Evans is actually pretty good. But I think Purp adds more to the table, he has more potential too.

This team has nothing in common with the Hawks besides Woodson (and possibly Evans).

You know...you don't need to shoot down another player to prop up the other one right? I'd rather have Shawne too, but Evans would still be a nice player to have (albeit, not at the expense of Shawne).

How many times have you actually watched Maurice Evans? Even if you were watching games he was in were you actually watching him at all? How is it possible to have that strong of an opinion on him?

Welcome to the Knicks board, where you can have a strong opinion/belief based off of little, or no, knowledge of the topic/player you are talking about!

Evans is a bit long in the tooth. While he has worked on changing his game, what made Evans Evans was his athleticism. That really isn't there much anymore. His shooting is ok but it's really not that great to be looked at as a shooter. What is to like is, like Shawne Williams, Evans is a guy that isn't afraid when he's out there on the court. It doesn't matter who he's going up against he's not going to back down.

Williams makes more sense on account of age (of Evans) and the fact that Williams can play and guard bigger forwards (which Evans cannot). Evans would be a better "mentor" type and is more of a SG (an area of arguable need) but I think the Knicks are ok in that category right now.

So, yeah, Williams makes more sense. But then again, because Williams makes more sense he is valued more and therefore is likely to get more (from others).

Priority one still is a PG.

Forgot about him lol...I meant talent-wise (stars). Melo and Amar'e are better than anything the Hawks have or have had in recent years.

I never get them mixed up, but I always associate the two.

Sort of like Travis Knight and Mark Madsen.
