#Knicks offered Alexey Shved a minimum deal & he turned it down, sources say. It will be interesting to see if they offer him $2.8 million.

#Knicks & Lou Amundson agree on a 1-year, $1.6 mil deal, his agent says. NY still has the $2.8 mil exception and is still talking to Shved.

Lead Guard		Scoring Guard		Small Forward		Power Forward		Center
Jerian Grant		Arron Afflalo		Kristaps Porzingis	Carmelo Anthony		Robin Lopez
Jose Calderon		Ricky Ledo?		Cleanthony Early	Derrick Williams	Kyle O’Quinn
Langston Galloway			        Lance Thomas		Lou Amundson

on paper this looks like a better team than last year, 28-34 wins. what time is the summer league game?

Can't see him as a 3. You also waste his ability as a shot blocker if he is running around chasing 6'8" SFs.

Have to start Anthony out at 3 and see what he has left, IMO. Let KP and KO start the season at PF.

Perhaps they alternate roles on the offensive end? His quickness, athletcism, length, and shooting ability is going to make it almost impossible for SFs to guard him.

No, I think Hahn or someone said the Knicks went off Monroe when they drafted Porzingis, because they thought they needed more of a defensive ripeness (ha, I tried typing 'presence', but that's what autocorrect came up with!) next to him. That would indicate they see him as a PF.

Ndour has some real solid two-way skills (forget this guy now regardless of how he plays) and I took the time to review some video of Thanasis last night--this kid has solid potential despite the mediocre DL numbers, esp. as a standout defender at the 2 & 3 spots. I even like his potential as an offensive player, better than LT's in fact..The Garden would've loved this kid. Kinda bush league if you ask me--they ask Thanasis to stay local and play for their DL team, forgoing a lot of money not going overseas, the kid obliges and now it looks like he's gonna get squeezed out of a spot. Maybe he still makes it as a backup SG but I don't like him there--he's more of a SF.

Whatever man, they got their two end-of-the-bench character guys...now can we concentrate on finishing off the rotation please? Not comfortable at all with the backcourt as is--we're still two guards short. Shved and Ledo would suffice -- that's one legit scoring 2 and a 6'6" versatile guard that can play both spots. Can't for the life of me figure out how these two weren't considered definite bring-backs going into the offseason, esp. Shved. And I think we need one more legit C -- I prefer O'Quinn at the 4 which leaves at least 1 spot open at backup 5. I guess that's where the 7'1" Galdikas comes in. Hope he shows us he belongs in SL.

Ndour has already said he's playing overseas next season- he said he'd play on our summer league team because we were okay with that. Thannasis is a SG/Sf who can't shoot. Amundson played more PF and C
