How Far can the New Look Knicks Go?
:gony:
As far as marketing the Knicks BIG-3.... billion$$$ in 3 years at just
marketing a postseason team with Amare/ Melo/ and Billups.
As for becoming a winning postseason team in the Eastern Conference,
the Dantoni brothers have to FIRED ASAP.
Let Herb Williams become interim headcoach for a season, while hiring
coach Mike Brown (exCavs coach) as his assistant headcoach.
Have our late 2010 draft pick Jerome Jordan a strong canditate in our SLG
tournament with our 2011 draft pick (hopefully a strong rebounding PF
or lights-out shooting-guard).
Plus sign one of the FA centers in the 2011 offseason to be a Starter with Amare & Melo.
