"I always say: you've got to have three guards that can bring the ball up against the press, you've got to have two small forwards, and one can play big guard and one can play power forward if you need it.

"And then you have to have four guys that can guard the post. And I'd trade toughness and character for ability any day."

Artest would have been good. Tim Thomas, if not fugazy, would have fit.

Does he mean the reverse or is he saying he prefers ability over toughness and character?

no. he saying we have the able, he'd ship him for some tough stand up guys.

IMO if LB were the coach pre-draft, Granger (at 8) and Garcia (at 21) would be Knicks and we still take Lee at 30. Garcia last night: 3 blocks and 5 steals 6 assists 7 rebs.

Translation: all the guards are toast, Jalen is a keeper, Qyntel is a keeper and Channing Frye is moving to the three.

Who are LB-players on the current roster? Jalen, Qyntel, Frye, Lee (though you wouldn't know it from his lack of PT)...anyone else? I think that LB's praise for Marbury is designed only to up his value...and Curry would be in the doghouse if not for the fact that IT in some ways staked his future on it...
The new new core: Randle, RJ, IQ. Maybe Mitch. Future pick. Future trade. Future FA.

Earl, interesting thought. What if Frye did end up at the 3, a sort of Rashard Lewis type? Plus I still think Lee is gonna end up a great rebounding/impact/athletic 4, a la Rodman.

Get going with it Vanilli, i'm getting tired of waitng.

Frye is too mechanical in his movements to see minutes at the 3. He'll get roasted.

His size and length might make for a lot of the stiffness though.

not when he is trying to guard a man 20 feet out.

Nate is the biggest joke i've seen in years. He runs his mouth like he is good or something. He will never do anything in this league but be a backup. I hope someone knocks his teeth out.
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.

LB Type players on this lineup are as follows...
Marbury - Yes. LB has broken him and built him back up to a very good floor general before Wally banged into him. He plays good D now and controls the offense very well.
Frye - Smart, Hustle player
Lee - Smart, Hustle player
Jalen - Savy
Q Richardson - If not for his shooting, he would be awesome right now.
Jackie Butler - Role Player
Malik Rose - Savy, but the sad thing is that his skills has deteriorated. His skills from his SA glory days are gone thus his lack of height has been exploited.

Players trying to be LB type:
Q Woods - He is trying and I would need more time to evaluate. He is looking good though.
MoT - If he can learn how to pass out of double teams he would be ideal. He tries on rebounding and is a pleasent surprise in D and his nastiness. Me likes the dirty fouls


Players who should be LB type but are boneheads...
Ariza - Long active player. Needs to learn positional defense and not try to gamble too much. Needs to listen to his coach.
Jerome James - Shot Blocker. Good rebounder due to his size. Nasty. Problem is that he is a bonehead and lazy. If he can get an ounce of what Patrick had in work ethic he would be a starter in this league.


NON LB Typs players..
Nate - Ummm. Honeymoon is over. His freelancing and penchant for the hi-light reel is killing him now. I guess we have to wait for the 2nd honeymoon (after the slam dunk contest)
Jamal - He is trying but he is just not an LB type player. He plays controlled then all of a sudden...poof..the lights go off and he is jacking 3s from the parking lot.
Penny - Loser


Nate, Jamal, Ariza, Big Game and Penny should be in the list of players to be traded. Malik should be but I don't think anyone would take him.

I doubt many people can, because he is so ****ing tough.
