    Despite the April fool's joke that Ewing is coming back, we do need a back up center until Cato is back. This is the critical stretch of the season!

    How about the other Chinese dude Bater who is 300 LB as well?

    Dude,
    Today is April 1st. Ewing did not sign a 10-day contract with team. He will be at the game as the assistant coach.

    Other than Yao, we have no one that can guard Shaq. If Yao is in foul trouble, we are doomed.

    We should try someone that is less than 30 year old. We should carry a third string back up center as most of the team do. Without Yao, we are a very undersized team. Meanwhile, what we can do is try to find some diamond in the rough. Who is the lead center in NBDL?

    Bill Waton could be the best up for Yao.

    I hear Atlanta has a kid that would be good. I think his name is Jason Collier.

    Oak should be able to give you ten minutes a night and (more importantly) six fouls.

    We'll need those fouls tonight against Shaq.

    P.S. I own Yao too.

    I don't know what will happen this year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Cato traded in the off-season (Steve, too, but I mention this with no rancor) and (OK, don't kill me for this) Marcus Camby brought in instead (MLE?)

    It's a Knicks thing.

    I think John Amaechi needs a job. And he IS technically a former Knick...
