Sources (ESPN): Knicks expressing interest in backourt help

1. Holiday
2. Stephenson
3. Lawson
4. Jennings

In my opinion, but Holiday will cost assets. Lawson and Stephenson both aren't getting any minutes but if given the chance to run point Lawson showed he's a 16/10 guy and Stephenson showed 15-6-6

I'd consider only Holiday in that group. Don't want any part of the other three. Also, as HighRizer suggested, Tyreke Evans. A trade of Jose and Seraphin for either one of those two works on trade checker. I might do those. But I don't see NO needing either of our two players. Why would they do those trades?

Here's a basic framework for one

But they already have Asik, Ajinca and Perkins. What would they do with RoLo? I would think a third team might have to get involved? Wouldn't you rather give then Jose and Seraphin?

Is holiday even a available?

thats the thing, I've heard a lot of people throwing around his name but I havent heard anything on the availability front.

Of course. But those guys are not worth Evans. RoLo's a stretch.

Sure - find "team 3."

I don't think we need to go after Conley or Holiday as I believe Jerian Grant is our future starting PG. I would prefer to go after a starting SG like Tyreke Evans.

Grant isn't likely going to be as good as Holiday or Conley,his jumpshots are almost as bad as Rondo,he is MCW lite except MCW was actually good in his rookie season

If we get Evans,he will play PG

No, many are underestimating Grant and he will emerge this year. He will be our starting point guard by the end of this year.

Yeah - nice. I think they're a GREAT potential trading partner. We have players that could help steady their ship without hurting the tank and keep them above that salary floor. They have cap space and picks.

Some kind of deal like this if Memphis decides to end the grit and grind era then rebuild?

Celtics get:
Robin Lopez

Knicks get:
Mike Conley

Grizzlies get:
Langston Galloway
David Lee

Would be nice to get Prigioni back. Don't care if he can't give us much. I just really liked the guy!

Only player I liked the last two years. Wish knicks had him in his prime

You have to realize that Phil is not prioritizing the playoffs this year. He's just not. I think he wants very much for the team to get there. He wants them to go as far as they can. Of course. But it's not the number 1 priority for the franchise. His goals are bigger and broader than that. And maybe the most important part of the plan is building a team with the right character and chemistry to get the job done in NY. Phil has said this countless times... but we still forget....

Could not agree more

nailed it.

I think the Isiah Thomas years of one reclamation project after another has weighed on us.

All the names here are guys with "what if" attached or high-risk. Phil took a high-risk on Zing because he appeared to have character. Lance? no. Jennings? eh...

Our Lance and Lou are here for a reason... character and IQ. Zing will be one of "those guys" who players want to play with.

Our biggest needs are point guard and center right now. Robin is perfect for a b/u role and KOQ makes a great b/u for Zing. Horford and Conley will obviously be the big targets this summer, but our ability to afford them is suspect.

We are in a tough spot. If we do well, lets say make the playoffs, do we toss away everything? Galloway and Thomas will want raises. If we are lucky Afflalo will hang in for one more year so we have his early birds... We will not really have that much cap room.... Horford is "our guy" no doubt, but will be be able to make him an offer?

Calderon for Crawford and Prigs.

I don't want anybody who brings drama. The one thing this team has going for it is team chemistry
