With the anticipated trade of David Lee for Anthony Randolph, Turiaf, Kelenna Azubuike, and one more signing with remaining money(Raymond Felton/Mike Miller type), our Knicks picks have just gotten more or less a "fixed value". Tentative NY Rotation next year C: Amare PF: Gallinari SF: Randolph SG: Mike Miller or Toney Douglas PG: Toney Douglas or Raymond Felton Bench: Chandler, Curry, Walker, anyone else I'm missing? I'd say that's a 30-40 win team, which means they're likely in the #8-15 range in terms of picks, at least based on this year's rankings. Ways our pick can improve 1. They get hit with the injury bug 2. Amare becomes worthless without the best passer in the game 3. The Knicks trade away value for another "run" at Melo next year. Ways our pick can lose value 1. They get someone decent for Curry's rotting corpse 2. They work out a trade for Tony Parker
I'll be logging on to youtube to see what Knicks Chick has to say.. The Girl is too damn smug for her own good.
Really 30 or 40 wins? 20 to 30 wins is a much better prediction. Amare is vastly overrated, and they have no true role players. This is a BAD BAD TEAM, and I am happy. Here is to Knicks winning the #2 pick!
Amare can't play center. Gallinari is too slow for PF fulltime. C: Curry??? PF: Amare/Randolph SF: Gallinari/Randolph SG: Mike Miller PG: Douglas
I honestly can't imagine that team winning more than 25 games. Especially now that the East is tougher. There isn't a single defensive minded player on that roster and if Amar'e goes down with an injury for even 20 games or so? Oh god. 15 game winner.
I think they're a borderline playoff team. I could see Charlotte falling off a bit and NY taking their place. I say mid-teens, which is much better than the mid-twenties if Lebron went there.
Man, when Lebron chose Miami, I busted a Yub Nub. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/np6vAuS0KNs&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/np6vAuS0KNs&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
They have a good shot at bottom 5 in the league. Maybe their strategy will be to protect their next pick by tanking for that #1 spot.
Who are some of the top college players coming out in next years draft? MODIFY ROCKET UNIFORMS IN '10!!!!!
Eddy Curry Danilo Gallinari Wilson Chandler Toney Douglas Bill Walker Andy Rautins Jordan Fields Jerome Jordan Amare Stoudemire Anthony Randolph Ronnie Turiaf Kelenna Azuibuke That's 12 guys on the roster. No more roster charges apply. The Knicks have this team and another $13-14M in available cap room. Let's reserve judgment for at least another month or two.
