Knicks could do worse with a true point guard on their roster for the next 2 years before 2015 free agency.

Felton/Prigioni/Beno aren't getting it done with all these turnovers.

As long as it doesn't involve Shumpert or draft picks, why not?

Nash is done, he's been terrible for the Lakers. We need a speedy young two-way player as our point, not a dinosaur who's never played defense in his life. Nash would only hold us back, he'd reduce turnovers but we'd be giving up so many easy buckets it wouldn't matter. NO MORE OVER THE HILL PLAYERS!

He can break down (again) at any time. Do we really want to play Kidd, Camby and the Geriatric bunch again?

I hear what you guys are saying, but what point guards are out there? It's clear Woodson doesn't have an inkling of how to coach offense.

This is a 2 year rental, at least if we're going to play ISO ball, have someone that can hit shots from the PG position.

He had to take the second game off since he was in pain after the first game. I am sorry but we do not need anymore geriatrics on the roster. If we are going to make a trade it should be for a PG that drives to the rim constantly. Someone like maybe Lin, LOL. I saw a stat on NBA TV that he was top 2 in drives to the hoop and scores from drives to the hoop. Since he left we have constantly been a jump shooting team.

We need someone without the name othervise papa Melo will not accept the trade and we need owners signature.
And no, I do not mean Dolan. Melo and his agency are owning the Knicks.

If this was the Nash of 2 or 3 years ago, this would be a no brainer. Alas, only hope in a decent PG is 2015 free agency, or possibly the draft.

Reading you talk about melo taking a paycut has me thinking. There is NO way I would ever pay melo the max contract that is coming up. Melo is too flawed a player to pay him 30mil a year with yearly increases.

anything over $17 is too much for me, and that may be too high too.

But since we are on the subject, having Nash as a back up would be nice. I thought the old player thing worked pretty good last year as we won 54 games! What did the rest of you imagine was the reason for the first time in 19 years we finished in 1st place? We had some good bench support!

LA wants to dump his salary and Toronto can starphuch its native son! I wonder if LA does a package and gets Rudy Gay?

Woud suck for melo to have Lakes not bid on him. He did a toast with CP3 but Clipps would have to sign and trade.

Lets talk about how much Blake Griffin sucks now.
