In interviews with the media on Thursday, Donnie Walsh sounded excited about the NBA draft in June, apparently believing this year's class is stronger than most are projecting.

Walsh thinks he can improve the Knicks' roster even though he will be reluctant to take on contracts that will cut into the team's cap room for the summer of 2010.

Regarding the skepticism of beat reporters, Walsh stated that the media "said the same thing to me, that I wouldn't be able to get enough money for 2010, but we did."

Walsh also complimented New York fans on their understanding of the salary cap and ability to see the Knicks' long-term plan.

"They act like they understand, which is surprising, because I've never seen a town understand a cap like this one," Walsh said.

Lets all hope that this means the Knicks will be active in attaining another pick, preferably in the purchasing fashion.

So does that mean we take back Malik Rose to get another pick and will it be acceptable now by the fanbase? There's nothing like rebuilding on the fly.

he's save the franchise a boat load of money dumping Zach and Crawford. Hopefully the show of fiscal responsibility post Isiah allows him to do that.

i'm telling u guys this draft is a lot better than some of the sports writers out there are making it out to be... there's at least 3 guys w/genuine superstar potential, & a good amount of guys who project to be very good IMHO.

On a related note, he was on the Brandon Tierney show today. It's an honest, low-bull**** interview.

Brandon Tierny is a great interviewer. He asks the hard questions no other reporter dares to. I c hecked out the interview, and I appreciate Donnie Walsh's honest, no bs responses. He is a golden person.

BT is my favorite NY radio sports talk show host... he tells it like it is, & doesn't try to be all controversial & gimmicky like Steven A & doesn't have a stick up his arse like Michael Kay.

Francesca is also pretty good. Kay is a sleaze bucket!

I saw Marc Berman on some MSG documentary last night, he is a retardo. I hope he reads this.

oh man, i can't stand Fat Mike... he's so damn arrogant, like his opinion is the only one that matters... BT's not like that, he takes in the points u wanna make if u call in & he'll respect ur opinion even if he doesn't agree w/u (unless u'r just being a moron like some callers)

What about skinny Mike on Mike and Mike? I think Big Mike is cooler, but Little Mike is okay too.

Greenie's got a stick up his arse too... he's funny at times but he lets his Yankee hate shade his opinions a lot of times also... Golic annoys me w/his Chicaaahga / Philly accent & he really knows nothing about baseball or hoops.

u know who i think is good is Don LaGreca, if not for his incessant butt kissing of Michael Kay... other than that he's pretty knowledgeable on NY sports & isn't a jerk to callers.

he's on 1050, does the Michael Kay show as his sidekick & on weekends he's got his own show i think around noon or so... haven't caught his show for a while but i think he still comes on... he does a lot of hockey talk too so if you're into the Rangers or Islanders u'll enjoy his show.

Ah ok, thats cool - I'll try and catch him one day. I personally hate ESPN radio, sans Kellerman whose gone and Scott Van Pelt whose about to be gone or is gone now (from radio atleast). And I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Michael Kay.
