Donnie Always Has Backup Plan

This video is getting a lot of buzz. You have to love the idea that Walsh has the fans in mind. Excerpts of this video have now been featured in the Post, and at 1:00 Walsh answers the “backup plan” question. It’s hard to imagine that Donnie doesn’t have a backup plan for Lebron, as if the Knicks would just shrivel up and close, but hey, news is news.

Also, Walsh mentioned that Allan Houston is a “great candidate” to be back in the NBA and he thinks a GM role maybe in his future. Right now, Allan is in Player Development and will be involved in scouting college players for the draft. Speaking of the draft, Walsh said he is looking for “guys who want to win” and “has toughness.” He said that player will have to guard “a position” defensively.

Interestingly, he mentions that he’s looking for “players with energy” and mentions KG and Ron Artest,  not Nate Robinson.

    Haha…. What I would do to be able to watch Ron Artest play on a nightly basis.

    I love Artest’s game. Artest would run through a wall in New York. He would put this team on his back.

    I wrote the other day about players having to settle for the MLE this summer. Artest is definitely one of those players.

    Players like Wallace and Artest are in the mix for me.

    Obviously Nash would be at the top of my list.

    Artest does not really fit position-wise. Unless Wilson Chandler continues to grow at the 2. But Hughes and Artest would give this team good defense on the perimeter for next year.

    But again, I am skeptical because Artest does not really fit. A square peg in an oval hole.

    Is Walsh interested in any talent under 30?
