ok, time 2 decide. there hav been rnd say a million posts saying that sweetney shoud be the starting pf and that he shoud be given time 2 develop. but then i c the same people sayin that we shoud trade 4 an already estalished star like antoine walker, but still hold on 2 sweetney of course. sweetney will never develop until he beomes the clear cut starter on the team. so my question is, woud u rather hav sweetney start and be given the time 2 know the spot is his and lets c how good he is, or make the trade 4 a walker, rahim, swift or whoever. i think that rite now the best thing woud be 2 move kurt and help another position of need we hav, give sweetney the rest of this season 2 play and lets c just how good the man is. if he works out then we know our pf position is set and its time 2 fix the center spot. now if brand can be brought in thats a diff story, but otherwise, lets c sweetney really play, he did get 15 pts in bout 18 min against houston. walker or w/e woudnt b bad but this woud prob in my mind be the best way 2 go.
thoughts?

Well, I saw you mention Swift. I would love to get him regardless of what we do with Sweetney. Swift is that force in the paint that we need, on both ends.
But I would prefer to keep Sweetney, let him be the PF of the future. Only guys I've seen mentioned recently are two guys I want to stay the hell away from: Walker and Webber.

you CAN NOT give up on sweetney unless we see him play consistent 30+ minutes for at least 20 or so games. that's the only way we'll know if he can be a starter in this league or not.

After last night, I was really impressed with Sweetney so I would hold on to him and long as possible. If we can get Brand, I would have Sweetney come off the bench. Maybe C-Webb, but definetly not Walker.

i say brand is the only 1 i take over sweetney, webber is a lil old and his knee and contract scare me, it woud def help in the short term but it coud hurt the knicks longterm when he turns in2 the allan houston of our frontcourt. other than brand, i say keep sweetney and play him!!

Why would the presence of a guy like Walker slow Sweetney progression??? Walker is a versatile player that can at least four positions on the court. Our SF position has been a problem all season, and right now we have JYD playing some heavy minutes to help provide a little energy. Do we need Walker??? if the opportunity present itself, why not? I would trade TT or Penny for Walker. I would turn around and trade Kurt Thomas and either Penny or TT for Zerbiak and Kandi. We don't need short people to play the five folks. We need a real Center.......

Do the damn deal, unless we find something better.....


The Bulls are balling, and they have a pretty good chance at eliminating our chances at going to the playoffs....

Get rid of Kurt and Timmy. Keep Penny....

you mean of the relatively realistic possibilities i take it? obviously there are a slew of PF's in the league that i would take over Sweetney if i could.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

We could draft a 4 or 5. Then we can determine our own fate instead of chasing our tails as to "whats isiah gonna do!" We could trade up in the draft!

Swift is low IQ. Walker is not high character guy. Keep gathering idiots and you see what you have?

Don't be afraid of the future. Knick fans want a name NOW to quell the fears. That does not work either.

Start Sweetney at 4 for the remainder of the season. If we get a superstar PF in a trade, that's great. But he better not be old, over-priced vet like Webber. Otherwise let's see what the draft will net us.
