Friday Workouts: Revised

Love this workout… few big time players that could be available .. not familiar with the kutztown product though

yyup AGREED to the max…

I hope the Knicks find some good rookies as opposed to BAD rookies. Since D’assholi only plays good rookies, not talented 6’11″ athletic big men who were lottery picks.

msg gotta step there game up an start showing player workouts

Haven’t found any good Nets blogs to comment on yet, huh? Didn’t you officially jump ship a few days ago?

pourtsmouth “Stephen Dennis, from Division II Kutztown (PA), had his first solid game of the tournament. He’s got great length for a shooting guard and was one of the best scorers in Division II. He struggled shooting the ball this weekend, but his form is consistent and he should secure enough workouts to get a look. We don’t expect him to be drafted, but he’s an intriguing player for the D-League.”

“Kutztown University guard Stephen Dennis is the Division II college basketball player of the year, as chosen by sports information directors of NCAA member schools The 6-foot-6 Dennis, who averaged 26.6 points, is joined on the Division II All-America team by….”

GO JARVIS!!!!

I have a feeling that Warren will be one of the steals of the draft.

His talent level alone is lottery potential.

That said, talent means nothing if you do not execute. But Warren has the feel of a guy that will play well with better talent surrounding him.

Agreed.

Looks like a very solid list.

I’m pro-Willie Warren.

I watch Warren play and I think that he has potential super-star type talents. He can drill shots from deep and he can bust you off the bounce.

He has to bring it all together though.

Agreed, this forum is for die-hards, not people willing to jump the river to Newark, than back over the rivers to Brooklyn.

Very happy they are bringing in both Warren and Varnado both of whom I would be very excited to draft (Warren especially). I’m intrigued some by Brackins and Vasquez. Never saw Brackins play but read decent things about him, good post up game with good touch, long arms but not a great defender. Vasquez because of his size and how he took over for Maryland at the end of the season, though the guy clearly isn’t quick and has terrible form on his shot, but I would give him a look if better prospects are gone. Varnado and especially Warren are guys to watch

Absolutely fantastic workout. These are some big-time talents that could be major steals. Especially Warren and Varnado. Would love to have 2 of these guys being our 2 picks. Brackins too maybe.

Warren might even be targeted by the Knicks in buying a late first rounder, similar to the Toney Douglas situation. Also notice how Warren is working out with Vazquez and two big men that the Knicks feel can play the 5 spot because of their length. I expect this workout to be chock full of pick and rolls.

The Jets found a gem at Kutztown State with Bruce Harper. Hope history will repeat itself.

good point. Although those 2 positions happen to be the Knicks biggest needs anyway. But I agree, probably have them running a lot of pick and rolls.

Can’t wait until Jordan Hill is going for 15 and 9 in 3 years…in the D-League….

lmao…………….
when an if that happens that will scare DONNIE for life..

Ive always like Willie Warren and his potential but we would have to move up to get him because I think he will be drafted towards the end of the first round… Greivius Vasquez is a guy that really interest me.. He has a bit of an attitude problem, likes to talk alot of trash, is often out of control and takes questionable shots but with all that said the guy is just a flat out good basketball player.. Had some games in college where he completely took over and was unstoppable and to be honest he really didnt have much nba talent around him at UMD. He often flirted with a triple double and likes play a fast pace brand of ball.. I never really liked him at Maryland but he backed up the talk and he won ball games for that team.

Yeah I want Warren as well. We can buy the Hawks 1st pick and get him or get one of the Grizzlies picks.
I just want a Shooter and a Shot Blocker out of this draft is that too much to ask for?

Yeah I like WW too! We need to keep that slam dunk champion in NY! J/k

I just hope we may good picks or trade up or out for proven talent!

Dominique Jones Has Been Added!? Tomorrow Is A Good Workout!

Also TKB What are you guys doing I just heard on Loudmouths that D Wade said He, Lebron and Joe Johnson are getting together and discussing the summer of 2010!! Also D Wade said he doesn’t like how Chicago treats their stars!! Lebron and Wade matching up seems more likely now!

I Know I have been saying Lebron and Rose wont workout. So for you people that get thorough Lebron and Wade is different because Wade can catch and shoot and move without the ball.

If LBJ has a brain, he would listen to anything Wade has to say and vice versa. JJ can’t be part of any deal unless he take a big pay cut!

there are rumors the knicks will most like purchase a first rounder.
but whats the point if they don’t have good scouts good eyes good evaulation team..lmao..

Yep, I would be confused if we go the collecting young talent route when 2010 is suppose to be our break out year. Let’s see how this play out!

Obviously LeBron is the Knicks first choice, but I would be almost as happy with Wade. Wade would be a perfect fit for this system, especially if you pair him with someone like Bosh. If Bosh comes here and Miami doesn’t get Amare or Boozer, I could see Wade leaving the Heat and coming to NYC. Plus, I like Wade’s attitude much more than LeBron’s. He really seems like a great team guy, plus he has proven that he can win the big game and can carry a team on his shoulders. When he is 100% healthy, he is as dynamic a scorer as any player in the league.

I don’t know guys……he benefited a lot from Blake and when Griffin left that was supposed to be his team and he flopped.

Vazquez on the other hand took over his team when they needed him most.

agreed

A full blown summit is apparently going on (I don’t buy the agent saying it isn;t happening)

http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/66845/20100527/wade_mentions_meeting_then_agent_walks_back_summit_talk/

Actually I enjoy reading the hilarious posts from die hard fans.

