EnySpree - great call. Like his assists (4.3) and shooting percentage (.517).

But Miller gotta lose the flip hairdo.

Malik for Mike Miler works.....why wouldn't it work for both teams?

Anji - you gotta take back salary in return dude. Read my lips - nobody is giving away "decent" (first round?) picks for nothing. Are you really suggesting that any NBA franchise would give up a first round selection, straight up for Lee and Jeffries, without holding the Knicks to take back equivalent salary?

What universe does that deal happen in?

c'mon

Ambulatory centers are in demand. Curry is not in that category.

Why don't we add Stephon Curry as the next PG and let all the other teams have the high flyers and the Ricky Rubio's and we can take the brains skills and bloodline.

If I'm gonna take an undersized shooter/scorer as a guard (listed at 6'3" but might be more like 6'1") that really doesn't have the good PG skills to run a club he better at least be a complete offensive player. This kid's a terrific little jumpshooter but in terms of being that complete scoring guard, I'm not sure he can really take his guy off the dribble consistently. What really seperates this kid from similar players right now? Does he have the height like his father did? Does he have the overall strength like an Eric Gordon has? Tell you what, he's probably not as good or as complete a player as Jerryd Bayless for example - I think Bayless has a much better NBA future IMHO. This kid's good and he & his team had a nice run in the Tourney, but I'm not so sure he'll ever be more than just a good complementary piece in the NBA at best. Have to take a closer look at this kid's overall game this season to see if he's made any progress toward becoming a more complete player. Tell you what though, how I see it - if we wind up in the lower part of the lottery he'd have to be an option for us if he's still there. But to be honest if we really rattle off some wins and wind up outside the lottery, somewhere in the middle of the 1st round, unlike Thabeet and some of the other primo talent, he wouldn't be a guy I'd try and trade up to get as of right now...

This guy can play PG.

To me Stephen Curry's more of a run-the-floor scorer/spot up shooter that plays off the ball. He's small for a two and not known for his strength, ballhandling or PG skills. That's just fact. Shooting skills are certainly legit but there's just not enough to this kid to justify taking him with our pick next summer as of right now. Remember the criticisms a lot of people had with Eric Gordon & Jerryd Bayless? Expect the same if not more next summer come draft time with this kid. We need more than a complimentary piece out of this draft next summer (esp. considering Utah gets our pick in 2010), whether we stand pat with the pick or hopefully wind up trading up to get what we need - I'd be looking for a little more than what this kid has to offer. Speaking of Bayless, he's much more of a complete package than this kid by comparision when comparing two undersized scoring 2-guards that will be expected to also play some point in the NBA. Like I said last summer, Bayless IMO, has a chance to be another Tony Parker. I don't see that type of future for this kid. I hope I'm wrong...

This guy is the second coming of Steve Nash but a better rebounder and defender. Why wouldnt we want that? Didnt Nash win 2 MVP's?

"you ain't got it like I got it"

4949 - all I know is that any "talk" of bringing Lebron to New York is completely fabricated by the New York media. The fans latch on to a random rumor like leeches and so it goes. Someone sees Lebron with a Yankee hat and they go nuts. Big deal.

Donnie Walsh knows how impossible it would be to sign him, and Lebron has no compelling reason to uproot himself from his home state. The expected money would be insane (during a recession no less) and the pressure to deleiver a championship ring in year ONE would be ten times what A-Rod faces on a daily basis.

Just because 'Bron wears a Yankee baseball hat, as half of the civilized world does, is insignificant...

... and 2010 is a long way off

Why do people keep bringing up the Yankee cap incident? Who the F cares?!

That's not why I think it's possible.

Why do you think it's so impossible. Explain in detail to us will you please mistereal? This needs to be debated and I really wonder just how much of certain people are really Knick fans.

Jesus Christ. If people would fight for the rights of Lebron 'LIKE THEY FIGHT FOR (of all things) THAT GOOFY BITCH ARIZA' then it would make total sense. But to cry over Ariza and not even give a thought to Lebron just baffles me to no end.

Wow. Stephen Curry's a better Steve Nash? Did I read that right? Man, that's extremely high praise for a guy who hasn't done nothing yet.
