They need to play defense???? Really???? Gee, so does about 75% of the NBA!!! I don't know if Carter will help,but i know Artest or Rashard Lewis's offensive skill sets and versatility would allow Isiah to use more of his bench! The fact that Artest can shoot 3's and play in the low post and his defense would make us better immediately! Lewis's 3pt shot,his low post game and his quickness even at 6"10" would allow him to play SG,SF and PF in a small ball lineup!!The Knicks have enough offense, they need to play defense. When was the last time VC ever played defense, great offensive player but for $15M give me a guy that plays at both ends.
Very good point. Most good teams in th Nba don't play defense and the Knicks don't really need a defensive stopper (Artest) they just need a shot blocker, they need 2 play better team defense and they need a 3pt. shooter. Now hopefully they've found their shot blocker (Randolph Morris). Now the other 2 are a problem. IMO in order 2 play better defense we're gonna need a new coach and hopefully there will be a good shooter in the draft.They need to play defense???? Really???? Gee, so does about 75% of the NBA!!!

wow, if we can get marcus williams and carter in a trade... well that changes everything. That would be the absolute best thign that can happen this offseason. wow. carter and williams.
Agreed, Williams would be a steal, along with Carter, who's misunderstood alot of the times. Carter is an upgrade over Crawford, an upgrade is always good.
dude is that "Da Gooo"??? from that Nickelodeon show????? HAHAHAHAHA
me and my lil are like only people on earth that still make fun of his infamous rap segment.

I Completely agree, if ur gonna go after Carter then u might as well try 2 get Ray Allen. Ray Allen would fit right in and our chemistry would drastically improve. Ray Allen is a PERFECT FIT in the Knicks offense, Carter is not. If Isaiah has even a slight chance of getting Allen HE'D BETTER DO WHAT HE CAN 2 GET HIM. Or draft a shooter.Getting Vince Carter at this point in his career, I'd rather have Jesus Shuttlesworth....Ray Allen...Least he has a multi year contract already signed with Seattle...wouldn't have to worry about him going anywhere for atleast another 4 years...since I doubt he'll do the 6....
As far as trading Channing I mean all the potential is there to be a Chris Bosh type player but at times his confidence seems to be lacking...
Nate Robinson still a long ways off...so far to me he still just seems like a note worthy player...not quite that good..he has some skills..but I think I would trade him before I move Lee whom I think is untouchable at this point...
I said this around the trade deadline, guess I'll repeat myself....
Vince Carter is a streaky shooter, he plays little or no defense, and most importantly only plays hard when he feels like it! This guy would be toxic for our locker room, and set a horrible example for our young players. If we are going to trade Frye (and at this point I think we have to), I would prefer we package him w/ Francis & get a guy like Caron Butler or Jermaine O'neal.....