If you read what I wrote I said as long as it’s the Knicks do not sign good players and get a team that is competitive I am gone. So so far I’m still in limbo some what but am almost totally emotionally divorced. I am now a Net fan always have been, unfortunately Net fans are a little behind because of the lack of such a rich history.

I loved the Knicks but like I said it’s been hell for 10+ years. The divorce is done but there are still lingering feelings that will soon be gone when Donnie strikes out and I don’t mean Don Mattingly.

Keep drinking the kool aid!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t normally drink soft drinks but when I do it’s not kool aid, keep thirsty my friends.

This is sad when a team and it’s fans are talking about second round picks like they are lottery picks.

I would like to get a shotblocker and the best one in this draft that fit that need to a tee is Sanders,an athletic center who has improved each year and is extremely active player who could make an impact running the floor and defend the paint.He’s probably going to go in the teens so the only way we get him is a trade,IMO we have to go for talent and he has tons of talent.

It’s even sadder when a “fan” bails on a franchise because of just a decade of misfortune. Feel free to go to the Nets board to talk about how you got the third pick in a two player draft. Have fun deciding between Derrick Favors and Demarcus Cousins, I’m sure they’ll turn the franchise around.

If we get Wade and Lebron. Donnie better trade Wilson for a Kendrick Perkins type center..someone that does the dirty work..

Warren and Vanardo would be two solid picks with upside, im also interested in what Brackins looks like i think he was projected as a pretty high pick last year.

Try much longer than 10 years, as a fan for 45 years, that’s right 45 years there were really lean times after the 1970 win. It wasn’t until after Ewing showed up that the Knicks started winning again.

So do the math….the years before until the Knicks got Reed and Clyde all working together then the time between those guys and Ewing and then after van Gundy left. Wow…..more like 30+ years of futility.

Not 10 years fauci 30 years….

30 years………so don’t fuckin’ tell me about bailing out on a team. There has been much more suck on the Knicks then winning.

No one cares Captain Fairweather. Ten years? Must be hard. Talk to Red Sox and Cubs fans see if they ever bailed. And give up the kool-aid reference, it’s dumb and played out. Being a true fan through the good and the bad isn’t drinking the kool-aid, it’s being loyal to your team and not jumping to the next trendy selection. Take your “kool-aid” and your Nets love across the river…to Newark where you’ll be for two years.

We’ve mentioned CAA several times…

http://www.theknicksblog.com/2010/05/03/another-option-possible-trades-with-currys-contract/

I felt going in that this was going to be a strong draft throughout…and as I’ve said a million times I believe Walsh will buy into the first round…

Should be a great, cheap, way to add 3 really good pieces moving forward.

I hear ya! If we hit what would amount to the Power Ball Jackpot twice in a row, I’m sure LBJ and Wade would be calling the shots for sure. If Thorn couldn’t resist giving in to Kidd and letting Byron Scott go, imagine the damage or demands these two would bring about?

Boo hoo.

As a fan of 45 years, you’ve at least witnessed a championship. A majority of Knick fans haven’t been that fortunate, yet they aren’t bailing on their team because of a bad stretch. You are not owed anything by the Knicks. If you’re so disgusted by them, then spare us your constant bitching and whining and go elsewhere. No one here cares how long you’ve “suffered.”

Well our coach bailed on us for 2 years and we pay him many millions! Don’t blame me for this post, you asked for it.

Like our coach, I take NO responsibility for my actions. I just don’t have the right words otherwise. So don’t blame me until my keyboard gives me better ones! lol

“Should be a great, cheap, way to add 3 really good pieces moving forward.”

And That’s A Bingo!!!!
(Inglorious Bastards)

I’ve suffered too! You don’t care LBJ? Does that mean you’re not coming here to help with my pain?

Don’t Boo ho, Sign with us on the dotted line and ask for a new coach while you’re at it!

He should buy as many picks as he can as long as it doesnt affect FA money.

How about being loyal to the fans…..I can see smaller market teams having issues making competitive teams but not the Knicks who are in the biggest city there is and were the money flows.

People put Stienbrenner down but he did what he thought best and spent huge amounts of money to try and make the Yankees a world champion every year. Yes he had no clue but he tried.

I don’t think Dolan really cares……….the same people are still running MSG and the same mentality is there. Donnie and D’ass are just window dressing making out that Dolan is trying to give the fans a winning team. Even though the team has stunk he still made money…..amazing.

He was great when Blake Griffin was injuried.

I really can’t understand why he didn’t play well this season.

“You can’t handle the truth!!!”
(A Few Good Men)

Agreed. Feel free to jump ship and do whatever you want, but don’t come on here and act as if you’re a real fan because you’ve been disappointed with things. I don’t care if you’ve seen 80 years worth of suckiness, you witnessed a championship team, the entire Ewing era, and plenty of other great moments. You think the Nets are going to not disappoint you? Go be a Lakers fan if you want constant winning for all I care, but don’t pretend you’re a real fan. Real fans don’t bail. Ever.

I don’t care. You’re not a true fan if you’re ready to up and bail during the tough times. Chicago and Boston are both huge markets, the Red Sox and Cubs (still) sucked for a long time and constantly disappointed.

