I like KT too, but I firmly expect him to move for Kwame or Zydrunas this summer. I've never actually felt like he'd get traded before, but he's actually the most tradeable PF on the roster now. Also, remember Eddie Grunfeld is in WAS and loves Kurt.

I really don't dislike KT, I think he is a solid player, a hard worker and a good teamate... The thing about KT is that he is a skilled player, has a nice shooting touch, can defend, and rebound. I can guarantee you that if the mavs had a guy like him right now, they would be up 3-2 on the suns instead of it being the other way around. Just think of how bad dampier is playing and KT I am sure would put up better numbers. I think the knicks could use KT on their team, even while rebuilding, he can come off the bench, play big minutes at the 4/5 and not hurt this team at all..

I'm fine with KT and if we don't trade him, I wont be dissapointed. It all depends on who we have though. If we end up becoming an uptempto fast break team, then he needs to come off the bench for defense. If we draft a guy like Bogut, who can start right away, then I am fine with KT as our starting PF. If it's basically the same crap as the last 2 seasons, then it's a disaster.

KT hit a bunch of clutch three's for us this year. And boy would he be a weapon if he could hit 3's.

The problem with the Knicks isn't KT- its a lack of talent.

Getting rid of him for the sake of getting rid of him won't be addition by subtraction.

Lets all take a deep breath and think what is best for the team. Great now that you guys did that it very important to the well being of all NYK fans that KT be moved. It will help this team very much if he isn't the NYK starting pf next year. He is what stands between winning. Marbury needs a atheltic PF to operate with someone who finishes on a break and gets the crowd into it with a thunderous dunk in traffic.

Getting rid of KT doesn't mean we're getting an athletic PF.

Perhaps we should have kept McKnee.

Who cares if KT adds a 3? Is 3 point shoting from the 4 what we need? Maybe it makes him a more valuable trade asset, but doesn't make him any more valuable to us. I think Kurt can hit the 3 already, it just makes so little sense for him to do it.

What if he developed a windmill?

KT only goes when we have a player better than him. not the potential of one, but a bonefide replacement!

Unless we are blowing it up and rebuilding. Then its ok. But I doubt that is what happens.

Thats tough to do when the team is the KNicks. I guarantee you if Amare was on the Knicks he would be treated just like Sweetney. Hell he would still be developing to be a 12-10 player on the KNicks while backing up KT to this day. The fact is the Knicks don't give young players ample opportunity to show what they have they don't promote young players to be stars in the league but to be role players in the league. That my friend is the fact of the New York Knicks. I despise it when people say the Knicks will have KT until you get someone better that is the biggest misconception the Knicks fans have that they have the best players starting. They play the vets that is their motto its sad but it is true.

If I can describe the Knicks in one word it would be NOTHING. This word is very telling of what the Knicks are. Why because they do nothing to devlope young players to be stars. They do nothing to move away from Vets who are clogging the team and proving basically nothing they aren't winning but still they do nothing to change their ways. Most team when they are done they play their young but the Knicks what were they doing nothing, they should have been giving the young players minutes. Ariza should have been getting 40+ Same with Sweetney.

If KT comes back next year and is given the starting job then you might as well start counting ping pong balls because the Knicks would have done NOTHING to improve.
