We have made some great additions this Offseason
Amare(Top 3-5 PF pending on who you ask, Athletic beast, Great Finisher, Good shooter, Can block shots and rebound, Good pick and roll player, has matured and looks healthy)
Randolph (This kid is a star in the making, there is a reason why GS is so upset at losing him. At 6'11, he has all the skillsets to be a star. Good shotblocker, Good Athlete, God handle for his size, Loves playing defense, Hes smarter then he looks(source GS board), good passer, good rebounder, boxes out. ANd most important he has a great work ethic, he is going to continue to improve. Stop comparing him to Camby please, they are nothing alike.
Mother Russia (Dont know much about him, but he looks to me as if he can be our Marc Gasol. He may not be as skilled as Gasol, but his build is similar, but Russia is a better athlete. a legit 7 footer who will block shots and protect the paint. I LOVE IT!
Raymon Felton (Great pickup, he can play fast pace and is an unselfish player, Our only true pg on the team and the first one we have had since Marbury if he can be considered as one. He greatly improved from the year before to last season, just taking a look at his FG and 3pt% compared to the past. He can break down the defense and create for his teamates. He is also a pretty damn good defender.
Buike (Great outside shooter, career 46% fg and over 40% 3pt shooter, great athlete, strong player, poor defender and is a chucker, idc if he chucks as long as he keeps shooting 40% from 3. Good pickup, and could be our starting 2 guard)
Turiaf (Strong, Athletic, Good defender, best shotblocking big per 48 mins. Hustle player, Good lockerroom guy, He is an underated aquisition. He will play 15-20 mins off the bench and we will love his heart and hustle. Can also hit the mid range shot if left open. Not much of an offensive player, but he will grind hard in the paint and play gritty defense.)
Rautins/Fields (2 smart players, I am a Syracuse fan and i love Rautins. He is a great shooter and a clutch shooter, Very good passer as well, Has alot of heart and plays Defense and hustles. I like the fields pick too, he played very well yesturday and i have liked him since before watching that game, i didnt really know him in college but i have heard alot of great things about him and seen some video after th draft. He is a craftly palyer, he knows how to score too with a variety of moves, He reminds me of Kevin Martin in that aspect.
Overall, i give the knicks an A for this offseason, Even though we didnt get Lebron, but outside of the Heat we have had the best offseason. This is the first time in years we have had a Complete team and teamates who compliment each other well. WE have shotblocking, we have shooting, we have a PG, We have defenders, we have Versitility. Walkers in great shape and has beenw orking on his game, Toney Douglas has been busting his ass along with Gallo. We have some young guys who will be better then last year as well.
Also, think about how many teams have gotten WORSE this offseasons by losing all their big players, while we have gotten better. The cavs who were a 60 win team are now a 20 win team, No bosh for Toronoto, The bulls have no depth, The nets are wasting their cap space on 3rd tier players. Bobcats lost their starting PG. Etc Etc.
I know all of you think we are a 500 team, but i think we are better then that. And its not because im biased either, im a realist. These passed years i knew we were going to suck, but this year is different.I love the new knicks roster, and im going to love it more when Melo hops aboard.
PS: sry for mispells, but my screen cuts off when i type more then a page of words and makes it hard, and am now late after writing this all, so i have no time to spellcheck.
