u are right .. The Knicks dont need a Big man!
The Knicks NEED a hard nose head coach (Mark Jackson) that will not SELL-OUT games!
The Knicks NEVER used Rolo/Quinn/Seraphin/and KP in a game rotation as the team 4 bigs .. NEVER giving each of the 4 big men 20 plus minutes in the rotation in any of the 68 game we played so far, where our 4 bigs had the chance to gell as bigs in the post.
This had nothing to do with the head-coach .. this act came from the upstair office BC Melo n KP want all the minutes at the 4 spot where opponents has been taking advantage of two WEAK PF

Next season, keep waiting
I think a case can be made to bring in Howard. Granted I know the entire state of NY is against me on this. Robin Lopez is good but inconsistent. I like him, but who knows which Lopez is going to show up. He can get you 20 and 10 or 8 and 7. I'm fine with waiting to see what he can do, but a sign in trade of some sort of him and take your pick for Howard could be interesting. Keep in mind that Howard has played injured for a while. Still our top priority IMO should be getting a 2 guard. I think historically the better teams have had PGs that distribute the ball. I still don't look for a PG to put up 25 points.
A lot of people including myself want DeRozan but he's playing for a winning team that can pay him more money than anyone. They love DeRozan in Toronto, both the fans and the Raps mgt. and he loves Toronto. I don't see him coming to the Knicks or going anywhere else for that matter.

I don't see any 1st tier FA point guard coming here... if said guard is interested in $$$, they will resign with their present team who as said can pay the most.. if that same FA is interested in getting a ring, he ain't coming here...
an example of a FA wanting a ring is david west who left lots of $$$ on the table to sign with the spurs ..
on the other hand a FA who signed just for the $$$$ is our own Me-Lo... my hope is that he never see's a ring...

Sure would like to see him play this season.
KD can't win with westbrook... maybe he comes to play with wroten...ha... where do we play horford.... as to rondo.. why not bring in agent zero (gilbert areanas)... he's less of a head case..
lol
This wreaks of desperation...now this makes player and coach possibly campaigning for a guy who's not too keen on this system. But wouldn't draft players who felt they could fit in this system and wanted to play here because we didn't like their fit. No matter which direction you turn, no one will ever be capable of making sense of this organization.

Rajon Rondo? Funny you should mention him. You know who had a relationship with Rajon Rondo? Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau spent 3 seasons in Boston with Rondo as an assistant coach to Doc Rivers and one of those seasons, that team won a championship.
Rumors say that part of why Fisher had to go was that he was badmouthing Rondo, whereas Rambis, who wants to be our head coach next year, is helping his case by talking up Rondo who is clearly an offseason target of PJ.
If you're real serious about having any shot at all at Rondo, and any shot at being a 0.500 team or better next season, why not just hire Tom Thibodeau? Stop me if this line of thinking sounds familiar.

Good Howard Beck piece.
The draft opened with NBA Commissioner David Stern announcing the Cavaliers' selection of James, as expected.
"You up next," James told Anthony.
"And then Detroit passed," Anthony recalled, chuckling.
The Pistons had instead?infamously?zeroed in on Darko Milicic, a skilled 7-foot Serbian who had the entire NBA intrigued.
Anthony fell to third, to Denver, leaving a 1,300-mile gap between the new best friends and ensuring they would only face off twice a year, putting a small crimp in the rivalry.
"It would have been at a whole other level," James said.
Of the many what-ifs of Anthony's career, this ranks at the top.
Milicic went down as one of the all-time busts. But the Pistons became a powerhouse, winning the championship in 2004 and nearly repeating in 2005. They made three more conference finals?in 2006, 2007 and 2008. They also became James' first great playoff antagonist.
What if Anthony had slid into that lineup, with Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton behind him and the Wallaces, Ben and Rasheed, protecting his flank?
What if Anthony?who was later mentored by Billups in Denver and Rasheed Wallace in New York?had the benefit of their veteran wisdom from day one? As teammates over the years will attest, Anthony has always been at his best when paired with a strong point guard and seasoned veterans.
"That's why I was a little bit disappointed," Anthony said, "because I really wanted to go to Detroit. You had Chauncey, you had all those guys over there...Detroit, they had something going over there."
And then there's this: What if those epic playoff clashes between the Pistons and Cavaliers, in 2006 and 2007, had featured Carmelo vs. LeBron? How incredible would that rivalry have become? Bird vs. Magic level?

(If DET takes Melo, Anthony had at least 3 rings... And what would've happened from there)...
