With Moochie Norris here the backup PG spot should go to him as he fits the style of play the Knicks play these days. We still don't really have a backup SG. Personally I'm expecting a move for one trading either Ward or Eisly, and considering nobody in their right mind will take Eisly, Ward will probably be traded for a backup 2. But then again, somebody took Spoon, so who knows, just let Thomas work his magic. One bad contract that plays SG and can be imagined to be traded for Eisly is Eddie Robinson on the Bulls, that deal sounds somewhat similar to the one for Moochie, but even more farfetched. Either way it looks like both Ward and Eisly are not in the Knicks short-term or long-term future and that is great.

And then maybe we can figure out a way to trade for Tim Duncan from San Antonio who is a pretty Solid PF and can play some center for McDyess. They might do it because Dice's contract ends this year and they get cap relief.

Our Lineup would be:
FWill
T-Mac
KVH
Duncan
Deke
I think we can do some damage in the EAST!

Ward is a raelly good BACKUP point gaurd cant u guys see how he has been playin durin our hot streak he is doin good

he has always played pretty well.. sure he has his moments.. but thats why he is a BACKUP not a starter

he is a way better backup than eisley and even moochie

let mooch play backup 2 and get rid of eisley

eisley sucks

eisley sucks...

he sucks.

Ward is a far better backup PG that Moochie, even if Moochie can penetrate a little more. Ward is a better passer, EONS better defender, and a better open shooter. Moochie really isnt very good, but he might fit in here better. I'd rather have Moochie play some backup 2 and be here next year as insurance for Frank and Vujanic. Let Ward stay this year and play out his deal. If they could do Eisley for Eddie Robinson I'd stand up and cheer, even if Robinson is an underachiever. Robinson is just an extra defender off the bench.

Tho I hate Ward's godsquading righteousness, think he's a dirty player ... and not particularly exciting, I'd hate to see him gone in a buyout/salary dump. The team is worse w/ Moochie replacing him, and I could care less if Cablevision saves some $.

So let's hope we trade the guy instead of dumping him. Just don't pick up a salary that goes more than a couple of years. There's got to be some interest in Ward. And because we're absolutely screwed cap wise for a couple of years anyway, we have some leeway in who we pick up.

Clearly, we need a serviceable back-up 2, especially since H20's shouldn't be playing more than 30-35 minutes until he's fully healthy. Maybe we lose a little replacing Ward w/ Moochie, but if we add at the backup 2, where we're really weak now, it would more than make up for it.
