Comments on: Walsh Looking to Deal http://www.theknicksblog.com/2009/11/15/walsh-looking-to-deal/ The One-Stop Shop for Hopeful Knick Fans Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:36:21 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Matty_Pickles http://www.theknicksblog.com/2009/11/15/walsh-looking-to-deal/comment-page-1/#comment-78784 Matty_Pickles Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:51:52 +0000 http://www.theknicksblog.com/?p=10804#comment-78784 I see the knicks getting Rudy Gay in 2010. A young star who will be offered good money from a mediocre team. Similar situation Joe Johnson was in when he signed with Atlanta after pheonix. The kid can play and if they pick him up they will have flexibility to pick up other good pieces... Similar to Atlanta when they got mike bibby... Then we just have to hope for gallo, Douglas hill and Chandler to step up and we have ourselves a team. (or which ever players are still there, I think Chandler is on his way out... With Nate) Atlanta has a better record then every team except pheonix right now. Where were they 3 years ago? I see the knicks getting Rudy Gay in 2010.

Y let Gerald Green go overseas he'd fit. Mully be good also I like the Kristic idea but lately Mike Miller is always injured, Ukic okay also. Y let Gerald Green go overseas he’d fit.

Walsh can still trade him. Lee may be packaged with Jared Jeffries. I also can see Curry traded with Tony Douglas. If Douglas continues to play well and Curry plays well, believe me a GM will pick them up. Don't expect Eddy Curry to walk out of here if we don’t give up a player who has value. If you were a GM would you take on Eddy Curry's contract? He makes about 20 mil in the next two years? If I take on Curry's contract as a GM, I would have to need a low post player and I would want Wilson Chandler or Jordan Hill or Tony Douglas included in the package. No GM would trade for Eddy Curry alone unless Eddy starts playing like an ALLSTAR. Walsh is not making any huge gambles. I like him for that. If Jennings would have not criticized Rubio, he would have been picked in the top 5. It is good for the Bucks that he has a big mouth. I can't blame Walsh for not pulling the trigger on him because the NY media would have fed off of those types of comments. I think we and 8 other teams missed on this one. Time will tell if Jordan Hill can be a good player as well. I'm not going to blame Wash for missing out on Jennings. 2010 is plan A and I'm sure Walsh has a plan B if 2010 does not work out.

He's played essentially one game's worth of minutes in five, but look at these stats... 35 minutes 25 points 11-18 shooting 9 rebounds 3 steals 2 blocks Yeah the Knicks need a point guard (the Knicks need a lot of things), but they weren't too good at defending or scoring in the paint either. I definitely do not see this as a bad pick just yet. OK, has anyone taken a close look at what Jordan Hill has done this season?

35 minutes
25 points 11-18 shooting
9 rebounds
3 steals
2 blocks

Yeah the Knicks need a point guard (the Knicks need a lot of things), but they weren’t too good at defending or scoring in the paint either. I definitely do not see this as a bad pick just yet.

Until this team improves, I will refer to them as what their own coach called them: The N.Y. Zombies.

Lee is also rapidly becoming "Blackhole Lee" as he never kicks it out anymore Despite his obvious work at developing his shot, Lee can not be the first scoring option, and No-Pass Harrington can not be option 1A. Not now, and not in the future. Biggie,

He is only half way there as he still needs to move Curry and JJ. Aren't you getting way ahead of yourself??
