Five keys to the Knicks' offseason:

1. Make the obligatory run at Phil Jackson and then hire a hard-nosed, experienced coach who will demand tough defense.

2. Find a shot-blocking center in the draft or trade market, but don't overpay for health risks Zydrunas Ilgauskas or Theo Ratliff.

3. If a three-point shooter such as Phoenix's Joe Johnson or Minnesota's Wally Szczerbiak is available, make the deal.

4. Acquire a pass-first point guard who can defend so Stephon Marbury can play more shooting guard and Jamal Crawford can come off the bench.

5. Don't trade Kurt Thomas without getting equal rebounding, defense and pick-and-roll shooting. In other words, forget it.

****ty plan
