Which Previous Knicks Player would you add to this team? 

Post#1 » by Fortune55 » Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:45 pm

Which Ex Knick would you love to add back onto this team that is currently still playing? And We wouldnt be trading any current players for them or anything like that. Just a question of which Knick you missed most that is no longer with us.

My Choice would definitely be Wilson Chandler.

I think a healthy Gallo would be great in the traingle as a 3 or stretch 4 to play next to Melo.

Damn, a healthy Gallo would be a perfect fit in the triangle.

Tyson Chandler, so we can then trade him again and get more assets? :cheesygrin:

Seriously though...hard to say...the 2 most statistically impressive former Knicks currently playing are David Lee and Zach Randolph. Both can score as a secondary option quite handedly and both rebounds well. Lee's a better passer (though Randolph has shown that if needed he can also pass well for a PF) but probably a worse defender (Randolph obviously isn't a defensive plus either) so it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other. But I'd have to say you have to go with one of these 2 guys. I'd probably go with Randolph since his contract expires at the end of this season while Lee's doesn't until after next season.

Other guys I'd like back? Wilson Chandler, Nate Robinson, Trevor Ariza, Jeremy Lin, Channing Frye, Jordan Hill, Timofey Mozgov, Sergio Rodriguez would all also be interesting.

No...I'm not mentioning the other guy. Don't want you know who back along with him. Yes, he would be a fit as well...but no.

Chris Smith just so we can laugh at his self delusion and then cut him again.

May be a few years too late, but Marbury would have been a good fit.

I would like Gallo too...However, here is the real answer that trumps everyone's answers of current players...

Id love to see Gallo, Wilson Chandler or David Lee especially and Mozgov would be great too

Ariza is another guy who would be really nice on this team

Did we draft Nene and THEN deal him or did we deal the pick? Either way, I'd want a big so Hill, Frye or Lee would be my considerations with Hill getting my biggest endorsement thanks to his contract being an expiring.

Other scenario I'd love...Lee is back, we deal Amare for Kobe and suddenly we have two massive expirings heading into the Kevin Durant Free Agency along with two quality pieces for a triangle offense over the two years we don't have space. That'd put us in contention imo though we'd seriously need a shot blocking C.

I think we did draft Nene, then traded him.

D-Lee would be my choice in this question, if not...Z-Bo.

No. It was one of those prearranged trades like Nate, Kobe, etc....
