first off, i dont want to concede any games playing the roster to showcase a player.

if they feel that they are going to have troubles winning--then play the young guys--it worked GREAT for the Bulls last year--we need more athletiscm and speed in the SL.



i know we were a turnover mess, and at this point I think LB needs to scale back his offensive reads because its causing hesitations which leads to TO. break when its there, if you can run, always run. go into the post heavily with Curry and Bynum and if nothing si the move the ball. we dont need to conform to defenses --lets just play smart simple basketball right now and if they want to add more diversity during the year, cool, but not at the cost of wins.

I feel we have guys we can win with now. I dont think the excuses need to be mae about inexpereince--I think if we put the right talenst on the floor--we will do well

I think we should play 10 men

I think the line up should look like so

C-Curry
F Frye
F Ariza
G Craw
G Marbury
F Davis
F Taylor
F Q
F Barnes
G Nate
foul trouble James-needs to get in shape to crack rotation, butler, lee, Penny

malik-inactive


next--im a homebody, but i believe we should scout Marcus williams intensely during the year--he'll be back for the big east---he is exactly the type of pG Larry wants a guy who passses rebounds and controls tempo,and also play a big 1 6-3 205 and has a very high, high basketball IQ--I think for this to work, we may need to explore moving marbury during or post year and bring in a bigger PG, more athletic wings and get a lot of expereince for the guys here.

That being said, we should win now--we can win now and we should win now


simplify--go young and athletic--have the vets off the bench--get that energy into the game early--try to get channing and eddie as vocal points

were shifting away from marbury to the post--this will pay off at some point--

Where's your head at?

I don't mind showcasing guys, but not at the expense of giving Frye major PT. The kid is showing star potential.

actually, kwame's game last night was no slip. bynum may have a hard time finding minutes since kwame looks phil jackson ready

Bonn that would be an AWESOME frontline, if they could both live up to their potential, or a HUGE bust if they don't...besides, if we get Kwame we don't draft Frye.

Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily true. I think when you have the opportunity to grab bigs with high upside, you don't worry about distributing the minutes. That will work itself out.
Who would you rather have: Kwame or Frye? I think Kwame has much more potential on defense and Frye much more on offense. Frye's known for having the better attittude and motivation. But Kwame has a more natural, gifted basketball body. I really like Frye but I think it would be hard to turn down the chance to get a 22 year old (same age as Frye) with the basketball body Kwame has.

Q for Kwame and NY still has Ariza, signs Barnes, and still has the pieces to do the Curry trade.

see your point.

let me ask u this:
If things went differently, how would drafting Danny Granger be a bad thing. He may end up being the best player in that draft. Frye was a solid pick but Granger has the type of game to make 9 or 10 out of the 14 GM's picking prior look like idiots including IT.

And defensively Brown at the 4, Granger at the 3 with LB coaching without question would be a nightmare for opposing front-courts.
