that he's gone this far into the season without a team signing is enough to raise a few eyebrows. Maybe he got into a few off court scuffle with Blake Griffin. It's not just the Knicks, but every team in the league that's shying away.

possibly or he could fall in the category that majority of the league is just dead wrong, it happens
Again, most of it was because he wanted a much bigger deal than the veterans minimum and he held out, losing opportunities because of it

But we have players that have had success with Kenyon before already here and he fits in perfectly with our injuries with the way we want to play

the minority is not clamoring for him neither, No team wants him, clearly this has more to do with just his play on the court..he's better then a lot of vets in this league, but IF you haven't been a high character guy through out your career, you risk fallen out of the league earlier then you should (see AI, Marbury)
