sign Steven Hunter with the MLE
S and T Mike and Penny for Walker and LaFrentz or Blount (Celtics waive the one they keep, Knicks waive the other one)
trade Tim, Ariza and the 2006 Spurs pick for Artest and Bender (Pacers waive Croshere)
Hunter/Frye
Walker/Taylor
Artest/Rose
Richardson/Crawford
Marbury/Robinson
extra - JYD, Butler or Lee
inactive - Butler or Lee, Houston ($20 mil exp con in 06-07) Bender ($7 mil exp con in 06-07)
Houston and Bender also provide depth at guard cuz they can play SG if Q or Craw miss time and allow Craw to move to PG if Marbury or Robinson miss time

If that were ever to happen then I'd be fine with having Antoine on our roster. That team would be a lock for 45+ wins, aside from the killer starting lineup, look at the bench,
PG-Nate
SG-Craw
SF-Lee
PF-Taylor
C- Frye

Thats a roster that is easily 10 deep, which is a huge plus in the playoffs, especially in the east.

With all that said, I don't see Zeke and Larry Bird dealing with each other.

actually a team filled with Hunter staring C Walker at PF Q at G and Marbury sound like the 5th pick in the draft next year.

were going to have problems because nate is to good to play 10 minutes, crawford will want 30+ its going to be feuding add in fatoine who always needs the rock and stone hands hunter, and the garden should be on its feet!


I would say break it down one more year, dont buy into walker hunter james, see if we can acquire Gooden and Pachulia at reasonable costs, look to be opportunistic at the deadline only take good deals look for draft picks for 06 and 07. Get all the rookies good burn, play a lot of 3 AND 4 guard sets at times dont obssess on the W-L record or playoffs --look to develop something see what we may have and what we dont have rebuilding take 2-3 years, mixing and matching terrible deals fo vets isnt worth it, if we have to take lumps take them

the goal should be oNE goal, to build the roster to the point where it can legitimately challenge for championships. it will take some time. marbury might be gone or should/could be gone by that time. We have some exciting players. dont bog them dont with sht like fatoine

Good post, Briggs. I was basing my previous post in this thread on the fact that we would get Artest, something I know you don't agree on becuase we've been down that road a million times. I don't want Antoine, I'd rather take the wait and see aproach, but if Ron Artest were ever available, I'd really like to see Isiah try and make a play for him. RonRon really is without a doubt the best defensive player in the game, better then Big Ben because he SHUTS DOWN opposing stars. Ask T-Mac and Kobe.

that entire post makes me want to puke...LaFrentz? Hunter? are you serious? those guys aren't going to help us win any titles...LaFrentz has 1 of the worst contracts in the NBA & you want to include him in the deal to get Walker? come on dude...i know you're better than this...the Knicks are already going to waive Allan Houston's contract, so forget that part of your idea also.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

No Fatoine, No Pierce.

Hunter not much skill with the rock.

Be patient.

I wanted Artest. Damn that Frederic. Artest will never come to NY. We are being punished for it. That is that. End of the Artest story.

Fatoine...no thanks.

Steven Hunter...maybe but not for whole mle. Just eh.
Knicks are happening and have a Unicorn.
Get Hunter, Walker, and Artest
