If true, this is the kind of out of the box thinking that I like.

Rose is not the answer.

Pryz is everything I hoped Timy would be. He'll really help us on the boards. The only concern with him is durability.

And his contract expires after this year. He's perfect.

Even as a FA next season he would be great. If we can sign him we would have him joining Turiaf and Mozgov off the bench, leaving us with depth at the center position that we would need to defend big teams and in case injury were to hit. Przybilla would be a great addition though.

I have no problem with adding Camby or Pryz or anyone for that matter, but I can almost guarantee that MDA will have a problem with it. I like what MDA has done big fan of his but just not getting the vibe that he wants a true center.

I ahve no doubt he wants some size and depth off the bench. He got Steven Hunter paid. He liked JJSkinny... we need another big

If not we will get killed on the boards and burn out Amear. We won't beat the Lakers, San Antone, Orlando, and other teams with a true center and a good team.

Used to be a big fan of his earlier in his career...haven't noticed him lately. Would he work in this kind of system? No point bringing in a player that MDA won't play

To be fair, he did give Moz a shot until he proved he was ready.

Don't get me wrong -- I think this guy could help us if he's healthy but how do we do this? We're right at the cap; Portland is about $10M over. So it would have to be a salary for salary trade..Prizbilla makes a little over $7.4M this year..What are we giving Portland in this deal?? I'm not giving them any of our good young assets -- Chandler, AR, Fields, TD are all off the table. Portland's gonna want something though, bank on it -- a decent young player or a pick..Even Moz -- he needs work but he's young and there's potential there..Do we give him away in this deal to bring in a 1-yr rental that may not even be healthy?? I'd like to think we might be able to get a 1st round pick for Moz at some time down the road or include him in a trade for something big eventually..I'd even have a slight problem giving the Blazers one of our 2nd tier young players for this guy -- Shawne Williams, Walker or Rautins.. That leaves a package built around Curry (where we'd have to take back more than Priz; Curry makes more than him, almost $3.5M more)..I mean maybe something built around Turiaf where we could conceivably unload Turiaf's salary for next year ($4.36M) but why would Portland do it? I don't see it...FA Dwayne Jones or productive NBDL Cs Chris Johnson or Courtney Sims are all much better options imho.

Uptown, That is correct he did give Mozgov a shot, he relegated him to the bench and completely scrapped the idea of him coming into games. That is not giving a player a shot. That is basically saying that your not fit to be in my system your done. That is what he does, that is not the way you coach. He goes back to what he feels comfortable with which is basically running a pf at center. That is part of his speed ball system that he runs. I personally think he wouldn't be able to utilize Patrick Ewing into his system. Only one I could think could fit his system would be a center like Hakeem he was more like a pf/c type a lot like Amare. MDA basically kills the idea of having a center. MDA doesn't have a clue as to utilizing a legit center into his system.

YOu don't give up on the moz unless he has gone from starter to lost cause status which I don't think happend.

If we are looking at narrow contender window then you can change thinking.

Moz has all the tools just not the mechanics in place.

You need center who can drain a shot 15-20 feet and draw out a defender allowing Amare to do his thing without too much traffic. One who can also defend the low post and take a pounding.

Basically Moz type who understands NBA defense and catch a pass.

Don't give up on THE MOZ just yet.

I don't think the fans have given up on Mozgov, what might be the case is that MDA has given up on Mozgov and AR, which is basically on par for the way he sees true centers. BRIGGS migh have it right look to get Carl Landry that might meet MDA style a PF to play Center.

I don't think this is an MDA thing with Moz and randolph but the fact these guys are not executing thier assignments and others are.

If you play guys that are not executing you run the risk of losing your team.

MDA knows the minutes and knows he has to go to his bench but the bench is not getting it done. Galvanizing a unit into a winning unit is a priority and it is building a winning culture.

It may not be sustainable but I get what MDA is trying to do. ITs not about the Dog house, its about the rest of the house! Dogs belong in the dog house and their play puts them there.

They'll get more opportunities. Just not this week.

Lets hope they get an opportunity. But I seriously doubt its the players. I see Amare, Chandler and Gallo miss assignments all the time why do you think the Knicks are giving up so many points. It isn't right to scrutinize Mozgov's mistakes and AR's and not the others. Mistakes are made in the course of the game. MDA needs to wake up this winning that is going on is nice we all love it but he has to have AR and Mozgov game ready and he is doing a poor job of having them ready. Its not always the players sometimes its the coach not being able to utilize the players to meet his system. I truely believe that MDa doesn't know how to utilize centers into his system.

It is fair. This happens all the time. If you can put up 15-20 points, grab 10 rebounds etc. then your occassional blown assingments can be ignored. IF you score 2 points a game, turn the ball over 3 times, forget the offense, hold the ball, drop a couple passes, then your blown defensive assignements can not be ignored.

People really need to get over this notion that Mike doesn't play Centers. Sure he doesn't want at big bum or a talented Kid that isn't ready, but he clearly has been searching for someone to help Amare. Any C we add has to be able to not only Defend and Rebound, but also be able to keep up with our pace and hit some shots.
