There have been several rumors this week with the Pistons (8th pick) and Suns 13th pick willing to part with players such as Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Jennings. However, Charlie Rosen, Jackson's friend, explained in detail how he thinks the Knicks should pursue the draft and free agency.
Now I think we should all remember that for some reason this guy is on this inside with the Knicks. Combining his words and Jackson's..it's clear the Knicks are looking to add multiple big men that can be used in the triangle and on defense.

Charlie Rosen suggests the Knicks get Willey Cauley Stein in the draft, giving us a solid defensive big that can be paired with power forward Greg Monroe who lacks defensive skills to man the middle.
We should really consider this approach and we can realistically accomplish this and more.
Jackson could draft stein with the 4th pick or he could trade down, get a starter like Jennings and still have a lottery pick to draft stein..Detroits 8th pick is where stein might be had.
Or we can snag Bledsoe from the suns and use the 13th pick on a big such as Myles Turner or any other big that can play defense and knock down a mid range jumper.
We would then have quality starters and still enough cap space to sign one more good starter.
The rest of the money goes to resigning some guys from last year to fill the bench.
Then my friends, in a weak eastern conference you have a playoff team with Melo surrounded by young quality starters that can finally make use of the triangle.
Half of the guys returning will be familiar with it since they were on the team last year and familiarity in the triangle is key, just ask Shaquille O'Neal.
I believe this is the best realistic route to take in the draft. Hopefully we can dump Calderon contract but Rosen still has faith in him and Jackson might to. Especially since he wants to save face and make the Tyson trade pay off in some ways.
Is this a good idea or realistic?
Does anyone agree these things might happen?
Thoughts?
