The Knicks were again well represented with Wilson Chandler, Randolph Morris and Demetris Nichols in attendence. I spoke with all of them. You’ll have to wait, though, because I’m tired.

Check back with me tomorrow.

I will say this, Morris seems to have lost the baby fat. He is darn near chiseled now.

Damn! I thought this thread was about Zach and it actually got my hopes up! What's the point in having a chiseled guy on the inactive list for every game?!

We dont' know what is gonna happen with the Roster or rotations this year. I'm hoping that we finally just cut our losses with James. If he's gone then it's clear that Morris will get some PT and a chance to learn and grow. I'm tired of all these old guys hanging around. I like Malik, but even he's a problem to me. Just let the youth learn from their mistakes. It's better for our future that they gain as much experience as possible.

PLEASE!!! I'm so tired of this guy it's not even funny. He's had enough chances and i'd rather give Morris a shot than waste any more time with James. He's not part of our future plans anyway, so screw him.

I just hope that people will like me

Here's some more details on the Randolph thing as well as other info:

During a break in the Rookie Transition Program yesterday, I noticed Randolph Morris reaching for a snack. It sure looks as though he spent a portion of the summer consuming the right kind of calories. He showed up with trophy arms last season, but is clearly more defined in all of the right places.
The baby fat is gone. The extra bulk will help.
“I hope so, I hope so,” Morris said, while “I’ve been working out and taking care of my body.”
He’s going to need the muscle to lean on Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry in practice.
Wilson Chandler has been training and playing in Atlanta most of the summer, but will soon be settling into a temporary apartment in Westchester until a new condo is built. He’s been stopping in at the MSG Training Center every once in a while, too. Getting some court time with veteran teammates is always helpful.
“They’ve been easing me into things,” Chandler said. “They’ve been telling me kind of what I can expect from Zeke. They’ve been telling me, no matter what, keep playing hard and stay positive because he likes that.”
Chandler only needs to ask Renaldo Balkman for confirmation there.
Demetris Nichols remains in a holding pattern.
While he confirmed there have not been any contract negotiations, it appears the second-rounder with long-distance range will be in training camp with the Knicks.
“I’m definitely going to Charleston,” Nichols said.
And playing a year in Europe is no longer an option?
“Right,” Nichols said. “I’m not even talking about that.”
I’m not sure if the declining production is a result of a bad attitude or a bad knee, and the cost involved seems a bit ridiculous, but Andrei Kirilenko is asking the Utah Jazz for a trade. He did the deed via blog, citing a frayed relationship with coach Jerry Sloan. This guy fills a few of the most glaring needs on the Knicks’ roster. Any takers? Utah will undoubtedly start the discussion by asking for David Lee or Renaldo Balkman.
As for the open practice, the Knicks will be on the court at Hofstra for all to see, but I’m told a date is still being finalized. They appear to be looking at the last two weeks in October.
He’s not late by any means, but Zach Randolph still has not been seen working out with new teammates at the MSG Training Facility.

MAN what the FREAK are you talking about? Morris wasn't here last summer. I don't recall saying anything like this about Malik or James last year. In any event what if I did? What's wrong with what I said?

No... No...
Nothing wrong.
Just same statemnt but about other players.
I mean it is all same old sh..t. Just other names.
I want to hear something like this:
"Knicks starting new season with set rotation of proven players with the addition off...."
Just dreaming.

We have to allow time for things to get settled. Last year Isiah was trying to establish things and he had to be allowed time to observe how certain lineups worked. He made some decisions based on what he saw and thus we got rid of Francis and Frye and brought in Zach. There are only a couple of serious options for the starting lineup so in effect we do have a rotation with proven players.

If by proven you mean BETTER players then that's a different issue.
Steph, Q, Jared, Zach & Curry

Steph, Jamal, Q, Zach & Curry

Steph, Q, Lee, Zach & Curry etc.

To me it doesn't really matter. His rotation should be filled with guys that can get it done, so i'm not really that concerned with who starts. The best guys should finish games and I expect more wins this year, so that's all that matters.

Jared's playing time was going down as the season went on. I think Balkman will move ahead of him this season. I see a starting lineup of

Eddy, Zach, Q, Craw and Steph
With Lee, Balkman and either Nate or Collins getting the lions share of the minutes off the bench. Isaiah has said that he intends to go with an eight or nine man rotation this season.

This is sooo sad.
I am not at all interesting in looking at these guys played.
I guess I will switch TV on after 1st when most of the "count contract money first starters" will sit.
