“…The Knicks could have enough cap room to sign two maximum-salaried players, and they seem to be counting on the idea that the stars will confer with one another on July 1. The roster will look a lot more attractive to James if he knows Bosh is coming, too.
Smith said those conversations would [...]

I get the question all the time:
“Why didn’t D’Antoni play Darko”- and it’s one that I can really answer other than to suspect what I’ve seen from the couple of handfuls of practices I attended when he was here.
When I saw Darko in Saratoga I was excited because I though he was going to get [...]

BOX SCORE
Despite wretched shooting, the Knicks were only down four points with a shade over 5 minutes to play.
The team all night didn’t have an answer for Manu Ginobili or Tim Duncan which isn’t a surprise so Mike D’Antoni decided to mix things up down the stretch and it made a huge difference. The team [...]

In addition to continuing the evaluation of guys like Bill Walker and Toney Douglas, to name a few, I’m very interested in scoping Manu Ginobili.
Ginobili, a free agent a year’s end, will be 33 in July. Is he a perfect fit for this system? The great thing about the Spurs is that they do everything [...]

When D’Antoni was asked yesterday what his expectation was on what Curry could give the Knicks and also how much he would look to play him, the coach replied, [...]

Really D-12? In 2011? Which part?
Oh well, we’ll see, right?. Who knows.

First of all I’ll say it again. Max players are star end of game players. Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Carmelo, Pierce, KG, Dirk, a healthy T-Mac and Tim Duncan.
I may have missed one or two but I didn’t add Chris Bosh or Joe Johnson. To me, they are secondary players. Slightly under max players. The last [...]
