Knicks looking for guard depth

If a Knicks roster spot opens up this week with either Cuttino Mobley's retirement or the release of Stephon Marbury, president Donnie Walsh said the Knicks have two trade exceptions to use to obtain a shooting guard through a deal.

The Knicks can trade the exception to another team for a player making the salary of what the trade exception is worth. It is believed the exception is in the $1 million range, which means the player would have to be making in the minimum-wage vicinity.

Nevertheless, it gives the Knicks more options than signing a D-League shooting guard. On Dec. 15, teams can trade the rookie contracts of the players they drafted last summer. If a team is looking to shed one of its second-round picks or late first rounders, the Knicks would be in position to get that player. Walsh said the club has been reviewing the rosters of teams.

The Knicks gained one exception from the Renaldo Balkman trade over the summer and gained a second exception in the Mobley/Tim Thomas deal in which the Knicks gave up Mardy Collins and Zach Randolph.

so it's pretty certain to say Houston isn't coming back then.

Yeah, Houston aint happening. There is talk of signing Sergio Rodriguez and Patrick Ewing Jr. I like both signings. Rodriguez would give Duhon some much needed backup/rest and is the type of PG that D'Antoni likes. I like Ewing Jr, maybe he can provide some defense and shot-blocking in the post. I would prefer Sean Williams but I could live with Ewing Jr. I just don't like signings based on nostalgia. I wonder if NJ would be willing to do a Roberson for Williams trade?

we could do a roberson for williams trade that sounds good....but when we release _____ and Mobley retires we'll have 2 open spots i want Ewing Jr back and and Quincy Douby(Brooklyn baby!) they will both do good although Rodriquez will be good cause he's more of a point gaurd but either one will be great off the bench and give Duhon some rest....and Ewing Jr will be perfect for us on the defensive end and plays hustle ball whenever he's on the floor

Fred Jones to the rescue!

D.Nichols is still out there lets get him on the roster, I want my rep points Kiya!

no really we should give him a 10 day to see how he fits with the team, I cant imagine Anthony Robertson being that much better than him.


What about my man Fred Jones!

I think Fred Jones would do real good in this offense, and it's not like it would take him all that long to learn his new teamates! And ofcourse Donnie Walsh knows him, I think that is the most logical choice really!

Hey Metro insert a poll into this Thread to vote on who we should use to fill the void

is it possible to trade with that Italian team to get Rubio?? Because MLB can do it. Darrel Rasner got traded to Japan team (mad about it) for almost nothing

Rookie
Sergio Rodriguez is my favourite, he could be a great fit in D'Antoni system like a poor version of Jason Williams. He is still young and can be to improve their skills with a great coach like Mike.

Well, the Knicks do have Starbury. How about letting him get some playing time? :pimp:

No. Both sides have made it abundantly clear this is not an option. Get the Stephon talk outta here.

As a Marbury supporter i think i'd play down the fact he won a bronze medal. That team was one of the greatest failures in US sports history. Lebron, Melo, Wade, and Bosh all got the opportunity to redeem themselves. And that team is the only black eye on the great career of Tim Duncan.

Can Mobley make up his mind already?? I don't understand why he needs more doctor's opinions. He knows he has a bad heart, he's known that his entire career. He's mulling over retirement, meanwhile the Knicks are playing only 7 players and desperately need some help/relief.

And can we just buy out Mebury already? This is getting tiresome. Just give him his $22 mil. The greedy little prick isn't going to take anything less (as if he hasn't made enough money already). We need to fill his empty roster spot.

With the 2 open spots (hopefully soon), sign Sergio Rodriguez and Ewing Jr. Then trade Roberson to NJ for Sean Williams.

PG-Duhon
SG-Chandler
SF-Harrington
PF-Lee
C-Williams

w/ Nate, Rodriguez, Q Rich, Tim Thomas and Jeffires off the bench. That's not that bad, and could potentially make the playoffs this year.

Wait...Why should we pay Steph 22million? Hasn't he already been paid part of his contract so far for this year? So it should be less, right?

Fred Jones for Prez

I'd like to take this opportunity to break up another Marbaury fight to say this.....bring back Fred Jones!

Where the hell is Steve Francis, I know he is with Houston but is there a reason he isnt playing? Why not give him a shot for one year at the vet minimum?

I'd like to see the Knicks go for Bibby, I've always liked his game. Aren't the Hawks looking to get rid of his contract? Not sure on that one, but he's a great balance of distribution and scoring which would fit D'Antoni's system like a glove.