If we somehow get LeBron and Wade, trading Curry and Chandler for Okafor and Collison might be a good idea. I know Okafor doesn’t have a great contract, but he is still a good defensive center, and is averaging a double double throughout his career. Plus he averaged 1.5 blockers per game last year. He is also only 27, so he shouldn’t regress as a player anytime soon. Collison would also be a perfect fit at PG. He has a great outside shot (40% from 3 last year) and he has great court vision and passing skills. The Hornets don’t really need him since they want to lockup Chris Paul long term. Our lineup would then look like this:

PG- Collison
SG- Wade
SF- James
PF- Gallo
C- Okafor

That lineup is EASILY the best in the NBA. Wade and LeBron are 2 of the top 3 players in the NBA. Collison is a very good young PG who showed flashes of brilliance when Paul was hurt. Gallo is the perfect 4 for this offense. He would get a TON of wide open looks with James and Wade drawing double teams. Okafor is a solid defensive center with some scoring ability. Not to mention, the oldest player on the team would be Wade who is 28.

I won’t bail but maybe if some of us did bail, our owner would finally get it that stop taking us for granted.

Fauci, you know Dolan rely on fans like you! You don’t care about 80 years of suckiness! YIKES!

There is something to be said for an organization rewarding its fan loyalty through professionalism and effort, something that has been lacking from the Knicks the past ten years.

Both Chicago and Boston and least gave their fans that.

I can never jump ship though even if I wanted to. Been through too many storms.

Not bad! I think we would have to do that before LBJ and Wade is announced because I don’t think ANY team would want to help the Knicks if we somehow got LBJ and Wade.

They’d sure ask for too much!

I think the Knicks have to buy a first round pick to get Warren.

“Feel free to go to the Nets board to talk about how you got the third pick in a two player draft.”

I don’t know why I found that so funny.

Never said I don’t care about things. Dolan relies on Knicks fans because Knicks fans are always Knicks fans good times or bad. You hate everything about the team right now but do you still consider yourself a fan? I would imagine so.

Yes and Dolan isn’t a very good owner and the Isiah/Layden era was crappy. But I’m not a James Dolan fan or an Isiah Thomas fan, I’m a Knicks fan. Bringing in a class act like Donnie Walsh I think was a big step forward. Hopefully Donnie hires a solid successor, and we can go on being a respectable team for the first time since the 90′s.

LMAO

You sound like a broken record.

I swear, if you keep posting like you do, the authorities are gonna ask Z-Bo who his biggest customer is and your name is gonna come out!

Yes, I’m a fan and so is BigDaddybluesman! What you see is just frustration and a desire for this franchise to finally get serious and put a real plan into action.

The Yankees have won so much and yet their Fans go bunkers when their team screws up. Yet, we see poor performance after poor performance in decision making and etc.

Yet you want us to sing “Put on a happy face!” I ain’t singing no more fauci so shut up!

lol Don’t blame me, I’m waiting on a new keyboard!

Are u a D’Antoni fan?

We would. But can we afford Okafor-Lebron and Wade?

I meant where is you guys Article on this “2010 FA Summit” That D Wade Mentioned?

Hahaha

Too much responsability maybe? I mean the guy had to take over the team… I do think the guy can bring something special to the team if picked, That said, I’m on board with bob on Jarvis. We need strength, quick. The best thing Walsh can do is get his hands on a a couple of more 2nd rounders, you know, that depth thing being an issue next season. If not, try to get a late 1st rounder, there’s some really interesting players that can fall behind.

Great question. I leave the salary cap stuff to posters like Biggiesmalls, Hydro and etc. My head is already filled with too many numbers from working!

I would imagine that LBJ and Wade would take a little less to make sure we could get the max # of players possible to help them get that ring.

That would be the sell job our GM would have to help them see!

Great point. It that does happen, it’ll all depend on how much Walsh wants him, or whoever he gets if he looks to get a 1st rounder.

lol. Fauci was making a good point, in that there are 2 franchise changing draft picks most likely in the draft, and the Nets happened to end up 3rd.

Obviously our expectations are much lower with a 2nd round pick. A mediocre role player would suffice.

Not particularly but I don’t dislike him.

Exactly………

I want the Knicks to be good, I’m not nor have ever rooted against them.

But I am sick and tired of the bullshit that flows from MSG.

Time for people to stop going to Knick games and hurt not Dolan but Stern. Stern is the real guy here, he’s about the money. Stern would have loved to sell the Knicks to someone who was a owner with money and a desire to win.

In fact from what I have read the knicks were offered to the Russian guy who bought the Nets but said he did not want to buy MSG cable station too, he just wanted the team.

When the money stops flowing then Stern will do something. But the money is still flowing even though the Knicks suck and that’s the fans fault too.

It’s a relief to know you work with numbers, because words sure aren’t your thing.

LOL Yep, That’s what Portland stated when they choose Sam Bowie after Hakeem. It surely changed that franchise for years!

Chicago did pretty well at #3! Portland stepped in #2!

That was now Nets THORN who selected MJ remember?

No Jordan Crawford? I thought the Knicks were looking into him. Would have liked to see him on the workout roster. Crawfords a gamer with serious potential in my opinion. Got the size, athletic ability, and a dead range shooter.

LOL. What am I gonna do with ya fauci?

While I’m thinking about that, can I have 2 large fries and a coke? M

Make sure the fries are hot and you don’t drool on them!

To be fair, there’s a big difference between rooting for a team but being aware that they suck and things will never pan out the way you want them to as a fan

and

Saying you are a Nets fan now.

Big difference lol. If thats really true, Big Daddy Bluesman is as much of a fan of the Knicks as all those people who suddenly are Lakers fans after the Lakers win a championship and they have to let the world know by putting those ridiculous flags on their cars.

