He's gonna be a real good player. He's a real good pick and he appears to be a real hard worker.

We don't need guys like that on our team.

whoa. Think he was joking dude.

Briggs - you so crazy.

i think that to go far in the playoffs, you need at least THREE viable big men. we have two right now. there's no need to move frye b/c we still have to obtain another one. worse comes to worst, what's wrong with a guy like frye coming off the bench for instant offense?

i agree that we are long ways away from frye AND curry starting together but there's no reason why they can't be on the same team.

one HUGE offseason priority is to find a veteran PF/C that can play defense and rebound to replace AD.

Like I said, I would use Frye Nate our pick and cash to get my hands on Sheldan Williams and Aaron Gray. I look at our team right now as fix one problem at a time--it's going to take 2-3 years to fix it IF they get a clue. I dont care if we lose for a couple of years, I just want to see a different -balanced type of rebuild. That would give us Williams Lee Gray Curry as a nice young, long term frontline foundation that has balance.

As knick fans we should remember that Frye is a rookie ( a very good one ). Let him develop, lets be patient...we have waited a long time to have a young talented team . I do agree it's no pretty seeing them play but it's better than having a bunch of no heart no love and old type of players like we used to have.

I don't know anything about Sheldon Williams but I actually agree with Briggs that on defense Curry and Frye are a bad combo and Frye has high trade value. If Curry gets in shape, he'll move a lot quicker on defense. But I don't think either player will ever be the intimidating presence on defense that you need from 1 of the 2 big frontcourt positions (PF/C). We don't have to trade Frye if we want him to be a 6th man with Curry starting and want to get a quick defensive PF, but Frye does have much higher trade value than most players on the roster. Chandler would have come a lot cheaper 2 weeks ago and we could have kept Frye. Stro Swift might be a cheap solution. Same with Eddie Griffin if you're willing to take some bad contracts from Minn. I think we could get those players and keep Frye and Curry. But you'd want Frye and Curry both on the court together for only limited minutes.

Two weeks ago when Chandler was strugglinf, I suggested that the Knicks move Lee and maybe Penny's expiring contract for him. I knew he was much better than what he was showing during his slump. If you saw Chandler last year when he played wit Curry, he was a terrific role player. Averaged nearly 10 rbunds and 2 blocks not to mention 9 pts. He's 23 yrs old and can run like a SF. Curry, Chandler and Frye would be a great 3 heade monster.

I know Chandler has along contract but getting him would be the first step of many. As much as I like Marbury, he doesnt fit with this young rebuilding mix of players. Moving Marbs contract for expiring contracts and a draft pick will help with the salary cap.
Then move Ariza, Butler and spurs pick for JR Smith which gives us an athletic 6'6 220 legit SG.

Use the pick from the marb trade to hopefully land Marcus Williams.

Marcus Williams
JR Smith/Craw
Q Woods/Q Rich
Chandler/Frye
Curry
Not bad line up of young players. Then next year, Rahsard Lewis may become available and use Taylors expiring deal along with hometown boy Crawford (I'd even throw Nate into the trade) and plug Lewis in a SF.
