Since Walsh is gone I think this is gonna be the team for the full year for a change and if they play well I don't see major happenings from the guard position. I think Billups pulls a Jason Kidd and forces organization hand to reward him with atleast a 2 year deal at considerably less than what we'll pay for CP3. I see us adding a solide big before adding a guard if Chauncey plays well and other guards play well. I think Chris Paul might be overkill.

I can't see how starting a rookie will be beneficial to the Knicks at this time.

See Fields, 2010-2011.

At this time. Last year was nice as playoffs were the expected now there is a whole level of different expectation, why go to battle with a rookie all over again when last year's rookie has a year under his belt. Makes no sense to revert back when going forward yields better results. Now if Shumpert blows everyone out of the water with his play then maybe he deserves to start.

Great. So your point is that if Shumpert is better than Fields, Shumpert should start, otherwise Fields should start.

Did I sum it up right?

For next year I got this opening day
PG-Billups
SG-Fields
SF-Anthony
PF-Amare
C-Turiaf

I have a feeling we will have a heavy dose of Billups, Fields, Williams(assuming he resigns), Anthony and Amare. Sounds a lot like last year.

I think Turiaf is going to get supplanted by either Jerome Jordan or Jorts.

Thats my hope. I haven't seen Jordan so no idea how much he has improved. I've only seen Jorts play twice in college and think he is an NBA player but think he has some developing to do before he gets a starting job. I'm hoping they both end up better then Turiaf but I have this sneaking suspicion neither will be ready come opening day. If there is one.
