I always liked the way Balkman played. Stoned? WE AIN'T NOWHERE WITH THIS BUM CHOKER IN CARMELO. GIVE ME STARKS'S 2-21 ANY DAY OVER THIS LACKLUSTER CLUSTEREFF.

Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years.
First Leon move I hate

Remember he became a Knick because Isiah was convinced D'Antoni wanted him in Phoenix.

I did miss the balk....he provided that energy and spark we needed at times...my only issue is they said he didnt play in denver becasue he couldnt remember the plays.

Balk did a good job when he got PT here. Its not his game that people have a problem with.

That's the great thing about MDA - no plays! He can just go out an launch 3's. Seriously - I loved when he was here- he was a difference maker - not all the time, but in spurts - great defense, loved the helter/skelter play in transition. |

Sorry - you missed the [sarcasm] tag. But really - its not plays as much as it is a system - which is different. Part of me misses Hubie Brown calling every single play for Sparrow & Walker! |

He is probably one of the worst players in the league, but he has some unique skills.
Sounds like he might get cut now. Alan Hahn:

There is just something about the guy that I don't like, maybe it's because of his link to the Zeke days but I seriously would like to see him gone. I highly doubt MDA is going to use him so we might as well fill the roster spot with someone who can contribute - if that's possible. Sure - free Balkman and don't let the door hit him on the way out. "If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you just SUCK." Kenny Powers

I like Balkman. I hoped he would turn into a decent small forward but he really has not applied himself to developing his offense game. He seems to just to be coasting on hustle, but that is not enough in today's NBA. The only reason why we might not cut him is if we can trade him for a pick, we can remove his salary. If we cut him, his salary will still count against the salary cap.

Seth over at P&T saying Balkman will be bought out in order to pursue a FA...Why Balkman? Don't get me wrong--I don't think he can play & want him gone but if we buy him out, don't we still hold his salary on the books for the next couple of years?? I don't want that..Buy out Azu, Mason (we have Brewer now--no need in the world to keep either of these guys anymore) or Shelden Williams instead and carry over Balkman to see if we can trade him during the off-season or next year so we can permanently remove that salary..
