Maybe Sims would be a good addition to this team for his shot-blocking ability. Arputter- I hear what you’re saying on that.

During the 2005 season, the Knicks started picking up and auditioning guys from the D-league and I believe Matt Barnes and Ime Udoka were among them. Both those guys have gone on to play important roles for good teams. There are definitely some hidden gems out there, who the Knicks could sign cheaply and possibly turn out to be like a Bruce Bowen for this team as they build for the future.

He is young, long, and athletic. He would fit well into our defensive scheme and work well in an up-tempo offense.

I am not sure why I left him off the list. If his salary works, then he can be an option too. The Knicks are most desparate for guard help, but if they plan to cut Marbury and Mobley retires, they might be better served to sign a D League guard such as Parker and then trade the exceptions for a big man, i.e. Sean Williams. However, they are desperate for guard help. Bringing in a guard to spell Duhon is imperative for this team. I thought about Diener too. I am not sure why I left him off the list.

Like you said, he's got the passing ability and scoring potential that would thrive in the D'Antoni system. Another guy I would look at is Von Wafer on the Rockets. He's a combo guard out of Florida State a few years back. Although he wouldn't fill our need for a solid back up point guard, he is a far more potent scoring threat than Roberson. A guy I like a lot is Travis Diener, currently on the Pacers bench. Like Duhon, he lacks athleticism, but has good passing vision and can knock down an open 3.
