look at this team. Who would be better suited to play PF next to Curry?

that's true but i guess we have a KT-in-training with frye at the elbow.

I like the combo of immovable lowpost force with jumpshooting, face the basket, slasher, shot blocker. Frye is going to have to learn how to play weakside D ala Sheed.

Frye is a huge key. if he plays up to his potnetial, he will be among the nbas best pick and roll shooters--i dont think we lose anything there with kt gone buyt we lose that rebounding and D--so Frye will have to pick up the slack. some guys are pssy-footing with frye, but frye is the same guy who put up 25-15-5 against Illinois in the final four. As long as Frye BRINGS it hard--unlike TT-every night, then he will be a fine player right away.

JJ is a career backup. If he is at all better with the knicks with better coaching and him matureing, he is a very good back up and insureance when eddie "falls and can't get up!

Yo man lock this thread!!!!!!

We'll see KT when he plays the Knicks!!!

What's up Allanfan.........I think you are going to see the season start with Curry and James in the front court. Then as LB's urinary tract infection starts to flare up again you will probably see James relegated to pine time with Curry and Malik Rose. I think effort in the frontcourt will be huge for LB and this probably gives Rose and Lee a leg-up on the rest of the mediocre crew.

As for Antonio Davis, it will be interesting to see what we do with this guy. He's another guy that can legitimately play the center spot when LB's urinary tract infection flares up.

On a side note: If you haven't figured it out I am now officially nicknaming Jerome James "LB's urinary tract inflection"

jerome "the big LBUTI" james

I would rather KT over Rose or Mo T IMHO!

i rather have a PF who can play defense and does more than just jumpshoot. scoring inside wouldn't be a problem now that we have Curry but the jermaine o'neal, kenyon martins of the world driving right pass KT & Curry for thunderous dunks with no message sent would! No thanks I actually rather have Frye start at PF or even Antonio. Its amazing how the Knicks overrated Kurt's defense all these years. He was a good defender before he lost all the weight. After that he was constantly abused. Now Antonio Davis has always been a rugged defender and better rebounder. He actually goes after rebounds instead of letting them fall in his hands or someone elses as KT often did.

That was a good trade - primarily because of Thomas's age. We're a young team stocking up for the future. We needed to trade Kurt before he got to old to trade for anyone of value.

I would rather have him than James, but I don't want any old players on this team.
