Why? Successful teams are the ones who think ahead of the curve. All too often, the Knicks have thrown big money at HOF types only to find out that the game had passed them by (see Larry Brown and Lenny Wilkens). Walton is young and apart of a new generation that will set the tone for what championship types will look and play like. Give me that guy over any re-thread.
