Just another reason I won't miss this coach.

I don't know about that, but if Kmart played all season we would probably have around 45 wins. It's really a shame what happened to him, I often forget he's on the team and he's one of my favorite Knicks. He would have given us far more than Tysoft, a real defensive anchor with strong passing ability. Maybe Aldrich can continue to grow, but he's still not starter quality.

Don't think he was calling him starting material; more that this team lacked an inside presence while Chandler was gone. I think it lacked it with Chandler playing as well.

Kmart would've definitely been a catalyst for a playoff run. Even Artest said he was the most important player on this roster.

Watching Mozgov right now looking like a very capable C just sucks.

Agree about Kmart. When healthy he is the Knicks best big.

The coach is an utter moron. Most of us have been calling to give him minutes since we first saw him out there.
On top of it, look what happens when Toure gets minutes (3 steals) - must put pressure on the ball.

Thanks Woodson,

Think we also need a bigger big so to speak, Plumlee made him look like a SF out there. I'm not opposed to bringing Aldrich back but I'd like to find a replacement for Chandler as well. As good as Cole is playing now, he ain't it.

Cole has gotten raw deal his whole career. He's always produced when given minutes but never been given consistent minutes. He was a great pickup by Mills. I just wish we had a team option for a 2nd year (and ideally even a 3rd year) for him. How much can we give him as an FA? I hope no one steals him from us.

LOL! Did you have multiple tabs open at once? We've all done that.

Look what happened when Murry got minutes in other games.

I thought the reason we stunk was pg and Michael Woodson was a coaching genius?

Really proud of Cole. He really closed out the season strong. I think Phil will like what he's seen from the young man.

Was a bad miss not to use Cole. Guy can clearly play. Not the ideal athlete, but he's a banger and his size is very useable.

It was clearly one of Woody's bigger mistakes...Go look at some of his Kansas clips -- dude was even more impactful. Body looked at little more toned and he appeared even quicker and more athletic. If you look at him now compared to then, there's not a huge difference physically but it's noticeable: he's a bit more frumpy now and a little less forceful/take charge...Tell ya what though, the current version of Cole -- he's still capable of producing at a high level even slipping back physically at little since college...He can easily get back there. if he does, we'll see an even better player imo...Being on your 4th team in 4 years or whatever can take the wind outta your sails a little I guess. Maybe he slipped a little with the diet and trainin/conditioning programs...Bottom line: this guy's a keeper. It's clear as day, esp. for the modest salary he'll command...His exit interview needs to go something like this: "We want you back and are preparing an offer. Please come back ready to assume a more important role next year. Expect to be a rotation player next season; a least 25 mins a night. We need you even stronger, toned up with improved conditioning. I wanna see you in the best shape of your life come next year." I don't wanna see this guy get away..

At the very least, provided we can't come up with something better, gimmie the following rotation at the 5-spot for next year and I'll be fine (assuming we do deal Tyson Chandler):

• Cole Aldrich retained
• Marcus Cousin signed - this guy's 7' 255 and a surprisingly decent offensive player we could get real cheap. Would provide a nice contrast to Cole. Very good shooter, plus he can also rebound fairly well.
• Daniel Orton signed as the 3rd C (would also see some time at the 4) - dude's still very intriguing - has a lot more potential than Jeremy Tyler imo, esp. as a defender/rebounder. Another guy that would come dirt cheap. Dude could be the next Kendrick Perkins. Better than that maybe. Would be a much better investment over Jeremy Tyler imho..

If we used Cole Aldrich 20-22mts a night
