The Knicks haven't been a good team for young developing players for some time now. Will that change now that Brown is the coach? I read where the Knicks wanted to do a deal with Portland, but Portland wants Lee, and the knicks don't want to give up Lee.

I like Lee and would like to see the Knicks keep him, but will he see any playing time on the Knicks? It might be better for his career if he were traded. I mean we have like 50 veteran power forwards with lousy contracts, plus they'll probably use Frye as a Power Forward as well.

In general, I wonder if the young guys will get much playing time once the regular season starts.

That is an excellent question. I won't consider this season a success unless they do. Maybe not all of them, but we need to find out what we've got with Frye, Lee, Nate, Jackie & Trevor ... and we need to develop these guys. If that group as a whole isn't averaging somewhere over 70 mins a game, I'll be disappointed. I think Brown will play at least 3 of the 5 young guys, but we'll have to see. I mean, what are the alternatives. If you figure Steph, Q, Craw, Curry, JJ, and AD will all get burn, who else is left ... Penny, Rose, MoT?

Things are different.

I think.

In not sure anymore.

Until Dido tells me what Isiah and Larry are thinking, I can't really be sure.

I think All rookies will get some burn, but If we get a back up point, I can see Nate getting limited action. While he has crazy skills, he is out of control and can be used as a spark plug. His turnovers need to come way down to earn trust. A fan favorite indeed.

Reezy is gonna be in the rotation,as is Frye. OUr Power forwards are many, but Frye will get minutes, with lee getting a bit. This until we make a trade.

If we are not contending I do think they get more playing time.

Of course, if the wins happen with the kids, its all theirs!

nate will learn faster if he is getting playing time- you learn by doing and making mistakes and knowing what not to do next time and how to do.

You don't learn on the bench.
