Def get Duhon some help. He really did an excellent job for the team, but he was asked to do too much, at least too soon.

And with all this uncertainty about Lee's future, I think it only right to purchase an authentic of my favorite Knick since ol' "I can't feedmy family" Sprewell. How much do they go for? NBA store, right?

 

[airalphabet]

On a side note, can anybody help me with this team signature thing?

I like to have the team new york knicks sig like Woodside 718 or nycknicks105.

A team yankees one would be nice also.

Since alot of teams are signing players to long term contracts this year, does he mean hardly any team will be able to sign some FAs next year?

nah, not at all. There are loads of teams with money to play with, contracts coming off the books, etc. However, decisons made today willundoubtedly affect what they will be able to do later.

According to Richard Jefferson, Jason Kidd will be a NY Knick http://blogs.nypost.com/sports/backpage/archives/2009/07/knicks_nets_fre.html

not happening

 

[fede dpt]

The only way I want Kidd on the team is if Walsh gets rid of Curry, Jeffries or both. Other than that this signing is pointless.

 

[al3xis]

it's simple to me..

That quote by Walsh is VERY telling, and if we sign Kidd..

it means 2 things.

- He knows he can deal Curry.

- Kidd/Walsh both are VERY confident in making a huge splash in FA next season.

I want Jason Kidd running this offense, he'd be fantastic. If Curry's in any kind of shape, Kidd would make him look tradeable in a month, gurantee it.

Well as much as I like kidd...looks like nash always wants to be a knick if the suns don't reach an agreement

Globe And Mail - 07/03 - 7:35 AM EST (AP Photo)

Steve Nash remains confident that he'll sign a contract extension with the Suns at some point this summer.
However, Nash added that he'd love to play for the Knicks if an agreement isn't reached with the Suns.
"I would preface it by saying that I love Phoenix and that's what I'm focusing on right now," Nash told the Globe and Mail. "But I livein New York City, and I love it there, and [Knicks head coach] Mike D'Antoni was one of my favorite coaches. If it didn't work out in Phoenix,obviously that would be a place I'd consider."
The Knicks have been linked to Jason Kidd on the free agent market, and are known to be looking for an experienced point guard.

From realgm.com

PS- nash loves to play for D.Antoni...so it most likely will happen.

We don't need old PG's who can't guard opposing PG's.

[h1]5 QUESTIONS FOR... JEFF VAN GUNDY[/h1]FORMER Knicks coach and ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy told The Post's Justin Terranova that his biggest concern isthat Knicks fans are beaten down after too many years of losing.


Q: Did the Knicks make the correct choice selecting Jordan Hill in the draft?

A: I can understand the fans' disappointment with not getting Stephen Curry because he was the name guy, but at this point, it'simportant for the Knicks to get a good fit for the team. And Hill's someone that runs hard, which will fit in.

Q: Having once coached here, are you surprised the patience Knicks fans have given this new regime?

A: Some of that is diminished expectations and with those, you aren't going to have the same passion. In some ways, you don't wantthe patience to transform itself into apathy. I think that's why it's so important for the Knicks to keep improving. That will keep the fan baseenergized and make it more enticing for those free agents in 2010 to sign with them.

Q: Are you surprised the Knicks are pursuing Jason Kidd?

A: He is a good player. I thought Chris Duhon did an excellent job for them last year. He had some up-and-down games, but they reallydidn't have a backup point guard they could rely on. It's an interesting play by the Knicks, but not one I expect to happen. If they don't get himit will be because they couldn't match the years Kidd might want. I am not sure if the Knicks would want to cut into the cap space past this one year.

Q: Did the Nets make the right move by dealing away Vince Carter to the Magic?

A: Just how it's important for the Knicks fans to trust Donnie Walsh, the Nets have to do the same with Rod Thorn. He took over afranchise that was just as good as the Clippers and have made them into contenders. Now they are in the rebuilding phase. And if Yi [Jianlian] and Courtney Leeturn out to be the players they hope they can be, then they will be right back there. I think it's a great deal that should work out for both teams.

Q: Your broadcast partner Mark Jackson was linked to the Timberwolves job. Do you think he's ready to be a head coach?

A: He has every component you would need to be an outstanding head coach. He is a tremendous communicator, he has a good X's andO's background playing for some of the greatest coaches in the sport. To me, if you are doing a coaching draft, he would be a can't miss.

^i dont know if thats a joke, but i still have faith him...

 

[thestephzone]

I rather have Ramon Sessions then JKidd at this point.

 

[woodside718]

That Donnie quote probably means he has a few tricks up his sleeve. He probably has a deal involving Curry or Jeffries already, why else would Kidd say givehim a few weeks to decide where he wants to play? Donnie probably told him let me ship these bad contracts out first so Kidd can evaluate the new roster

......

Donnie's GM experience is to beast, nothing gets by him and he goes through ALL possibilities before making a decision and he is also very patient. Donnie

Exactly. Basically, Donnie will make a move this year that will benefit the knicks more next year. IMO that's signing kidd, which i dont mind at all aslong as jeffries or curry are gone.

 

[tommykairaa]

I wonder if curry is actually working on his game this summer.
