I mean, has it gotten so bad now, that we cant even recruit a career nbdl guy back to this club?

we do need some bodies for the C spot, whats the delay?

The Knicks had interest in Barron, but Knicks president Donnie Walsh, according to a source, has not heard recently from the Barron camp and isn’t sure what his future is.

“I think we’re done,” a team source said.



I hope we get something done...I want him back in NY.

It means that the Knicks want to resign him but Barron's people aren't responding. It doesn't seem like the he wants to come back...Knicks at least tried (supposedly).

Barron's camp reortedly wanted a little too much money and IIRC, a guaranteed contract of 2 yrs with a 3rd year option, so Walsh went and got Jordan in the draft. Then he signed Mozgov and there was no room for Barron. Now that Jordan is stashed for a year, Barron gets revisited.

Jordan isnt stashed, he is trash though.

Earl Barron wasn't going to be a difference maker anyway.

Barron must have been expecting to cash in on this years free agency bonanza because of his late season showing... I bet he was banking on his former team the Heat snatching him up to complement the "big 3".

We have 5 players that could play the 5 spot Mozilla.Ronny,Curry,Amare and AR,I really wouldnt call it a NEED as much as another guard.

ronny is a 20 min backup at best
amare at C is risking a injury
AR isnt big enough
who is mozilla? mosgov? that guy has shown nothing

Earl Barron is no Jackie Butler. If we kept him, all our problems would be solved.
