This shows the difference between a real PG and a guy that just has PG size and can dribble the ball. Guys like Nash, Kidd and Davis can see the play before it happens. They create the distraction in order to setup the easy basket. All that probing of the defense has a purpose, much like a QB using the pump fake to move the secondary where he wants them to go. This is the kind of PG play that MDA has been missing. A guy that understands how to manipulate the defense. If Davis can get healthy he will totally change this teams execution on offense for the better.

We can all see all the times that TD simply misses Amar'e and Tyson rolling down the paint and no pass comes. There are so many opportunities lost. All the ball sticking and the offense coming to a grinding halt will be gone when there is a real PG in there keeping things moving. I really can't say enough how much i'd love to see what this team looks like if Davis is healthy. His presence puts everyone in their rightful spot in the backcourt. TD, Fields and Iman can concentrate on scoring and defending. |

I don't think he fits here anymore. I don't think he's a bad player either. I'd rather give Fields and Shump minutes at the two. I also think TD could net some project forward or a veteran that could spell Melo/Amar'e/Chandler on the second night of a back-to-back Wouldn't the Pistons consider, at least, a Bew Wallace for TD swap? How about a Larry Sanders for TD and change? Or a sign and trade for Dante Cunnigham? I like TD, but he's a luxury at this point. My prefered luxury would be for someone to take minutes away from our three studs--especially Amear--during this condensed season so they are rested come the Playoffs DLeethal wrote:

I think we will see a few very good years from this guy. He loves the spot light and he's no dummy either. He's going to put himself in a good position. That means study, get in great shape and enjoy running the Knicks and competing for a title. This will really help our depth.
Im pumped. Ive always liked his game. Yea... I know he's hurt a lot but the guy can play and he likes to WIN. This is a great situation for him and people that think this guy is lazy will be shocked, I promise that. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

I'd rather see maybe BD/TD or BD/Shump starting and MB/Shump or MB/TD backing up. I think Fields should come off the bench for when Melo is not in the game. |

I think Baron will disappoint. We'll regret not waiting for Kevin Martin. What do the Knicks expect Baron to do? He doesn't have a great shot. He's an ok passer. He won't be driving to the hoop the way he used to. At least Bibby can hit his shot at a good clip.

After one preseason game and a few youTube video's its time to trade TD?
Bibby/Davis at the point is a lot of talent but how full is the tank for those two? Tank has to be full in May-June. Who plays PF when Amare sits out? Gets to bench? does Melo slide to PF at times? Fields at SF? 5 guards is not too many. |

I don't see what signing Baron has to do with signing Kenyon. Where's Kenyon going to go, whenever he gets back from China, that will pay him more than the vet minimum? He'll be 34 by the end of the year with an extremely long injury history. He's still a useful player, especially off the bench, but he's not going to get any large contract from anyone. He'll have his choice of teams offering the vet minimum, but that's really it. Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come

How many years must the Knicks play the waiting game? We waited for Lebron....Waited for Melo...Waited for Paul...At some point you have to push your chips in and go for it. We have the team now that if healthy, can compete with the elite and Baron was right there to be had on the cheap. Melo, Chandler and Amare are in their primes, cant wait around forever. What if the Knicks waited for Martin as you say and he signed elsewhere? Then what? |
