A Really Difficult Decision

I read a note by one of the local columnists who described Jordan Hill working out well after practice and I just want to make sure that fans understand that is very much common place with the Knicks rookie.
Walsh told reporters a few weeks ago in talking about Hill that his range as a shooter [...]

Jennings Comes to Town

It’s been a busy week from a point guard discussion from the coach’s decision to bench Chris Duhon in favor of Nate Robinson, to Isiah Thomas on WFAN, to the passing of Knicks legend Dick McGuire.
And now, here comes Brandon Jennings to end the work-week.
There has been no bigger, more polarizing topic for fans this [...]

Knicks Look to Youth as Selling Point

Via Hoopsworld:
“…The Knicks grand plan is certainly no secret.  Since the moment GM Donnie Walsh was hired, his primary objective was blatantly clear: To create and maintain as much cap space as possible in order to go shopping in the summer of 2010.
Still, although Donnie has done a stellar job paring down the Knicks payroll [...]

Suns Looking to Move Amar’e

Via Yahoo-
“…League sources have told Yahoo! Sports that the Suns are increasing their efforts to trade forward Amare Stoudemire.
Recent discussions between the team and Stoudemire’s agent didn’t move towards an agreement on a contract extension.
The All-Star can become a free agent after the season.
“Someone will pay him the max – or very close,” one Western [...]

Jordan Hill is Ready…Almost

As you guys know, I was more than fine when the Knicks passed on Brandon Jennings and selected Jordan Hill in the lottery this past draft. I had Lawson slightly ahead of Jennings on my list and was 60-40 in terms of taking Hill over the Tar Heel PG. Be that as it may I [...]

Would Mike Be Mad? I Don’t See it…

On the heels of my last post, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard people talk on behalf of Mike D’Antoni in terms of the operations with the front office.
And frankly, I’m not buying them all too much.
D’Antoni knew when he took this job that the team was going to be gutted and all signs [...]

Hill’s Time Coming Soon?

Via Isola:
“…(Marcus) Landry’s work ethic and dedication are what caught D’Antoni’s attention. Landry, who played college ball at Wisconsin, made a positive impression from day one by paying his own way to New York in September just for a tryout.
“That kid right there is working a little bit harder and deserves to play,” D’Antoni said [...]

Inside the Numbers

I had a few people email certain points leading to the Knicks turnaround (thanks) and had a discussion with a season ticket holder who had the chance to sit in on a Knicks “town hall” meeting last night who asked to remain nameless.
The numbers told Mike D’Antoni early on in the season that his group [...]

Because ESPN has to Make Lists…

First off, ESPN has been on a bad roll lately. Several writers have continually referred to Danilo Gallinari as a “one-trick pony” because they think that all he does is shoot three pointers. Granted, he does settle too often from deep, the kid is learning how to pace his body over the course of  his [...]

A Quick Follow Up

Tommy Dee says: my man Dogmanx23 tweeted that hoopsworld says if Dampier plays 2,100 minutes this year he will be guaranteed for 2010-11. To date he has played 570 through 21 games. This has been confirmed by HW.
Great post by Alvino. We talked about the Nets stuff, I don’t see the Nets getting involved but [...]
