He said that the Knicks could have signed Stro but they chose Jerome James over him because they didn't want another PF and needed a big body C. Do you think that would have made a difference at all? I mean the kid's bball IQ is low and he's basically a tall Shandon Anderson.

those kind of players don't make a difference when the core of the team is doo-doo

Anyone with a pulse is better than James. Can anyone clearify the date they signed james?

Stro is a talented player that would have been murdered in NY for not performing up to his ability. Glad they didn't get him.

Regardles, he's better than James. Needed a big man yes, needed James no way. This is a guy who has averaged 3-4 points a game. You think at 30, all of a sudden he was gonna find his game (as if he ever had one) I don;t know, close call. I know Stro hasn't exactly tore it up at Houston but thhink about this.

None of the top teams have dominat centers. Its a new day. Parker, Lebron and Wade lead the league in points in the paint. Than tells you there aren't many cneters in the league any more.

Phx has Diaw playing center. Det has 6'9 wallace playing center. Dallas has Diop, San An has....can't even remember his name. If I had the choice, I'd pick Stro but it would have made much difference.

And what exactly is it that Swift would bring to our half court offense?

Jackie Butler is better than him right now.

Stromile Swift is Trevor Ariza in a different kind of body.

the correct question is what would he bring to our half-court defense and transition game?

shot-blocking

a big man who fills the lane and finishes

we could have had Stromile Swift and we decided to sign Jerome James? ... I'm going to go and clean up the vomit I just spewed all over my keyboard.

That's the kind of logic that led Tapscott to pick Weis over Artest.

In the NBA, it should always be BPA.

James should have been a 10 day contract instead of a 5 year deal. Another reason why we should wear FIRE ISIAH t-shirts to each game.
I want to leave something that's going to stand for a long timeI want to leave a legacy,I want to leave tradition.I want to leave an imprint,a blueprint in terms of how people play,and how they coach and how they respond when they put on the Knick uni.