Guys you already know im all in for the draft picks to be Randle & Pittman but im telling you another guy to really keep an eye on is Matt Bouldin! That guy right there is really good and has yet to play his best ball. Since we are stuck with MD we may as well get him a guy who is IMO a dream come true for him and who can only get better. This may sound funny but he can be the guard version of Lee! as far as potential and ability to develop he is worth buying another second rd pick maybe the thunders pick because they have way to many.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUt6aV4mpec

I always got where you were coming from BigDaddybluesman!

many of us have our beef with mgt but we just want this team to start being a top franchise.

Don’t let others stop your flow! As DaGawd says “That’s real talk!”

lol man. Why do you like Thorn so much? After all, he essentially traded two good assets(AT THE TIME, not anymore lol) Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson for Yi Jianlian and Courtney Lee. Also, the Nets had 12 wins this year. Great job Rod!

Here is something a big name said about him

“Rick Majeras called him Gonzaga’s top back court player and compared him to Deron Williams”

lol Blackwood. You just made me hate Bouldin with a passion by comparing him to Lee.

Actually, I like Bouldin. I haven’t seen Randle play, but I trust your opinion on him. I don’t like Pittman however. I just saw that he has 20% body fat still. After getting through Jerome James and still having Eddy Curry, Im not sure Pittman is the way to go. Curry would kill his career if he’s still on the roster.

I didn’t say put on a happy face, I’m not endorsing what went on the past ten years, I’m not saying that the past ten years were anything but awful, you can do whatever you want…except bail. You can be pissed and frustrated all you want, I’m just saying true fans don’t jump ship when times are bad. Have fun in Jersey.

PS: Of course Stern loves money, the NBA is a business, it just happens to be one that’s very entertaining.

Great pts! Vince Carter and Yi Jianlan are surely disasters for me. Yet, VC and Kidd was ok but I can’t stand VC game especially in the clutch.

No GM is perfect and ever will be. Thorn is good and I’ll go to battle with him in charge over Walsh anyday!

Don’t sleep on Rod, Rod would throw away a year while positioning the team to be in a better position the next year. He seems to be a strategic thinker. After all, Lopez development didn’t suffer this year did it?

Was there players on the Nets that you felt deserve to be playing and wasn’t?

I would be shocked if THORN didn’t have a few gimmacks up his sleeve. We shall see.

Funny thing is that I was scared like heck that Thorn was head faking Isiah into getting VC! lol

Exactly.

Where my fries Fauci? Do I need to talk to your supervisor?

Nobody is jumping ship. We are Titantic anyway and you know what happened to those that jumped do ya?

Some of just frustrated and want better decisions made period.

“Rod would throw away a year while positioning the team to be in a better position the next year.”

So you advocate Rod Thorn throwing away a year to be in a position to improve the next, but you don’t advocate Walsh’s plan of doing exactly that?

Well, I mean players minutes are up to the coach, not the gm. And we all know how you feel about the coach lol.

I was also literally quaking that the Knicks were going to end up with VC. I think Dagawd came up with the best nickname for him, Halfman Half Fadeway, which is hilarous. I also love Basketbawful, who has taken to calling him VAG, which sums him up pretty nicely.

I like Lopez a lot. He projects as a great player. But any player who’s part of one of the worst teams in NBA history will suffer some development imo. Thats just a really bad situation for a young player to be stuck in.

Right because I work at McDonalds, hey x, where’d you go to college?

PS: BigDaddyBluesman said he’s jumping ship to the Nets, never said any of that to you so I don’t know why you care.

The Nets kept developing their players even though they were losing! Young players of plenty of PT and Lopez kept improving.

That is what I wanted us to do despite what our record was or could have been.

I surely don’t think Thorn came into the year with that plan. They had lots of injuries early especially with Harris and that team never got on the ground under Frank!

Now if you ask me why Thorn kept Frank so long, Frankly I don’t get that one myself.

So I’m not against Walsh’s plan. I just think our coach didn’t help out our GM so they he could have been in a better position to wheel and deal this summer. Don’t ya get it?

Tommy Dee should give us a visible “PRE-LEBRON JAMES KNICKS FAN” STATUS if LeBron signs with the Knicks – just to expose the sell-outs lol.

I went to Grad school in Ohio!

That’s just frustration fauci! Let the man vent!

BTW, I don’t look down on ya one bit for working at Mickadees! I still expect great service though!

+1. This is part of the reason why I don’t want Lebron here lol. All the sell-out fake fans. We will be like LA East. I don’t ever want to see us like Lakers fans during the playoffs.

LMAO!

I think many of us were scared about getting VC. DaGawd is simply hilarious!

I hear ya about Lopez. I”ll never argue that losing helps one game better than winning but Lopez did develop somewhat ok. He probably could have been better in a winning environment.

His brother is PHX seems to be more agile or less stiff! But the Nets Lopez is much more polished offensively.

I

What grad school? What about undergrad? What major?

LOL I know off the top the Lee thing is like WTF!?! lol but he could be like an out of the blue level dude,6’5 play maker with a jumper & plays with passion (on both ends lol)

Pittman I am telling you he is the anti-Curry lol the guy has gotten better every year! lost 100LBS works hard humble plays with a passion and can give us that Perkins / Big baby impact at his worse. Not Curry at all in fact here check this out….

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJg7Is5A6Rk

I was prodigy that went straight from grammar school (wink wink) to Grad School! lol

In all seriousness, I had a triple major and a minor. Finance, Computer Science and Accting and minored in Math!

I won’t give out my college names right now. You may go to the archives and see me sitting on the team bench. lol

Yet, I played several sports.

