Kidd Karma
Benchwarmer
An athletic 2 guard is the major need at this point...CJ Miles? Anything interesting on the Raptors roster we can raid in sign and trade for Landry?
Give K-Mart the Bae
and sign Iverson for Vet min
we would have the 06 nuggets:smokin:
Iverson
Jr smith
Melo
K-mart
Camby
Damn well that sucks, oh well at least we still have gadz contract to S&T which is about a little under 2mill... could be a extra asset mini Bae we can still useon a serious note I asked Jared Zwirling on twitter if the Knicks still had teh BAE and he said no.

Besides being an older Celtic style team, we have a chance to be more complete then the last two years. Durability is still our Achilles heel... Everyone needs to stay healthy at least going into the playoffs, where we could make a run at a Championship...
Dude Jeremy Lin is starting over Jason Kidd:mrgreen:

Dude Jeremy Lin is starting over Jason Kidd
And Mike Woodson confirmed it today...Nate Taylor: Mike Woodson said Jeremy Lin will be the starter when the team matches Houston's offer. Twitter
Why would we pay 5 mil a year for someone that is backup to a 3 mil a year player??
Lin might be named starter but things "COULD" change by season opener. Kidd proven winner, pass first PG at this point of his career better suited for this starting lineup, but we will see. What is said now doesn't hold much water.
Lin is a future investment, Kidd is a chip to win now! Knicks would of paid more in a sign & trade but Dallas wasn't having any part of that. So for the BAE, Kidd took it. Kidd is also a proven winner. Lin right now is a hot commodity and his pay is more then his "RAW" Potential is worth. 3 years + Team option, he has room to develop or flop! Come the fourth year who knows, TEAM OPTION = YES/NO

While Woodson said Lin wears the starter jersey when training camp opens in October, Carmelo piped in it might be good for Jeremy to come off bench behind Kidd. ?If [Lin] comes off the bench, playing behind a guy like Jason Kidd, playing under a guy and learning from Kidd, he should take advantage of this opportunity ? just having JKidd on our team,?? Anthony said. No doubt Melo has ball more in his hands when Kidd is on court. But I hope that's not what he's thinking. Read more at the New York Post ?
Some of you guys will have a field day with that statement :teeth:

I actually think Lin coming off the bench is better for Lin, i think woody already said Lin will start but Lin coming off the bench gives Lin more of chance to be more aggressive and play the more attacking style he favors + it also gives our bench that extra scoring boost.Marc Berman

What Lin during Linsanity made him stand out as a legit starting PG. Kidd can not do half of what Lin did during Linsanity. The old Kidd would have started over Lin but Kidd is now 39, he is a good backup.
Lin should start he is better and getting paid more, period.
Kidd and Lin will most likely play at the same time as well now that we have Priogioni as a 3rd PG.
Your backward thinking is what is off... Jeremy Lin is an up tempo point guard like Steve Nash but no where refined... Jason Kidd & Pablo Prigioni at this point in their careers are no better then a "PASS FIRST POINT GUARD", and for our starting lineup with Melo, Smith, & Stat that are scorers they need a pass first point guard rather than an up tempo pg who causes many turnovers.
Lin coming off the bench gives two things:
Up tempo energy & from what we have on the bench would be the scorer
Jeremy Lin needs to improve his ball handling, recognition of what he is seeing, understanding he is the couch on the court, on the ball defense as well could improve...
Lin could become a spark off the bench, but Knicks and Melo want to win now, to do that you want a Veteran Point Guard to guide these 3 scorers is the best way to get it done. Is Kidd the best option, yes he just won a Championship two years ago from doing what he will do for us be pass first point guard.
Lin is our future, not our now. But you see the $ dollar signs on why he should start you are as foolish as those comments that were made by the coaching staff. He will be a part of the team, and learn from experienced players in his position while training and proving he is ready to take those reigns.
LinSanity was a fad, something made to sell Merchandise. 25 games NOT the full season... LinSation was all good points but we saw the negative ones because we are the true fans... Jeremy Lin won a few games but because of his turnovers we lost just as many... Lin is getting paid because of his hot commodity right now, is it justified ~ NO!
Everyone is looking at the marketability of the New York Hype surrounding this kid, unfortunately he is still 50/50 on what type of player he could be! We hope he will be that guy, but from a skill set Jeremy Lin has "RAW POTENTIAL"!
Get your facts straight!
