then u must not know basketball... hes not a star but god damn he knows his roll, knocks down his shots, and plays GREAT D

i been sayin it all along so dont say im jumpin on no bandwagon... only way we can trade him is for a defensive monster of a center cuz thats our only weekness

no but he clearly is our best big man right now. The jury is still out on Sweetney. He needs to play well on a night to night basis. i'm sure he'll reach that point at someday.

Kurt's a solid role player... always has been. He's a great example of how a guy with painfully average skills has had a good NBA career through hard work. However playing KT at center or asking him to play 40 minutes a night and pick up some of the scoring load is utter folly, and its a big reason we were lousy for several years in a row.
When you ask KT to play 25-30 minutes and just work hard at rebounding and defense he's a nice player. I thought before he hurt his pinky he was playing he best bal last year when Marbury came. His scoring went way down and he wasnt even rebounding as much but he had the energy to really play aggressive D. If we can limit his minutes and responsibility he will be a nice player for us.

KT doesn't get the respect he deserves because he is not a flashy player or some type of high flyer. He has always prove he can play great lo post D and at any time that can change the game. If we still issues playing D then he will be a hard player to trade at the deadline. What is so positive is hitting those jump shots from the pick and roll with Marbury. That is his role and if he could play that we should be in good shape. We must give him the benefit of a doubt with last season because he played with a broken pinky.

Yeah yeah.....

But do you think the Knicks are winning anything with KT playing such a big role? That pick and role stuff is fine but KT is better just taking the shot without moving or having to be able to move or pass if the defense isn't fooled by the pick and roll.

KT plays good defense but he still gets abused against good post players. Kt's defense is situational. He'll never contain or stop anyone but he will get a cheap strip or block every once in a while.

KT is terrible if he has to move his feet....or dribble...KT is not a post presence. He is a jump shooter. Try making an impact inside from 15-18 ft out. This is why guys like me don't like him.

As a comparisson...Sweetney isn't flashy and can't jump either. Sweetney on the other hand will rebound and play inside the way the Knicks have needed for years at 4.

KT and Sweets together make for a good 4 tandem. If Sweetney can hit the jumper or score as frequently as he gets foul shots KT will be fazed out at 4.

Who says Kurt has a big role in this offense like I said his role is to hit the perimeter shots and play D. I didn't realize he was a number one option. If he plays his role it would be valuable to us this season if not he's traded.
