They have 2 super talented youngs in Howard and Nelson to build the team around. Recently added Darko and Arroyo, plus Stevenson & Turkoglu are all decent role players. With Francis gone, and Grant's contract coming off the books at the end of next season, they have great cap flexibility going forward. And they can add good talents from the draft this yr. Imagine them adding Carney (or Reddick) and Eric Williams.

Nelson / Arroyo / Diener
Stevenson / Carney (or Reddick) / Dooling
Turkoglu / Hill / Ariza
Howard / Garrity / Eric Williams
Battie / Kasun / Darko

I like the potential of this young team. If Grant Hill becomes part of the management after he retires, even better.

As for the Knicks, I have no idea where this team is going UNLESS Isiah trades one of Francis, Steph or Craw...
