If the rumor is true, we will get Jerome Williams, Lamond Murray and the fourth pick. We can use the fourth pick to select Maciej Lampe, a 7 foot center out of Poland, and he can play small forward. He is just 18 and people are already comparing him to Dirk and Gasol. I would put Maciej Lampe at small forward, I believe with his height, and ball handling skill, he can outmatch any small forward in the east. With our two second round picks, we should try to look for a quality big man if there is any. I want someone who can rebound and block shot. Lets think about this way, if McDyess can still play, and he is healthy, we can have ourself a championship team; but of course, Maciej Lampe is the key, if he can become someone like Dirk, not another Keith Van Horn.

Our Starting Five
C - Kurt Thomas(or someone is higher than 6'9'')
PF - McDyess(if he can still play) or Jerome Williams(give us more energy)
SF - Maciej Lampe
SG - Allan Houston
PG - Howard Eisley or Frank Williams(if he can play better)

With these starting five, I think the knicks would be more fun to watch.

i agree... i actually think that if this deal goes down, layden wont be run out of town as expected (unless this turns out to be a total disaster)

big mistake by comparing Dirk or Gasol to any international prospect. This is a mistake many make. There will never be nother Dirk or Gasol. You have to look at a player based on their "own" game.

I want bosh at 4 also. I keep hearing how he is skinny and not ready to bang. I don't care, this kid will be good in a couple of years, actually very good, and that is what the knicks need, I mean if we pick a player that can contribute now, what good is that to a team that needs a overhaul?..

knicks always could trade for one. lorenzen wright and theo ratliff should be available.

RECOGNIZE people, last yr the Mcdyess trade wasn't known until draft day, all these rumors are bogus like a 6 dollar bill. You won't know what the knicks will do until Stern gets on the mike and starts calling teams in draft order!

Exactly, nobody had any clue it was McDone that we would end up with. It was a huge surprise to everyone. Hopefully this years surprise will actually play for us and have some impact other then a negative one. It always makes draft day interesting but I am tired of watching the Knicks mess up their chances.

i agree,Bosh should be the 4th pick if the knicks do get it.Bosh is 6'11 and a 1/2 feet tall and may reach 7'.This guy could become a Jermain O'Neal type player.The only thing he needs to do really is add a few more pounds.Eventually it will happen,look at Camby.

Bosh already has more skills than Camby.
