I think the Cavs picked up Lee Nailon

i think francis is wearing number 8 so i doubt latrell is in the pipeline...yet

He's wearing #1 now. Bring on Spree!! lol.

J.Williams would actually be an amazing pickup if he can still play.

Reggie Miller?

Marcus Fizer.....can play the 3 and 4, defensive presence, may be able to guard the center spot in certain matchups, maybe even SG in certin matchups (with the bigger, sort of slower SG's).


Lynch would be decent too, Jay Williams-only if you are prepared to really slash Jamal's minutes so we can see what Jay has.

I think he is probably the most intriguing prospect out there (Jay). but we are SO deep at guard though......unless we are prepared to take the hit and totally shoot the trade value of Jamal of q in the foot (grnted they both may not have much if any at all), but still...

Who gives a fugg? The 15th man aint saving us.

why why should the knicks spend 1 more $ this year what purpose does it serve? if you want to look at marcus fizer invite him to play on your summer team

we already have to many players

Interesting how they let Spree go when its H20 who broke down.

I would love Spree back but I know it will never happen.

jay will is the only one i'd sign at this point... there's no upside to signing any of the other choices... this season's finished... we need to use the remaining games to evaluate the players we currently have so LB can decide who stays & who goes.

We know what Fizer brings, we know what Jim Jax brings...these are not players that need to be evaluated. I agree the youths need to play but they need some vets to learn from, and these two accomplish that. Jax is a heady, steady player who does a bunch of stuff, while Fizer is a GREAT defensive option who basically brings what Kenyon brings minus the points and the name.

This season, w/o our pick at this point it doesn't matter whether we win or lose. this knicks team now is exactly what I worried about when we said rebuild...so many young players to develop and so many young players to fall in love with, we focus more on the name and the fact that we drafted them and want to develop them rather than sorting out who is worth developing and to what point. Jax has been through alot and Fizer is not someone who you have to develop but what you see is what you get. There is plenty of room for Lee to get 15 minutes per, Frye to get 25-30 per (his conditioning needs work) and Nate 5-8 per as a change of pace guard.

We can argue all day that the rookies should play whatever and Larry should play whoever, but in all, but it doesn't matter because Larry is also trying to win to a degree....he is going to play Taylor and Rose (until maybe we give him what he considers better options, and I think JJax and izer are exactly the type of players LB likes), and maybe Nate, and even perhaps Craw more than he should. We have too many young guys and honestly we can not develop them all in one season.

In my opinion right now, Nate is the young on the roster that we have the least need to develop, followed by Craw and Q1(if you consider him a young)....the ones we Most have to develop are Frye, Butler, Curry (maybe if you think he will be here next year), and Q2..Lee to me falls somewhere in the middle because I don't think his ceiling is too high and I also think he really doesn't need to develop as much as play.
