If Isiah's gonna stay with the 20 and 29 picks and not trade up, and we go for a small forward and a power forward/center type I think they have to consider if whoever we might draft is better talent-wise than Woods and Butler at those positions. Where do you guys think these two would go in this draft (Woods in the lottery? Butler second round or higher?) Do we bring these guys back instead of drafting similar players?

How do you guys think SFs Shawne Williams, Thabo Sefolosha, Marcus Vinicius, James White and PJ Tucker (SF that should be around 20 tommorrow night) compare to Qyntel Woods? Would any of these guys be a significant upgrade over Woods?

How do guys like Josh Boone, Paul Davis, James Augustine, Leon Powe, Ryan Hollins, Taj Gray, Matt Haryasz, Marco Killingsworth, JP Batista and for me, the most intriguing, Justin Williams, (big PF types that'll be there at 29) compare to Jackie Butler?

These are questions they should be asking themselves in the Knicks war room tomorrow night! It's a good measuring stick for the Knicks to use tomorrow, don't you think? Let me get some feedback on this guys. I'm curious what you guys think.

I like Butler and Q2. I would like them back and then just flat out release MoT and Jalen.

I would also like a trade with Memphis for Steve Francis or Blubbury for Eddie Jones and their #24 pick.

Totally agree with both points. I think this trade scenario (with Francis, I actually wanna keep Marbury between the two) is the most realistic potential trade Zeke might make tomorrow.

They said there's no way they can waive the six players, and that's totally understandable, but I think maybe 1 or 2 guys HAVE to be waved. I wouldn't mind seeing the expiring deals waived, but maybe Jerome is a better choice.

No shot in hell that he waves Francis or Marbury.

I actually think that Jerome James can be showcased and we can trade this trade deadline or next year. He is a 7' fatty but GMs and coaches are always enamored with 7' stiffs.

My plan would be buy out MoT, Jalen and Malik(who is very hard to trade because of his contract). Trade Steve to Memphis for Eddie. Draft a SF Marcus Vinicius and a PF Josh Boone. Then we try to trade Q-rich

See now that's my original point. Is a guy like Josh Boone that much better than Jackie Butler? I'm not so sure.

I want Saer Sene at the 20th pick and Mardy Collins at the 29th pick. If we get the 24th pick from Memphis then I want Marcus Vinicius.

NYKBOCKER - I don't think, with the pressure to win this year, we go with a major prospect like Sene.

We have too many players vying for PT anyway. No harm in drafting a prospect.

im ont sure the eddie jones trade will happen:( cuz i dont hear rumors or anything from the newspaper like nypost etc. but WE NEVER KNOW

I never saw Sene play, but if he's really this big shotblocking presence that people are talking about, I'd totally go after him. He'd be a great fit down the road.
