I love Pau but I'm not sure he's the low post presence we need inside offensively. He can be contained and forced to stay on the perimeter. We need KG then the East would look like this

1. Knicks

I think the Knicks should KG and Lebron for expiring contracts. Then we'd be unstoppable. If Penny's expiring contract doesn't get the job done, throw in Jackie Butler. LOL. You guys are funny.

No, Larrys big man in Detroit played defense.

If there free LSD being given out here? Expiring contracts do not equal major star much less superstar. If that were the case every GM would be beating down our doors-we've got more high pricd expiring contracts than anybody. Sheesh

you get always throw in young players and top draft picks for guys like KG. but realistically bigman don't get traded for expiring contracts. Guards like Marbury and Baron Davis do. So you can pencil in yet another guard unless isiah just lets the expiring contracts expire.

How long have we been waiting for Ewing's replacement? the only way you get these top flight frontcourt players are 1) with a top lottery pick or 2) with cap room. We'll have none for a very long time. Gotta hope we do the best we can with the bigs we have and yet another guard that we aquire for TT/Penny

How do you come to 'If we get Pau'? Is this a new trade rumor or just a scenario you're thinking up? It's hard trying to figure what's real with you guys and what's not...

This was posted in the other thread, from realgm's offseason review:

New York: They got things off quickly by trading Kurt Thomas and what ended up being Dijon Thompson to the Suns for Quentin Richardson and what became Nate Robinson.

Robinson is already a folk hero, poised to be the slam dunk champion and Richardson is a healthy perimeter shooter with a nice back to the basket game for a guard.

Waiving Allan Houston will happen as soon as it is allowed.

Jerome James will turn out to be a steal.

Then there is the Larry Brown situation. There is little doubt that he will be the next coach and the player that will benefit the most is Stephon Marbury.

The most interesting aspect yet to come though are the expiring contracts of Tim Thomas and Penny Hardaway. That is over $28 million worth of cap relief for whoever wants to get rid of their high price talent.

Pau Gasol is the clearest option at this point, but Isiah might want to hold playing those chips until the season is well underway and teams that were believers stop believing.

if shaq was on the knicks if duncan was on the knicks
if kg was on the knicks

Thats wrong in at least two ways.

1. Pau is not better than any knick.
2. If he was, how does that mean he's not coming?

Wasn't marbury better than any Knick when he got here?
