We need 2 more shooters with size and 1 player with versatility and athletiscm[like balkman] with a touch of a vet pg.

the one thing i dislike is watching jefferies and frye on the court at the same time. If someone figured out the +- when those guys are on the court together OUCH its well to the negative side.

Frye blows.

They'll add at least one shooter in the off season.

It takes time. It's not like Isiah inherited a talented roster.

JJ2 is pointless on the court when Balkman is out there. Balkman simply does everything that JJ2 does but better. Frye is to blame here. This team needs him to play atleast like he was capable of playing like last year. Knock down the open jumper, post up from time to time and play pick and roll. He has zero confidence in his jumper now. He past up atleast 5 open shots last game. I am confident that Thomas has seen enough and will add Almond or a pure shooter to run with this team. I still would like to see Morris in the games instead of Frye at this point.

JJ2 = 4 More Years!!!

So he gets 4 years? What was the court verdict?

Any kind of parole system to get read of him?

I can't really take any of this too seriously when our 2 best perimeter shooters aren't dressed. Lee is dressed but no playing. I do agree that we need another solid perimeter shooter and we need for Balkman and Collins to develop their offense.

Jared is a guy that is a role player for certain situations and he's useful if we have more of a contribution from the other 5 guys on the court with him. He's not a production guy. The fact that Frye has been so out of it this year has really hurt, cuz that makes Jared less effective. Isiah has some hard decisions to make regarding this roster. We know that we have a few things going for us, but unless we fix the holes in this ship it won't sail.

Whatever it takes Isiah has to add a SF/SG with size a 3 pt shot and some D. I can see how much that would add to this team to have another real threat on the floor with Curry and Steph. I may be wrong, but I believe that Jason Kapono may be available this summer. I'd add him to give us some shooting depth and i'd still add a shooter in the draft as well. I'd like to have shooters on the floor at all times.

morris almond can stroke the rock, and i love bellineli's game as well. if neither of those guys, sean williams to protect the rim or that dude herbert hill briggs was talking about.

its pretty obvious what the needs of this team are.

i was live at the sixers game, taking stephon out when they were up 6 just killed all the their momentum. You guys are right about the shooters because there were 3 players that werent getting any respect with their shot and the sixers defense was cheating. jared jeffries, balkman, collins are a big liability offensively when they are on the court together. Truth is we are a medicore team with our full roster. We seriously miss Q, Lee, and while i still believe dont need crawford he can help us offensively at times.

KG is the real deal, if we will ever compete for a championship within these next 5 years we need a leader and dominant player like him. His shooting range, his ability to pass to our cutters *balkman*, His desire to play on both ends, and he will make sure eddy curry gets of his ASS and use his body on both ends. While some people may disagree with me, I just dont see us going under the cap for another 6 years or whatever so why not give up Lee and whatever it takes if its possible to add a player like KG. KG would improve the games of balkman, jared jeffres, steph, and curry without a doubt. GIVE KG and the MSG crowd and it will be some energy.

All the things I feel everyone is saying about adding shooters a shot blocker, its just not enough for us to seriously contend for a championship but will be only enuff for a playoff spot. You guys are totally right about those stuff, but we need so much more for a championship. A LEADER is what we need. Too bad frye the bum trade value is at its all time low and we dont have any expiring contracts. I dont know what lee's value is at now n what more it will take to get KG but i think isiah seriously has to push for a deal.

the bulls were going to give up deng, nocioni and a 1st roudn pick for GASOL. given that KG is a level above gasol, he is clearly out of the range of the knicks. the knicks have nothing to offer. get over it. he won't be a knick.
