First of all feel free to comment and add your own insight to what i think.
I am a big preacher of defense first and defense wins championships. Good Defense is consistent and imperative to night in and out success. So as you can imagine I have a huge problem with the hiring of d'antoni and his nonchalant view on defense. I can't stand how our team is composed of a bunch of one domensional offensive players who have never won anything on the collegiate or professional level. I was devastated when westbrook was picked fourth because i felt he could change the makeup of this team with his defensive prescence. Then we pick a one dimensional offensive player in Gallinari which was dissapointing, however he does have heart which is more than we can say about the majority of our roster which i like in the kid. I am absolutely puzzled how Donnie Walsh did't aquire a second round pick to draft a player like Joey Dorsey, Kyle Weaver, Mario Chalmers, or CDR. Dorsey, a great defender, rebounder, and floor runner, could have fit into this team perfrctly and made up for the deficiencies of bums like randolph and curry. I think we need to get rid of crawford (worst winning percentage in nba, curry is third worst last i checked)and randolph first. Players like this are chuckers and ruin team chemistry i could go on forever but lets just leave it as these players being the biggest losers on the face of the earth. I think we should try and acquire heinrich, i have always liked his all around game. Another topic for discussion is the signing of undrafted players. i got a good look at jamont gordon in the ncaa tournament and he looks like the real deal, big point guard, excellent handle, rebounds, defends, all around player. Another player i do not know much about but looks like and intriguing prospect is davon jefferson from usc, he is very skilled from what i have seen and looks like he has a strong frame that can easily be added on to.
sorry for this being so long i tried to keep it as short as possible believe it or not lol.

They guy wins, and we are so far from championship we cannot even begin to wig out on this team and the coach for at least two years.

Sez who?

YOu think we are close to winning a championship?

You think we can sort this roster out properly in less than two years? If you want to wig out and be typical starphuch whining knick fan who wants big names to save us then be my guest. Im always for rebuilding and if that means some pain so beit.

I personally believe under the right coach our team is better than our record. I also believe D'antoni can construct a winner and when the time comes to fine tune for a championship run then you start to put the final pieces together.

THis is my take on the current situation. While I am very hopeful D'antoni creates some magic on this roster and can get us close to .500, if walsh is serious about creating cap space then im not looking for saviors to come in, nor trades that will impact the here and now unless we take on salary. And that is not happening according to plan.

Of course it seems like half the teams are also wanting to create cap space!
