I hate the Knicks, but I actually like the way their roster is developing.

PG: ? / Toney Douglas
SG: Wilson Chandler/ Bill Walker/Douglas
SF: Danilo Gallinari/Kelenna Azubuike/Walker
PF: Amare Stoudemire/Anthony Randolph/Ronny Turiaf/Gallinari
C: Eddy Curry (lol) / Turiaf

They can put together so many different lineups, but need to get a PG and possibly another wing.

Do your best!

Close out Jim O'Brien's last year at the helm by getting into the second round of the playoffs.

Felton looks to be their target.

Just saw that today. Not a bad guy to lead Mikey D's offense.

I obviously want to make the playoffs, but, as much as I hate to say it, I think we are stuck in Purgatory until we get a a great draft pick. That's more likely to happen in the top 3 than 12-17, obviously.

I just want to win a championship(s). If that means sucking one year, then we've gotta do it. Just missing the playoffs over and over isn't much help.

Wizop · Post #12 » by **Wizop** » Sun Jul 11, 2010 4:12 pm

not all stars get drafted in the top 3 and its easy to make a long list of top 3 busts. as Bill Polian says, if you can hit 560 in the draft you are doing great.

also there are trends in the draft. go back a few years ago when they were drafting high school kids and potential was the rage, and Stephenson could have gone very high. in between Dirk and Tshischvily (sp?) big mobile Europeans were the rage. I suspect if we look back we'll see triples and home runs hit by bucking the trends.

My only goal is that Boomer gets some more props to utilise.

All wrong.

we signed Raymond Felton.

Raymond Felton// Toney Douglas
Wilson Chandler// Kelenna Azubuike// Bill Walker
Danillo Gallinari// Anthony Randolph// Bill Walker
Amare Stoudemire//Anthony Randolph
Ronny Turiaf//Amare for 10-15 mpg// Timofey Mozgov

Same as every year. Make the playoffs and genuinely compete for 82 games

I highly doubt Bill Walker will only be the 3rd option at either SG or SF.

NYK will be good this year IMO. I think they'll finish sixth in the eastern conference.
