With D'Antoni here does that mean Q will start again for another season?

We all know that D'Antoni did like Q on the Suns. I feel it is time for Chandler to get playing time over Q.

I assume this team will be more of a run and gun style that will be organized so Balkman is going to be a key player. Last season Balkman looked disinterested. With Isiah gone I think many players will be reenergized.

The advantage that Chandler has over Balkman is he can play both ends of the court. It also looks like Walsh is a fan of Jeffries so it is going to be interesting at the sf spot.

Q is done in this league as a starter. At this point, He's a decent 10th man at the end of your bench. If he's in your top 8 rotation, your team has problems.

yeah, i agree w/u on Chandler... i think Jefferies would be more suitable to play the PF backing up D Lee in an uptempo style, but then the big problem is we still have Zach on the roster... i'd rather not see fishlips playing at all to be honest... why do u get the idea Walsh is high on Jefferies Big balla?

He was their starting SG/SF. They traded him because he was a complete no show against San Antonio.

that was:

PG Nash
SG Q
SF Joe Johnson
PF Marion
C Amare

Walsh said he really likes Jeffries at the press conference.

He like Jefferies because he saw him play all his life in Indiana. Jefferies was Mr. Basketball for Indiana as a HS player. And later watched Jefferies take Indiana to the final 4 in College.

Don't tell me you are not excited to see Jeffries on a fastbreak doing finger rolls on 6 feet point guards while Jeffries stands at 6'11.

I want nothing to do with QRich next year. I was watching some old footage of the 94 Knicks, and all those guys were diesel. Everybody was in excellent shape. Now we have guys like QRich, who cant hit an open jumpshot because his neckfat throws his form off. Dump this bum. Id rather start Nate at the three.

i'm more ecstatic about the prospect of seeing Jefferies pulling up for midrange jumpers off a fastbreak

That would make him most suitable for the 24th man now on a 12 man roster...sounds about right!

You're right. I thought he was an effective sixth man out there.

The key to making this team a little better will have to be getting them to mesh together, working harder and putting it all on the line or else you 'sit'! Plain and simple.

I'm sure D'Antoni will evaluate each player and try to figure out who starts and who comes off the bench.

I have a feeling that there will be a better response because the depressive dark cloud has now lifted. I feel that the players will be in a much more positive atmosphere and they may respond well to that.

Here are some examples of the personalities that went on and how isiah let it go on:

Nate attacking Rose in shower over two bucks.
Zach throwing water in Nate's face.
The bad mouthing that had been going on about the coach to the media.
As well as outside problems, Q's brother being killed and curry getting tied up.

There are other things that went on but did you guys ever notice something with all of this? There was never any discipline that I was aware of. Never any fines, which is highly unusual and so it was just left out there, unresolved and kept building. How many times have you guys seen players actually give up in a game? Plenty! A clear sign that there where way too many distractions off the court.

I think you'll see a stronger response come next season. Not enough to get us into the playoffs, I don't think and not unless something drastic happens, like we get the top draft pick or something, but I think this team will improve better under new management. One without personality and one who won't take any bull**** from anyone anymore.
I'll never trust this' team again.