That probably would happen and it would be annoying at first, but the Knicks already have a good fanbase and fans that go to games no matter what (as opposed to Miami who has a top-3 player on the team and still can’t draw fans). I can just take solace in knowing that I waited this one out along with all the other TKB faithful.

Interesting. Well good luck with the D’Antoni-bashing, I’m off for the weekend. Take it easy man.

lol.

No, I mean I actually did like Pittman. He seems like a class act who would work hard and just be a good character player and team player.

But Im still worried that his body fat % is that high. I saw how much weight he lost and thought it would be much lower. I really wish the best for him though, and would not be mad if we ended up with him.

Big Baby is flat out balling in these playoffs. He’s been a big part of many Celtics wins.

Take care fauci!

I see ya got some pull at Mickadees to get the weekend off! I underestimated you!

I am loving this. GO PHX!!

rite now i see pittman as the BIG O-MILLER which isn’t bad at all..

He is a classic low post bull bigger and stronger then big baby and more up side IMO. He can be a dominant low post player and as far as the body fat yea its 20% and getting lower but still only 3% more then cusins. He is 20 more pounds lost and one really good PG away from being everything EC could have been.

Yea Knowledge O-Miller got clowned a lot but was an effective big man during his run.

X you’re hysterical (WRONG) as usual…the Nets (or Thorn who you love for some reason) Played the young guys cuz THEY LITERALLY HAD NO ONE ELSE!! they traded all their vets for draft picks and/or 2nd yr guys…and i HATE it when people say Lopez & the Nets young core are so good…THEY WON 12 GAMES!!! AND GOT KILLED IN MOST OF THE LOSSES!!…Look at T.Evans who had a young core…he put the team on his back and not only WON MORE GAMES THAN THE NETS he also kept the Kings competitive in games even tho they didn’t win many not to mention they play in a more competitive div & conference!!! BOTTOM LINE: NETS SUCK D!@KH…F@*K THE NETS & ANYONE SIDING W/ THEM OVER THE NYK!!!

X is so much like the extreme right wing in this country…just like Rush & Hannity (X) He wants Obama (NYK) to fail so bad and yet call themselves true americans w/ america &americans best interest at heart (CLAIMING TO BE THE MOST SUPREME OF FANS) while siding w/ insurance co… wallstreet…oil co…and laws that advocate harassing people who don’t look like them (HATING D’ANTONI TO A PSYCHOTIC DEGREE..SHITTING ON GALLO..SHITTING ON TONY D…SHITTING ON THE 2010 PLAN…DEFENDING THE NETS!!!!!!! PREACHING ON HOW CHI, MIA, NJ YOU NAME IT ARE SUPREMELY BETTER THAN NYK) And claiming that only right wing conservative lunatics have the answers to steer this country in the right direction (TRADE FOR CP3, WHO IS NOT AVAILABLE!!!!!!!!…FIRE WALSH…FIRE D’ANTONI, I’M SURE SO HE CAN HAVE HIM TO HIMSELF!!!) B/C X knows best cuz he rode the bench @ a Boys&Girls Club League and knows what it takes to win in the NBA…HAHAHAHA!!!!! That about sums it up right EVERYONE?? GO BE A NETS FAN AND TAKE BIGBLUECRYBABY WITH YOU~!!!! Both you crybabies have better things to say about them anyway…
Sorry for the rant fellow tkb FANS…about the draft:
I really hope we do pick up that 1st rd pick and come out w/ any combo of VERNANDO, PITTMAN, SANDERS, RANDLE, WARREN, AND/OR ALABI…NO SF, PF!!! ONLY PGs OR Cs!!!!!! DW can’t make the same mistake twice

hey tommy,

what about jose calderon……

calderon bosh for lee curry

if bouldin and pittman were two of our FOUR 2nd round picks id be pretty happy

d’antoni only plays eight or nine people anyway we we’ll need four or five people for the bench and practices lol

i liked the BIG O-MILLER..
it’s not a diss at all the kid can become better all he need to do is put in the work dude has a big body an like u said dude can be a very dominant post player he just gotta learn how to pass out the post an don’t be turnover prone like CURRY..

Kobe is the freakin best!! that shot was nutz!! lol

yeah that one over Dragic was freaking sick. That was good defense too by Dragic.

If LA didn’t have Ron Artest, they would be dominant lol. I don’t know what happened to him…

lol Hell to the yes I would be as well but I still want Randle on the team lol those thats 3 so question is who would be the forth pick? lol

I know its not Knowledge Im just agreeing that Miller was better then the jokes made about him. sad that he could not find the dedication that Pittman has.

the moment Lopez went out the Phoenix defense collapsed. The moment Nash goes out the offense collapsed. Tells you about the importance of those two positions… pg and center. knicks take note.

By any chance are you related to YO SON?

If NO takes on EC’s contract and we include Wilson then yes we can afford all 3

+1 lol

ya i dont give fk wat someones bodyfat is dude is a beast

i wouldnt be suprised if the knicks pull a “jets” and sign everyone they liked that didnt get drafted

this draft year is looking crazy bc besides the first couple of picks no one has a clue where anyone is going to get drafted. think that has to do with it being a pretty deep draft more so than a big drop off in talent. drafting solid role players is just as(almost as) important as drafting stars. the thing is we’re gonna be signing vet min contracts, y not draft someone whos younger with more upside. i think its crazy right now when i see mock drafts that have bledsoe, warren, and torrance going in the 2nd and pittman randle bouldin not even being drafted

i said this before but given the opportunity randle could have a 40 point plus game next year, his range is too good, and next to players that are threats (unlike on cal where it was him vs the other team) he could get open looks all day on kickouts

the BIG O was also a good passer shot blocker he did his thing an when he started he put up good number..

pittman is taller an 310 use that mass an bang with the lil boy on the low thats all PITT has to do

damn. Frye is a worse defender than Lee…wtf?

alot of good enough dudes mightn’t get drafted donnie gotta do his work he can make this team better in every aspect this summer..

