seriously though, sorry about the obliviousness, for some reason I never hear of the knicks 4 life website before. anyway i read the guess what the waiving of barnes means thread and air ariza said that the phone conversation he had implied that it is for a signing and guessed rodney white. although that doesnt make any sense to me becuase is he any better than barnes?, I dont think he even is still in shape. anyway I hope hes wrong and its for a trade, cuase if its for a signing I doubt the person we sign will have that big of an impact.

Rodney White is an excellent shooter, doesn't play ANY defense but hey most of our guys didn't play defense before Larry Brown anyways. White, is long and can overmatch opposing SF's if given a chance to get minutes. He was playing in Denver prior to now and had Carmelo infront of him so playing time was not likely for him. I would like the signing if it's true.
I'm a bit confused as to where you get the notion that Rodney White is a good shooter. Mediocre is more like it. I know the guy hit a few threes over 40% last year with the Nuggets, but his overall FG percentage has been horrific, and when he was on GS he played even worse.
I know we're talking about the 12th-15th man on the roster, but I'd rather go with someone who actually makes sense for this roster. Rodney White would be such a horrible signing that I can't even imagine Isiah would consider it.
He has never been anything close to being a consistent performer, since entering the NBA. I just don't see the benefit in picking up someone like him at all. Rodney White vs. Matt Barnes is a wash, imho, and Barnes at least had a good rep for playing D and could run the floor well.
Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...
