I think that the Knicks will be an up-tempo team. I don't think they will be playing a traditional 'half-court' offense, especially if they hire hire Westphal as an assistant. That's why Sweetney is expendable, he is not an open floor kind of player (at least I haven't seen that from him). The offense will run thru the 1,2 and 3's with the 4 and 5's getting what they can.

What we need is a PF that CAN run, but who's really effective in doing the little things - offensive rebounds, weakside blocks, defensive intensity, mid-range jumper...

That sounds like Elton Brand to me, but it could be any number of guys depending on who's available. I honestly don't think any of our current PF's should or deserve to get 30 MPG. Frye is a ROOKIE fellas. He'll earn his with time. Rose and Taylor don't thrive in the open court. They're more suited to a half court set. JYD is a bundle of energy, but he's not the type that can keep it up for extended minutes.

I think it comes down to who's available and when. I hope Zeke doesn't rush into trading Sweetney just for anyone. I think he has the time to wait this one out. The longer he waits, the more valuable Penny's expiring contract will be...