1 dude is A coleman donnie better give him a holla if he goes undrafted

“If LA didn’t have Ron Artest, they would be dominant lol. I don’t know what happened to him…”

It’s called the triangle, he’s still struggling with it.

b4 i saw the name i thought it was YO SON…lmao..

in college 1 was used for D an 1 was use for O but also did it all i knew the lopez in phx was gonna be a decent player in the league an who knows mayb he can be above decent..

lol, I was actually thinking the same thing.

He is not only struggling with the triangle… not playing hard enough, missing open jumpshots, dribbling the ball between 3 defenders and fouling with 0.7 seconds left on the gameclock has nothing to do with the triangle.

Do you really want to give x-man another reason to say “I told you (…)”!!!

could be cuz he doesn’t rebound as good as lee

lol, Artest wishes it was just the triangle. But its not. Im watching him, the guy can’t dribble, shoot, make layups, take it strong to the hoop. He can’t do anything on offense.

He’s like Jared Jeffries, except he’s actually a good man defender.

knicks should hire charles barkley for something

He needs to have a go-to-guy to play against to be effective. I think he’ll be more effective against Boston (Pierce).

in high school i played in a rectangle offense my first year after 15 games i was good.it’s all good if u like something if u really don’t it will take u longer to learn etc

lol, I for one really enjoy X-man’s comments. He always has some witty remark or hilarious thing to say.

Anyway, I think its kind of ridiculous for people to say the Suns are a good defensive team now or anything like that. They are basically the same, except Gentry has done an absolutely fantastic job developing the bench and he actually plays a center like Lopez.

In fact, I actually think if anything the Suns are better offensively than they ever were under Dantoni(although clearly not tonight), and the same if not worse defensively.

Charles Barkley doesn’t like Mike D’Antoni. He used to Latrell Sprewell MD on a regular basis on TNT.

Yikes! I just git rid of Fauci and here comes MiamiMoe!

He’s the Sarah Palin of b-ball knowledge!

yeah he still does. He’s one of the people constantly talking about how the Suns are better defensively now. He HATES fastbreak teams, which is odd considering he played on many of them.

yes i have always liked barkley at 1 point he was my fav player

he doesn’t hate them he just hates guys that don’t coach both ends..

u know what cracks me up watching artest trying to dribble..lmao.

lol i wasnt being serious i just love chuck… everytime the dude talks he actually makes sense even though he doesnt sound all that bright…and he had the best taco bell commercial of all time

oh and FK REGGIE MILLER such a douche i hate having to listen to him right now

LOL…Nah no disrespect to YO SON but we don’t say Yo Son in Miami…but i see what you mean both me & YoSon use alot of CAPS & … combos when we post (just look at past posts). And we’re both passionate fans

lol. Im telling you, it really reminds me of Mr Intangibles himself Jared Jeffries at this point.

You didn’t get rid of me, I just chose to ignore you…just wanted to clear that up. On that note, MiamiMoe, chill out with the rampant political analogy, relax man it’s just a blog.

By the by, I too thought it was YO SON haha.

yo X everytime i see u start of with YIKES u got me rollin DUDE..that gotta be your favorite WORD….lmao..

Did you see him play? Kid is good but I can’t look at that thing on his neck for 82 games.

What up Miami, you feel better now that you’ve vented? Yeah I rode the bench more than I wanted to but b-ball wasn’t my best sport by far. Yet I wished that it was!

You still wearing Depends with your pants hanging down off your butt? I could tell you were full of sh#t!

Why u trying to talk politics? Do we really need to know 2 things that you have no clue about?

It’s too bad you left NY because you know what they say, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. I guess you tried anywhere since the first part was such a bust for ya!

Maybe you can write the song backwards! lol You think that way so it shouldn’t be so hard.

i think if the lakers win tonite they will close out the suns in phx

I like Barkley too.

The NBA needs another Barkley… a superstar who doesn’t give a F lol. And he’s far from being a stupid person… but he can be quite dogmatic at times.

LOL DaGawd!

D-a-m-n Fauci, I thought you were leaving for the weekend?

I guess I spoke too soon in that you don’t have too much pull at MicKadees!

I overestimated you! lol

i would love to see JJ an ARTEST go 1on1…
that should be a comedy reel

Aw ds man you were on of my favorite posters until you said that about x-man’s posts. You usually post solid and constructive comments, something that we could use more of around here.

Haha just kidding of course man.

Ya I do like that a guy like Lopez gets so much burn in a system like this, but I don’t see how there is so much more effort on defense. D’Antoni’s Suns team were not bottom of the barrel on defense, they were always somewhere in the middle so I don’t really see how Gentry has amped up the defense so much.

thats seemed up Dude…

barkley speaks his mind period. sometimes its total nonsense but I take that any day over the snide remarks of Reggie or the contrived logic of the Kenny the Jet lol.. plus, he is funny as hell..

Why u dislike Isiah?

thats 1 of the reasons he might get drafted.
that thing is huge…

LOL. That would be the funniest thing ever. It would take days just for each one to get to 7.

On the next and1 mixtape LOL

i watch inside the nba just to hear charles…

thats from the original or the remake?

GGGGRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…….

yo BIGDADDYBLUE keep the comments coming DuDe…

lol Fauci. You and Xman are just rivals lol. You have to enjoy some of those posts back and forth right? Why else do you keep responding then?

Lol. I know Xman enjoys them.

Agreed on your last paragraph. Those are my 2 biggest problems with Dantoni…Doesn’t really work on developing a bench and seems to hate playing traditional centers.

lol…………………………….

I hate Channing Frye.

I hate the way he plays and I hate his face.

Ill take anything over hearing Reggie yell at me.

Seriously, I would rather listen to a game called by Al Trautwig and Tommy Heinsohn then listen to Reggie. He’s the worst.

I think Boston vs. Phoenix would actually be a good series to watch. We would get to see a future hall of fame PG going up against maybe the best young PG in the league. I think Garnett and Amare would also be a pretty good matchup. Both teams love to run, so at the very least it would be exciting to watch.

lol. +1

I couldn’t stand him on the Knicks. I thought he was the softest, most overrated player ever….Until this year when I watched David Lee do his thing.

laughed so hard at that hahaha

He’s thinking too much, you have to read and react which he’s not doing. He doesn’t know when to shoot, drive or pass. One night he settles for the jumper too much, others he hesitates or doesn’t shoot it a all. That’s why I say it’s the triangle, I think his defense has been good in stretches it all depends whether the refs are letting him be physical or not on any given night.

No.

His sister is.

reggie sounds a little like kermit the frog

danni boy’s dream player is MAGIC JOHNSON

I stand corrected. 2nd worst.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCsuO934-QU
classic inside the nba..

Why Alvin why? A play for Channing Frye out of the timeout…Seriously?

Nash is going nuts out there. Just keep the ball in his hands and good things will happen. He’s outcoaching himself with that play call.

Spoken like a child to an adult fauci.

Real fans don’t do this and they don’t do that, the world according to fauci.

Real fans are what? You wrote the definition of what a real fan is. A real fan is what? Who cares…..do you think they care about the fans? Most don’t…….no matter what they say it’s about their careers and money period. Some people are nice and legit in sports but most are not, it’s all bullshit.

Why should I have any connection to a sports team? It has no bearing on my life other than to be entertained. Just like a musician or actor, that’s all it is, entertainment.

To be loyal to any entity that does not reward you in some way is stupid. People should be loyal to those who show you respect and give back. I don’t see that with the Knicks since Dolan has taken over.

Anyone wants to comment on how D’antoni made Nash and not the other way around?

HaS – Is it still the triangle?

thank god for Artest..

We have to swap b-ball stories some time! lol

And my daddy can beat your daddy…..

My goodness how old are some of the people here?

These type of posts are the reason I come back, it’s hysterical to hear Knick fans act like this.

It’s a sports team not your family. They don’t know you or who you are and they don’t care yet some people talk about them like it’s their blood relative……hilirious!!!!!!!!!!

Ron Artest is such a knucklehead.

LOL He’s doing his best RalpheAL impersonation!

here we go
kobe gets another chance to win a big game at the end

oh my f.. god!

lol. I got deja vu. Jared Jeffries against the Kings anyone?

LMAO

WOW!!!
By the way Frye sucks…

Yep. Surely no one else wants to ball other than maybe Fisher! Either way, LA better win in PHX or they are in some trouble.

No freaking way….

lmao @ artest game winner that should get him back on track.lol

rotfl KILL ME

LOL. Ron Artest/Jared Jeffries. He made a layup. LOL. wow. I will proceed to eat crow right now, although not really since he’s the only reason it came down to that.

Queens in the house.

Good night.

Terrible defense by Richardson. Artest never should have touched that ball.

I hate the Lakers. They are the luckiest f*ing team, man. Why??

Yep but it’s hard to expect Kobe to shoot an air ball and extremely short!

The Suns are still in this and they don’t seem to be scared of the Lakers. It could go 7 games and be real interesting.

I’m really happy for him though

That’s a special kid, the NBA and the world in general needs more young people like that, excellent. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

yeah. what was that shot by Kobe?? blocked?

QB in the building gotta luv that he’s always shouting out his hood..

If Lebron and Bosh came here, well hell yes I would be back as a fan, you would be stupid not to….DUH.

I agree. Once they get over the disappointment, they should feel really good about themselves. Just don’t give Frye that many shots!

that mos def reminds me of danni boy.u always gotta remind your players to box out u gotta tell em that like 5 times in that timeout..

+1. He’s a loyal guy. Good for him.

He needs to stop shooting 3′s though…seriously.

Yes, he is terrible. All he knows is chucking. He might win you a few games, but he’ll lose you many more.

He’s a perfect fit on PHX. They need guys like him.

your from jackson heights rite or corona?

Frye is one dimensional and rather soft! He’s awesome when he’s hitting those 3s and he plays better at home.

I thought the Lakers would sweep and I was totally wrong. The Suns are showing to real grit.

The Lakers and the Celtic better win their next game or it’s a total crap shoot in game 7.

well, let’s hope now that the Celtics will become the first team to loose after being up by 3.. that would save the day..

making fun of artest an he ends up hittin the game winner..
that’s called speaking of the devil..

Yes he is

yup an something is tellin me the magic might win
not to sure about the suns..

Frye is a mental and physical puppy!

can u imagine how many 3′s he would put up playing under danni boy..lmao

lol. That just gave me nightmares. That would be Jared Jeffries x 1000. He would probably take more 3′s than Gallo lol.

