Would be nice to have a player down low that does all of the above. To that end I would welcome Mr. Love in NYC playing for our knicks. I saw only one game of his last season, but he was pretty dominant, and some of the others here have raved about him, so maybe we trade down to shed some salary and pick him up. ...So who is working the phones to discuss these possibilities? I wonder why MSG seems to be sleeping on getting a GM? Does Grunwald already have the job? Or someone else we know?

If he really works as hard as Chad Ford writes, he already out works anyone our current roster. I must admit I drunk the media cool-aid on the kid, even though every time I saw the him he seemed like a quiet, unassuming, well-mannered dude who was poised beyond his years. I'm sure I'm not the only one who drew conclusions based on the negative media hype he recieved. Shoot, I'd say grab him if he's around at six. If he's not available, we need to take a SERIOUS look at Joe Alexander from West Virginia....that kid is special. @ O & B,

In addition to that assessment, I think a combination of the incoming regime needing a low post threat like curry plus the need for a legitimate shot blocker, rebounder who can play w/o the ball will make the Knick brain trust think long and hard about drafting DeAndre Jordan. His speed and athleticsm fits D'antoni's system but the snafu (sticking point) might be that he lacks an outside shot. Also note that if the Knicks can work a back door deal to land Baron Davis that trade would resolve the point gaurd issue (Perhaps again Davis, and one of their smaller expiring contracts for Marbury, who will be motivated to play well this year b/c it's his contract year).
