They get a good as they possibly can with a starting line up of monroe, nelo, drummond, jennings and jr smith. That's Damn good.

Knicks get a real power fwd and get back to being a defendive team. We build around josh, tyson, murry, shump, etc. We mske it happen for ourselves doing things how we want it. Woodson wants defense and rebounding. We make it happen between now and next season. Reload and get our souls back

They are expiring contacts

Gotcha, just don't believe they would be a good fit. Haven't heard any complaints about Villeneuva in a while but coming back to NY might end up being like Marbury all over again and Smith has his issues as well.

Ok detroit gives up every draft pick they can until the zombie apocalypse. Does that make it better?

I wouldn't want Josh Smith if Melo isn't here. What would be the incentive for us, especially since that move relegates us to being a lottery team?

If you make it every pick AFTER the zombie apocalypse, you have a deal. Zombie Wilt Chamberlain would be awesome on our squad...oh wait, you already included Charlie V in the deal...

You have to think about the next move. This idea doesn't get us the championship but it's a steppibg stone to rebuilding a better team....

I understand but the idea of paying premium price for a 30 year old that still heavily relies on his athleticism to be effective and that doesn't get you wins, makes me uneasy. I know that the draft is probably an even worse crap shoot but you at least get better cost-control and fewer drawbacks. I prefer that route than gambling on an established star signing with our bum franchise to then justify our acquisition of Josh Smith. We need to re-build and do so in a more dynamic manner if we move on from Melo.
