Bargnani - this is one of the few guys who actually has been a starter for most of his career. However, with his injury-prone seasons he might not be able to last. I also think it is possible we don't bring him back.

Langston Galloway - I know Galloway isn't a dominant offensive player by any means, but his defense and rebounding seems to be valuable enough for him to get some playing time as a starter. He's young, so with some improvement he might be able to become a solid player.

Yeah... that's about all I got. Pretty sad that I can only think of two guys aside from melo that could start, and one of them is bargs. Knicks have some work to do.

Melo may be the only legitimate starter at this point regardless of who the Knicks are forced to start in the future. Basically, this is a collection of mostly marginal players. Galloway is not really a top player most likely. Perhaps Shved will find his way into being a legit PG which would be more valuable than anything Langston will likely provide.

The only other one is Thanasis. Nobody knows if he will be an impact player or just energy off the bench.

As of now, the Knicks have 1 legit starter (injured). They need to draft and acquire at minimum two bona fide starters in the off-season. That means almost everyone on the team now should be thought of as fighting for bench space next season, but almost none should be starters under the right conditions.

Depending on the team.....Galloway, Bargnani ans Schved can all start.

LOL. With Melo out, I think you're right.

The question is who brings enough "talents" to start for a winning team?
