Kidd verbally commits to Dallas, Rasheed to Boston

Scratch Jason Kidd off the list.  Also, although we were never considering Rasheed Wallace, his recent comittment to Boston does effect our free-agent signing abilities, becasue Hill was interested in becoming a Celtic and now must look elsewhere.

Who does that leave for the Knicks to go after?  Well, Grant Hill is in the house today to speak with Donnie Walsh and Mike D’Antoni.   Some are thinking if the Knicks landed Hill (Boston can’t now, since they’ve got ‘Sheed) that Wilson Chandler would be shopped heavily.  Considering that LeBron is a small forward, if the Knicks decided to deal Chandler, I’d consider that an indication the Knicks still feel they can land LeBron.  Obviously Chandler was shopped during the draft to no avail, so Walsh may not view him as a building block in the New MSG.

What are the Knicks going to do about their point guard issue?  Duhon is a great backup, but fell apart as a 40+ minute starter.  Nate’s assist numbers were up (all of his numbers were up under Mike D) but he’s just not a point.  Walsh needs to do something in the back court.

Just thinking about what we’ve done so far.  We didn’t add much, but we got rid of Q, that’s good.  If Darko got one block a game he’d be a statistical defensive improvement upon our last two centers (Lee, Curry).
