uh, why would we deal ALL of that for Rodney White? Rodney White is now junk in Denver with the imminent drafting of SF Carmelo Anthony.

PLUS Rodney White has been a BUST so far in the league, and he vomited all over the garden floor during a game this past season.

Othella harrington is worth more than white. Pick # 38 (which is 39), is probably going to be a player with more potential than Rodney White.

Why do we need to extend KT? Why extend Doleac? Doleac never did things that any normal 7 foot center in the league should be able to do.

Why get Chris Mihm? He's been stagnant since he came into the League, other than torching the Knicks once or twice. Troy Bell? Yeah, right. I'm sure Frank Williams has more game than Bell, and Bell is probably just an undersized SG. I know Bell can light it up, but not when it counts most, period. If we had to go with an AMERICAN, college, UNDERSIZED SG, who plays the point guard position, i'd go with - MARCUS HATTEN, period. Hatten get's it done with the game, and the big games, on the line. If Hatten is still around at 39, i'd give him a look.

i actually like othella. real cheap and he is a decent bench player.

Othella is a guy you would love on your roster but if you have the immovable Spoon on your roster, Othella has to go. I'd rather the Knicks get rid of Othella and just role with Spoon as the back up because Spoon is gonna be here for about 4 more years regardless.

Othella, Ward, Travis, Pope, Nailon, and Postel all should be given the pink slip. Add McDyess to that list and you have 6 roster spots to fill with young guys from the draft.

Knicks got 3 picks and then have room to add more youth through the mid level exemption. Maybe the knicks can get a late pick with Othella. Maybe send Othella to the Lakers for their pick.

Frank has gotta play at least 25 minutes per, Spree's minues have got to be reduced and the Knicks just have to form an identity and stop telling fans that "we are a couple of pieces away from being good again. They gotta say "we are trying our best to change the Knicks so that it refects the passion of the fans and it's city, starting with guys we develop in house"

Amen.

I agree with prodson:

Why should we extend Doleac? why?

And drafting Sweetney? I thought we had othella already..

Anyway I do like Rodney white but right now his stock is low and with Denver having the chance at Carmello or Darko he is gone, I would offer him less money, if not no need to spend that much cheese on player that will not make the knicks that much better, i rather use our picks on these young cats, there are a lot c
omming out in the draft, and let them develop. Believe it or not until the knicks understand that you have to develop young cheap talent and blend them in with good veteran players, you will always be over the cap and low in the talent department...