I hear ya! But There’s always VC (or should I say Halfman Half Fadeway or VAG) to count on to do his thing in the clutch…

He still ain’t no Fredrick Weiss though!

Then why does he keep playing Tragic Johnson then? (Duhon)

Why u so stubborn Fauci? What;’s that saying? “If a tree falls in the forest, did it fall on your head?

frye is still in shock did any1 see him using the sharpie upside down an pressin it like it’s a pen.lmao

Damn Lakers. Wasn’t expecting the Suns to make such a great push on the road.

And he wouldn’t even be allowed to play defense!!!

This one’s for my boy x-man!

I think he supposed to shoot quickly because they knew that he was going to be double-teaming – leaving enough space for another guy to rebound after the shot. I’m not saying that the airball was intentional lol but I think Phil Jackson wanted him to take that shot.

double-teamed

good comment keep it coming

LOL.

Yes, Craig Brackins…wanted the dude since day 1….reminds me of an unselfish al harrington…

Suns needed that game there done! BTW Mets kickin ass and takin names!!!

I feel like Orlando has snapped out of it plus seems like boston is physically falling apart.

I WOOULDNT bail on the knicks cuz of ten or twelve lousy years,but i would bail if the KNICKs sign LEPHONY James…

eff lebron,eff him up his ass” THE GODFATHER

heeey wait a second how did I get thrown into this mess…..ahahhaa…I haven’t had a rant in almost 48 hours……
mia u really went in on my man X…..couldnt have been me……

but the fact that you guys thought he was me, shows Me that you guys actually take the time and read what I have to say…..or at least acknowledge it…..what more can I really ask for…..

aaaaawwwwww you guys…..

GROUP HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do people think about Samardo Samuels and Ishmael Smith with our 2 picks??

Mo let me find out your hanging out with “Van Jones” at the communist knick fans for social justice meetings!!

lol besides that glad to see you again I agree that a mix of most of those players could be good for the Knicks and that Mr.Magoo cant afford to make the same mistake twice.

Clarence Witherspoon is who i think of when i see Samardo Samuels except less athletic. Ishmael Smith is my boy VOR’s man great speed good handle and can see the floor but zero jumper and does not have the wing span of a Rondo or any other special aspect of his game that could make him a starter IMO, but if he fix that he is trouble.

I was thinking the exact same thing, a lot of my friends like ball but are very bandwagon and I know they will all jump on the Knicks if LBJ came here

We can afford all 3 without giving up Wilson as well, but I think the guy prefaced giving up Wilson.

I was born in NY but have lived most of my life in Florida. My dad was a Knicks fan, and watching all those mid 90′s teams with him as a kid sold me for life. But I can’t tell you all the crap I catch from Magic and Heat fans here about how I should “just give up” on the Knicks and convert.

I’m praying to the basketball gods to give Donnie the wisdom to draft and trade well and LBJ and Bosh the courage to turn this place around.

All so that I may shove it in my friends face, Amen

I was always a Net fan since the the beginning of the ABA days.

I’m a basketball fan period and that’s why I feel the way I do about Dolan and the Knicks. It’s enough of this clown.

to tell you the truth i didn’t make the political analogy w/ a political agenda…i just thought it was interesting how you push your POV w/out any real substance and think just cuz you post it a million times that somehow it will come true…and quite frankly its irritating how you say you’re a knick fan but go out of your way to side w/ every player, coach, gm, owner, etc. at the expense of the NYK…
I’m really suprised you don’t support DW more seeing how both you guys have a lot riding on this summer…DW “put all his eggs in 1 basket” and cleared cap space to make a run at the most anticipated FA class ever and if he strikes out he will take a hit to his credibility, unless plan B-Z actually produces a good product on the floor and we become relevant again…
YOU X have put all your eggs in the “NYK SUCKS, DW SUCKS, D’ANTONI SUCKS, WE WON’T GET ANY QUALITY FA & WILL SUCK” basket i hope you and all TKB members realize that if the NYK do succeed w/ OPERATION 2010 and/or pick up a contending squad w/ the money we do have you will have ZERO!!!! CREDIBILITY AS A NYK FAN & BLOGGER…ZERO!!!
The only things that will save you is:
If D’antoni and/or DW get fired
We get CP3 in a trade
Operation 2010 does go as planned and we still suck
NONE OF WHICH I SEE AS POSSIBLE so good luck X

P.S. My bad about the political rant i just wanted to put a different spin on my disgust for X’s POV but it failed and admit that…X honestly i don’t personally dislike you i just think your POV is asinine & completely wrong…but nothing personal…
FINALLY yea i love NY but Miami is my home and i love it…its paradise…the women, the culture, the chronic…everything first class fellas…oh did i mention the fly hunnies??? NY is a marvel and i’m very proud of it but Miami is a paradise…GO KNICKS

I hear ya BigBlue i’ve dealt w/ the NYK bashing from all my friends for too long i can’t wait to shove it in there face…idk how it is in Orlando but in Miami the fans are such a pathetic bunch…they’re either bandwagon Bulls bans who jumped on the Heat train when MJ bounced or they’re bandwagon Heat fans from the time Wade got drafted…die hard Heat fans who stuck w/ the Heat thru the ups and downs w/out first bein a MJ Bulls fan first is rare…it’s actually disgusting if you ask me…pitiful

godfather part 4 “VITO BUYS AN NBA TEAM”

cuz you have no sense of humor?

X-Man just give it up B

I like all the players are working out. A good mixture of bigs and combo guards. It appears they are going to go one big and one small in the second round.
