The Knicks haven't had a true SF in 10+ years. Denver now has three SF's and they arent trading skita or Anthony. I find us in the opportunity to use the Milos Vujonic asset[Denver as of now has no PG]to swap need for need. Yes we could also use a high qulaity PG but if we cant trade--Im warmimg up to the idea of grabbing TJ Ford if we have to sit in our spot. That being said my primary--and I think it should be the Knicks goal is to some how trade up to 4 and take Bosh.If we offered Torotnto Thomas Sprewell the 9 and 31 for Antonio davis and pick 4 and a small cap filler--it would be an exciting trade. Personally i dont think any team is going to win with Thomas davis or sprewell.

But I like the idea of building a team around
6-11 215 PF Chris Bosh 19 years old
6-9 235 SF Rodney White 22 years old.

If Rodney had stayed in school at came out for his junior year he would have been drafted 2-5 this year. he really came on last year putting up a triple double against dallas and a few near triple doubles. If we did a Milos Vujonic Othella Harrington 2.4mm[covers harringtons pay and gets him out of here]
Pick 38 James Lang
If we signed Chris Mihm to a 3 year 4.5mm per$

Our 9 man lineup would be
C- 7 0 265 ChrisMihm
PF 6-9 245 Antonio Davis
SF 6-9 235 Rodney White
SG 6-6 200 Allan Houston
PG 6-2 180 Howard Eisley
C- Doleac 6-11 265
PF Bosh 6-11 215
SG Andersen 6-6 200
PG Ward 6-2 180

Lang
Williams
Spoon
IR-dice Knight

White could probably be picked up without too much trouble. I'd take a shot on the guy but, I wouldn't give up the rights to Vujonic to get him.

What that we need younger players with skill athletiscm and size?

Im sorry Carmelo Anthony is not coming to the Knicks. We need to get younger and bigger--to me PG is like 4-5 on the list and I would do what i needed to do to acquire a REAL athletic SF with all-around skill. the minute I saw Denver got the tree pick made me realize we could swipe White. Now he played well enough last year--including a triple double against Dallas--that they are not going to give him away for a bag of beans. They want high quality prospect and we have one that they can use. If we are stuck at position 9 and TJ ford comes down--I dont see how we would bypass him making Vujonic even more unecessary.

TJ ford is the last thing the KNicks need he is Damon Stoudamire without the shooting touch. At 5'10'' he is a defensive liability waiting to happen. I don't think any NYK fan wants to go that route. TJ ford in my opionion is a middle first round pick if not low first round. He has Speedy Claxton written all over him. As for White I can't see denver parting with him because he did put up decent numbers and will only get better. Denver will part with Camby before they part with an inexpensive player like White who by the way can play pf also. I can see Denver take Anthony and play him at the sg position add Arenas to the team and they have their future set. If you want a player that can be had then you need to go to the Warriors and find out about Dunlevey. They really don't have a place to play him and they definitely want to get Arenas back. I can see the Warriors parting with Dunlevey for say the 9th and Ward, they buy out ward making room to sign Arenas.

... and he can't penetrate. You're absolutely right about TJ Ford. In my opinion, he has NBA bust written all over him.

On Dunleavy... not really K, he came on during the second half of the season. He'll never live up to being the third pick in the first round but, he could become a decent player in this league.

... neither do I, Prod.
