Marcus Camby Kurt Thomas Othella Harrington Larry Johnson? Clarence Weatherspoon Shandon Anderson Latrell Spreewell Allan Houston Mark Jackson Howard Eisley All of those guys could be starting in the league. All this and Rod Strickland is still a possibility. Blazers of the east. Plenty of trade possibilities. Should be an intresting year in NY, as usual...
You're right, they're in deep ****. Seriously, they've filled out their roster with undersized PF's and SG's with major holes in their games.They've got an insane amount of money dumped into players who do not deserve it. Looks like a first round exit to me.
depth is good but it's like a rottisserie team...could produce decent numbers but in the real world will be killed by a well-balanced team capable of exploiting the matchups.
let's star the starters: *Marcus Camby Kurt Thomas Othella Harrington Larry Johnson? Clarence Weatherspoon Shandon Anderson *Latrell Spreewell *Allan Houston *Mark Jackson Howard Eisley If you call Spree a 3 still, I don't see it. They need another size guy starting and that will likely be Thomas, unless LJ makes a major recovery. And I don't think Shandon is going to be thier point guard. Which reminds me, Charile W isn't even on this list!
This team will never win anything. It has shooting guards and small forwards all over the place. They can hardly compete in the east let alone the west.
The Knicks might still be contemplating trading Spree to Sac-Town (or considering the offers that Sac has sent them) - the main ideas for a trade involved sending Spree in exchange for Peja + Christie. That'd give the Knicks a slightly different look; PG Ward SG Houston SF Stojakovic PF Thomas C Camby Bench PF Weatherspoon PF Johnson SF Anderson SG Christie PF Harrington C Eric Chenowith (.....) However I don't know why the Kings would do such a trade anyway? (to get Spree + Webber together?) - it seems bad for them....
In Anderson and Eisley the Knicks have added two defensive oriented players who are not good shooters. I guess the GM/Utah connection is driving those acquisitions. Those two players don't make sense to improve a plodding team, already overloaded with G/F types, with a weak inside game. What I think of when I consider their roster is "hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go."
Charlie Ward was never traded. That was all speculation. In fact, when Golden State GM Gary St. Jean was asked about the rumored Ward-for-Foyle swap, he said that he had never even talked to the Knicks about that possibility. Also, there were supposedly some rumblings that the Bay Area's gay community wouldn't take too kindly to Ward's bigoted opinions.
