Right now, the Knicks don't have enough talent period to make any judgement on what system fits. GSW built their team over a number of years with excellent judgement on their draft and on building and developing the talent from within. If they feel a superior talent at #4 then don't get cute - take him. If not, trade down to get some additional assets and start building a core. Knicks are at the stage that GS was back in the lock-out season. It took them 3 years to get where they are at now. To me, the clock really starts now on judging Phil and Fisher. We will see if Fisher has the coaching chops and whether Phil just took the money. The triangle can work but you still have to be flexible enough to incorporate alternative concepts. The safest way to at least stay competitive in the short-run is fill your roster with some quick, long, athletic defenders who can guard the perimeter - similar to what Milwaukee is trying to do. Do you remember the last time the Knicks whiffed on multiple first round picks - John Wallace, Walter McCarty, and someone named Jones who never made it in the league?

The kid from Mississippi State, Dontae Jones. I loved him in the tournament that year as well as Wallace. I believe Jones got into some serious trouble, murder charge?, after basketball but I am not positive.
