I have a great deal of respect for Ian Thomsen, but this note in his most recent web column had my head scratching:
“I have learned that the Clippers’ offer to the Knicks for Zach Randolph last week was much more audacious than first suspected. In addition to Randolph, they wanted the Knicks to send them [...]

Ian Thomsen of Sports Illustrated, who did a great job of breaking the Randolph-to-LA, has learned that it was more than just a second round pick exchange.
“I have learned that the Clippers’ offer to the Knicks for Zach Randolph last week was much more audacious than first suspected. In addition to Randolph, they wanted the [...]

Donnie Walsh and Mike D’Antoni took an important step toward changing the culture of the New York Knicks last week, formally signing free agent point guard Chris Duhon to a two-year contract.
However, it wasn’t the signing of Duhon that will change the Knicks insomuch as it was how he was signed. Since Walsh and D’Antoni’s [...]

Donnie Walsh had his chance.
By sending Zach Randolph, owner of one of the worst contracts in the entire NBA, to the Clippers for a second-round pick, Walsh could have made a huge leap forward in getting the team to a reasonable cap number. He could have allowed Eddy Curry and David Lee the opportunity to [...]

Donnie Walsh, yesterday from the Duhon press conference:
“I would like to make this a statement: we have a new situation here. I’m a new guy as a president; we have a new coach,” Walsh said. “Let’s see how this thing can go from here . . . We’ve got to look at our team and [...]

I’ve seen my fair share of basketball over the years, and have studied it heavily. I’ve done what most of you have done, mastered season after season of NBA Live, dominated fantasy basketball leagues, even had the opportunity to play D-III hoops (which I passed on). I played on six basketball teams in my [...]

Taking Danilo Gallinari, a 19-year-old Italian forward, may give skeptical fans Frédéric Weis flashbacks. Drafting Arizona’s Jerryd Bayless, who may or may not be a point guard, would only expand the Knicks’ corps of not-quite-point guards. Ditto for U.C.L.A.’s Russell Westbrook and Indiana’s Eric Gordon.
But Walsh is a veteran [...]

Marc Berman has some thoughts heading into Draft Week.
Indications are Walsh and his new hire Mike D’Antoni want to come away from Thursday night with a point-guard-of-the-future, whether via trade (T.J. Ford and Leandro Barbosa are being heavily shopped) or from a collection of combo guards plentiful in the middle of the lottery.
During interviews, D’Antoni [...]

Greg Hutchins of The Garden Grasp outlines “4 points” that need to be addressed before training camp. He believes a solid number six pick, roster balance, coaching, and the atmosphere of the locker room are essential for the team to move forward.
I agree with Greg on every one of these statements. I believe that points [...]

Marc Berman reports, in what should be viewed as a positive turn of events, that the days of Stephan Marbury dividing the Knicks appear to be over. Team president Donnie Walsh responded to questions about Marbury’s “coach killing” history with “I know one thing. Mike’s not going to be the problem,” Walsh said [...]
