What is your best idea for a back up pg?

Do you think Lin is ready to play on a level of basketball we saw the last week?

I think he has potential to but I cannot give you a definite yes or no. He needs to get stronger and have coach that recognize the importance of using a secondary ball handler.

But again what is your best idea?

Bring in a PG who can get Amare 15 to 20 shots a game and who can compete with Miami..Bring Lin off the bench and let him develop..He is essentially a rookie and isn't ready to compete against Miami..The Knicks have a small window and waiting for Lin to develop should not be the gameplan..

And who is this international man of mystery?

Your like a lot of Knick fans. No imagination. You want the sure thing. Give up any youthful assets to get the "NOW" player.

You don't get a Heat killer with 5mm per do you? So how do you beat the Heat?

If Nash won't take the MLE then Felton..No mystery..It's not about giving up on youth, it's about honestly recognizing we have a small window and waiting for one player to develop should not be the gameplan...If Lin is ready he starts, if not come off the bench...Why is this a problem, it's beneath Lin?

Well i personally wouldnt use the MLE on kidd i would use the veterans minimum if he wants to accept it. But what would you do holfresh?

+1 on vet minimum for Kidd. I would love to see him orchestrating and telling people where to go on offense and tutoring Lin but think there might be a player with more upside available for MLE

We cant focus our attentions a handing one player the full mle. No one who is out there is worth it in full except Nash who is 39 and will prob get close to 10mil from phx or a sure fire contender. Use the mle wisely on a pg, sg & pf and the team is 2nd in the east behind miami

No contending team can offer him more than 5 mil everyone is capped out, Only Phoenix and some really bad teams can offer him more, Dallas might be the exception but who knows what direction they are going in.

By then Amare's contract wi be a year closer to expiring and we wont have to deal with being over the cap. By all accounts the knicks ade operating on a more responsible level as it pertains to the cap and youth

What are you asking? Do you want Lin to be Lebron? Because if you're comparing him to a Heat player it should be Chalmers.

Oh Im talking Charlmers ..

You don't believe that Lin is at least as good as Chalmers?

Question isn't whether he is better than Charlmers?..Does Lin at PG help us compete against Miami?
