1.) tony parker- obvious since he would be set loose in this system. i also think he is a pg who can do well in ANY system but flourish in d'antoni. one thing that he gives us that has been missing from the 1 position is smart plays. he will be an extension to d'antoni and he would flourish to the point of nash. can we get him? hmmm, that is another thing entirely. tho i dont doubt he wants to come here the question is if we have the assets to get him either. we would need to trade with a third team in mind because it has been reported tha sa doesnt want anyone on our team. so the possibility of this is slim for now.

2.) monta ellis- i heard that this is our plan c which is not bad. i am not down on manta like everyone else but he is a straight gunner. this system is perfect for getting his shots but we will ask for him to distribute a lot more than he did in gs. he can but expect high turnover rate in the beginning. the one thing i like is that he can penetrate at will and will get the calls. he is an exciting player also which the fans will like.

3.) raymond felton- i dont know why people are so down on him. is he really that bad? he has a good assist to turnover ratio and he is a better distributer than people give him credit for. he can shoot the mid range and have three point range. he is quick enough to get into the lane and strong enough to finish plays. his numbers are not outstanding but he will flourish in this system. so what he did not do well in the playoffs. its hsi first experience. i think he would do well here.

those are my choices, not the likes of luke ridnour or any other scrub.

because no one wants to be a 30 win team again next year.

Provocative post. In Briggs' Lee vs Amare thread you said that Amare was the better player without arguing for your boy. Your words:

(Amare is a much better player than Lee so lets not talk about that.)

Lee's game has basically become that of a good rebounding SF. His midrange shot has become almost automatic without someone guarding him, and he is supposedly trying extend his range. He is also a better ball handler than Amare, and MDA was allowing him to be a point forward at times.

Lee did benefit from the guards we did have at point, and had a lot of success with the pick and roll, so just because we did not have a big name PG does not mean he was not the recipient of some good passes as a Knick. Amare is a more traditional PF, IMO, and I think he will need a decent PG, or a player with point abilities, to maximize his game.

If you want to say that Lee is the better player, say it.

Think he would come this season if we get his rights!!

I agree with not wanting Jefferson but he is a valuable asset in a 3 way trade for Cp3 or Melo

Maybe Ellis or Mayo

Having Curry's expiring and cash and picks we have lots of options to make deals...

I could see Melo being traded after all the FA sign... Especially if most have new homes!!

Next year the structure will be Different small markets might be fukced and I think thats
why players are deciding the NBA structure now!!

No small markets are in play!!

I say just knowing we have value for our assets proves alot of people wrong!!
