OK - suppose Lee and JJ2 are out for Ron - who will back up Eddy and Z-Bo?

I am not talking about injuries.
Just usual stuff - foul trouble, tired legs, back-to-back?
And who will defend opposing PF's and C's?
Not to say Lee is good for this but anyway?
Big Snuck? Morris? Malik to go 25 min?

the only guy i'd trade lee for is austin croshere...or troy murphy. ok, maybe we can include mike miller too.

knicks would catch some serious flack from fans and media if they trade lee.

Jerome James as Currys backup and Morris/Malik as Zachs backup make this David Lee trade stuff ridiculous.

Do the trade but give up a sf and expirings. You have to give something to get something. Balkman going for Artest would not be the end of the world.

I post it because there is a rumor that this what IT is proposing for Ron and I cannot see why they will even think for a minute?

Ron could play center better than anyone on this roster if he wanted to.

But Ron will be starting SF - he cannot backup C/PF

I was make a commentary on the sad state of the front court on defense. I don't expect him to actually play center if he joins the Knicks.

Balkman played the PF spot several times when Lee was out. He was effective in games that I saw, particularly against Bosh and Dirk. Then there is Randolph Morris who is a PF/C. Malik I guess is still on this team as well. Bonn is right Artest has defended PFs in the league as well. Balkman, Q, Chandler or Nichols could be brought in to play the 3 spot while Artest defends the 4 for periods of time. Hell JJ1 was starting with Curry and for some games was effective defending the bigger 4s until he got into foul trouble.

Malik Rose and Randolph Morris are the backups, unless of course Isiah trades Dickau/Jones for a backup F/C

Nice guys to watch... So what's the point?
Why Z-bo and Ron making this team better?
More hype, more controversy, etc.
What about bbal? Not a hot topic any more.

Brandon Tierney said on 1050 before that if we do get Artest LEE WILL NOT BE INCLUDED, I REPEAT LEE WILL NOT BE INCLUDED...he said he got that from an inside source

Someone posted on RealGm that EspnNews reported that the Knicks offered Lee and Jared Jeffries for Artest. I hope this isn't true. I think bringing Artest in is a big mistake. I think it is a fatal mistake if they trade Lee. I love Artest's talent but I believe he is mentally unstable and I think he would destroy the team.

Seriously... Thankyou King for that. I want Artest, yes I know he's a complete psycho but this team needs him but I would not in ANY way give up David Lee for him.
