I took a lot at Q's shooting percentages over his career now that he's back in this system..
It's really, really horrendous.
Let the young guys play

Q had a career year in this system so its very possible he can flourish again under D'Atoni.

I think that season has been overrated.
He chucked 8, EIGHT three's a game.
Shot 36% from 3...decent. But at his size and strength he should live on the block against other 2's and 3's.

^I must say those are valid and fair points. I did not realize the shootig percentage was that low....I was aware of the attempts though. I would have to agreethe season is a bit overrated. However I think he wlll be more productive this season.

His 06-07 season was good (when he played)
The other 2 here were just downright awful.
I don't trust his health.

Yeah I think the key for Q really is just staying on the court.

Q staying on the court takes minutes away from Chandler and possibly Gallo though.
I personally actually respect Q. Last season he was one of the few players who showed any heart/fire. He puts forth effort on the defensive end, and can be anice rotation player. Truth is he's not that good though, and I would prefer to see the Knicks commit to the young guys. Q should still get some minutes,maybe more at SG than SF, but I'm not expecting him to have a career revival or anything.

I agree.
The problem now is I don't think he can play the 2...his feet are too slow defensively.
It's a log jam right now at the 3.
IMO, I'd rather see Gallo, Chandler and even Balkman see more time than Q.
I think we're gona see a lot of small ball this season.

whoa now.
i truly believe that this year, everyone is gonna hustle.
and since he's the least skilled player on the team (maybe ahead of jared jeffries but jerome james showed in the past he knows how to put the ball inthe hole (not saying he's worth two nickels but w/e)), his value to the team is gonna diminish
if we're gonna run small ball, the forward spot isfull, with zach, lee, will, 'nilo, (in that order) ahead of him, and then jeffries is still there, even though he'll probably end up inactive for mostgames (wishful thinking)
q is MUCH more valuable than balkman at this juncture, i'm sure they can find somebody for him to guard whenever he's on the floor

Q on the Clippers > ALL

He's 29 and will only be here for 2 more years.
I'd prefer to see if Balkman can become a rotation player.

any update on that balkman injury hope its not serious.

but since we have 16 contracts, and you start talking about who's expendable, and obviously options would be limited in moving either JJ, balkman may bethe top name on that list
if you have a team where everybody is playing hard, then he can contribute absolutely nothing (at this point in his career to this team) to the knicks
q can shoot, and it is HIGHLY unlikely that balkman will develop a mid range, let a lone a three point game

To me though...he's done little here to make me think he can shoot the ball.
He's valuable in other ways...and those ways he has chosen to go away from

i can guarantee that he'll be more effective this year than balkman will be though
david lee is just a bigger, better version of balkman
only problem is, neither one can shoot
so if we're gonna stick with lee, it makes absolutely no sense to retain balkman

after reading this i'm glad we passed on the z-bo to clippers deal....walsh is a smart man
"To those who criticized the Knicks for not dealing Zach Randolph to the Clippers for essentially nothing _ according to Ian Thomsen of SI.com, theClippers didn't want nothing.
Instead, Thomsen reports, the Clippers wanted a future first-round draft pick (remember, the Knicks owe Utah a No. 1 in one of the next two years via along-winding road involving the Stephon Marbury deal), plus $3 million and wanted the Knicks to take Brandon Knight off their hands."
Not even IT would have done a deal that stupid

Either LAC's front office didn't get the memo that Isiah is no longer running things, or, that report is fake.
I mean, that's too stupid to be real.
We'll take Randolph off your hands, but you gotta give us a future first rounder, take Knight off our hands AND give us $3M.
The hell?

^^I honestly think Isiah would've pulled the trigger if he had that chance to get rid of Z-Bo.
