Comments on: The Knicks Are Playing Better, But Still Have Areas Of Concern

Sorry, but what’s the point of this hand-wringing article? Everyone knows the Knicks are pushing all their chips in for 2010. They’re 7-15. The goal for this season is to not have to hand over the No. 1 pick to the Jazz. If they finish with 37-39 wins, that’s probably about what they can aspire to. Any of these “areas of concern” completely disappear when you have a whole new set of personnel next season. I realize when someone only goes to Knicks games and then has to figure out something to write about, this will tend to happen, but analyzing this year’s team in such a manner seems to be a pointless endeavor.

absolute worst case scenario is that the Knicks win enough games to make the playoffs and management decide to bring back guys like Harrington, Lee, Hughes or Duhon. Id prefer to see them put out a lineup of Douglas, Chandler, Gallo, Hill and a bunch of D-leaguers.

I’m a die hard Knicks fan and I like what I’ve seen over the past week but everyone knows that they’re just stalling until next year. My main request is that Duhon is nowhere near MSG next year and if Jeffries happens to be around that someone limits this guys 3 point attempts, really.

NY gets Bayless & Oberto, Washington gets Andre Miller & Jared Jeffries and Portland gets Jordan Hill and Caron Butler.

What you guys think?
Jeffries has been playing well, but it saves up money for the offseason.
Would Flip let Miller run the point and let Arenas play off the ball?
Portland gets Caron to help B-ROY/Aldridge and gets POSSIBLE front line help in Jordan Hill.

GUP thats a great idea- portland is in need of big men and we’re in need of jerryd bayless haha

Trade Nate+Jeffries for cap. That should be the Knicks’ priority.
Then give 80% of Duhon’s minutes to Douglas, BTW.

As Knick fan, it has just been nice to see some consistency over the last week.

If the Knicks think that Jordan Hill is not going to develop, they should offer him to the Blazers for Bayless.

why should d’antoni develop consistant rotations when the team is going to change significantly next year? the way i look at it is that he was brought in and told, “doesnt matter what happens this year, we want you to rebuild for 2010 free agency.”

what i see him doing is testing out different players at different positions/roles with different rotations so he knows exactly who he wants stayin on next year and what he wants them doing.

id look to see more consistent rotations come the new year but up to this point i think he is doing exactly what any new manager with a team that needs rebuilding, should be doing.

Gerald, you’ve been getting hammered on your writing and it’s been somewhat unfair.

That said, a proofread could help you catch things like…

“USUALLY, the Knicks are ALWAYS down in the second half…”

Keep the articles coming though.
