From this article Starks says:

"... the Knicks need another shooter than a backup two-guard. You have to bring somebody off the bench that's going to be consistent in knocking down shots. Also, you have to have somebody who's going to command double-teams for guys like Howard Eisley, who used to be a spot-up shooter when he was with Utah. He shot the ball very well in that system. I'm not sure who can fulfill that role right now, but if someone can step up to the plate who can demand double-teams, then you can see guys like Eisley and Shandon Anderson doing their jobs much better."

You know, Starks is right on with that comment. If the Knicks had someone who was double teamed in the post consistently, I bet that would hide some of the faults of Eisley and Anderson. I don't think Anderson would become a good outside shooter, but he would be able to drive to the basket with a little more freedom.

McDyess? maybe? If he comes back close to his previous ability?

This is why Layden's plan was good from the beginning(dyess-kvh), injuries has just delayed the the initial plan.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

McDyess may be back before the holidays or before New Year's...

Hopefully he stays back this time.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!
