This from today's New York Post:
Layden has had numerous conversations with Polynice's agent, Dwight Manley, since the start of preseason but refuses to pull the trigger, even though the 36-year-old 7-foot veteran is willing to play for the $1 million veteran's minimum.

If Polynice is in shape, he represents an upgrade over Spencer, who has started all five of the Knicks' games in Camby's absence and is an offensive embarrassment. Blowing virtually every layup he gets, Spencer is shooting 2 of 8 from the field. Averaging 2.8 points. Spencer basically starts to keep reserves Othella Harrington and Clarence Weatherspoon out of foul trouble, bang some bodies and grab some boards.

Layden has also passed on free agent Otis Thorpe and recently waived players such as Will Perdue, Derrick McKey and Dickey Simpkins.

What the heck is wrong with Layden? I understand that the aformentioned players are not the most gifted in the world, but surely they'd be better than Felt.

And why doesn't JVG give Travis Knight a chance? If he can't get 5 minutes a game now, then he never will. So if he's not good enough, why not waive him?
We suck.

OK, I'm all over the 'bad' word filter tonight.

Yeah i really think we need to pick him up as long as he's an upgrade over Spencer. I also think we need to offer up Thomas or Harrington for a legit center now like LaFrentz or Foyle because Ward and Jackson are not drawing too much attention. Also, what about Priest Lauderdale who just recently got waived by Portland? He might not be great, but he's 7-4, 325lbs and signing him to a 10 day contract wouldn't hurt. Either way, if Camby's going to be out for awhile, we need something bad.

What makes you think Layden would be able to pull off a deal like this?

10 day contracts can not be signed yet... I think they can be signed AFTER Feb. 15th or whatever the trading deadline is.

Yeah i forgot you're right about that. My prediction is he'll be hearing the offers at that time. I wouldn't mind picking him up for now. We could always cut him.
