what the Knicks can will and should do is try to buy more late picks. Its the best way to fill out the roster with cheap players that have guarenteed contracts. It might cost up front money but wont hurt the cap.
I think Toney Douglas, Dejuan Blair and Chase Budinger were all guys that had some NBA skills and could help you fill out a rotation "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

If Greivis Vasquez is available, I'll be stoked... and I know that another SF definitely isn't a need, but I'll be happy with Tyler Smith if he happens to fall

Where are Courtney Fells, Brandon Costner, Ben McCauley, Tyrese Rice and Josh Shipp right now? Anyone know? Can't find any information on where these guys went...

Supposedly he's really worked hard on his jumper. Gotta get that shooting % up, that's the only thing with him. Still remember that game where he ripped up NC last year on TV. Big and talented, no question about it... I like Smith too. He's a pretty good player. I remember Dionte Christmas lighting him up last year though... |

Are we talking packaging the two picks and moving up? I think it's possible if you find a team in the 18-24 range let's say, that's happy with what they have and have no incentive to add a guaranteed rookie contract to their roster, and want to save the lux tax implications of doing so. It's possible.

MD is only as good as he is every night and there were times MD looked dangerous. I think Smith isn't perfect and has flaws to his game. But he reminds me of Batum/Budinger in that his name was ALWAYS on the mock drafts, but never real high, and people started thinking there was something wrong because they were on the draftboard for so long or something. But if he's available I'd grab him because there's really no risk. The team probably won't though because he has no three point shot, despite having a great offensive repertoire, and contributing significantly to rebounds, steals, and assists DLeethal wrote:

is the perfect coach for him, for a few reasons. We're officially the founding members of the "Draft Greivis Vazquez In the Second" bandwagon|

By the way, I think it is effing hysterical that eight games in and the most interesting thread on uk.com is the "what to do with our second" thread

It's possible. We bought the Douglas pick. The Denver pick is actually the better of the Denver #2 and the Clippers #2, as far as I can recall. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind.
