Overall under Woodson, nearly 18 percent of Anthony's touches are in the post, according to ESPN Stats & Information. In 32 games under D'Antoni, Anthony operated in the post 11.7 percent of the time. D'Antoni relied on Anthony to initiate the offense and play on the perimeter. Woodson's offense is heav(ier) on (feeding the player posting up), giving Anthony a chance to operate with his back to the basketLet Carmelo have the post.
Amar'e would be wise to take a page from the Book Of Karl Malone. If he can find some consistency from 18-20 feet it would be a beautiful thing.
Look for Glen Grunwald to bring in the next post prototype of Jared Jeffries (with a more reliant mid range jumper) for the frontcourt.
not as important as having a prototype 2 sharpshooter.
If Shump can do it, then he'll be Igudala.
Iggy is a hell of a player only tarnished by his crazy contract.
My Kingdom for a Four
Nalod - The Answer Man has total confidence that Iman Shumpert will have the 2 on lock by his junior year, if not earlier.
Our issue is insurance for Stoudemire's lumbar region and Jeffries apparent fragile history.

If Shump can hone his jump shot to average around 48 percent from the field he will be Jordan.
Not Jerome either.
This is why I’m penciled Kevin Garnett as our number one free agent this offseason, plus the next time Melo or Stat blow a defensive assignment Garnett will be all over them.
No To Garnett
KnicksFE - where is the money for KG coming from?
Go young

Go young
I was hoping the 5.5 million exception, obviously, that’s only if Lin resign for one more year at minimum so we can have his full Bird rights after next season and sign him for an even bigger contract.
While I truly wish to go young, I also think we need a strong character on this team, some that can keep the players on check when they relapse on effort.

Mike Woodson.
Then why NBA teams have captains and co captains on their team?
Answer
To set the standard, push and lead their teammates.
I think Jorts and Jerome Jordan well both contribute very soon. Like starting caliber....Jorts will be a poor mans Kevin love....Jordan will be Chandler....knicks will be his for years
The Answer Man Knows Amar'e and Carmelo are Captains In Name Only

Everyone knows The Captain of the Knicks is Tyson Chandler.
(cough)
Did You Say Starting Calibre?

Josh Harrellson has some herculean work ahead (on his post moves) to mentioned in the same short story as Kevin Love. His layups are blocked with regularity.
Jerome Jordan is not a four. Besides, not showing any lateral quickness, he is as raw as they come in his low post game.

You Funny!!
I think we will be signing Pierce and Allen for our bench as well. Oh, and maybe they will throw in Rondo being that we over paid for the other 3

I agree, Tyson earned with his effort and play, everybody knows every team need a voice in the lockeroom.
Can we get Channing Frye back?
The VOICE

Disagree here. "Everybody knows" that only weak coaches need a "voice" (advocate/spy) in the locker room.
Smart coaches allow every player to have a voice.

Why not, Garnett will be a free agent this summer and Boston is going into rebuilding mode with their cap space, I think he is worth a try.

We sill not be able to afford him. No way. and he ain't signing for the mid-level.

Sure everybody has a voice, but not every opinion is regarded equally, some players command more respect than others, this why Dereck Fisher and Kobe were named co captains for the Lakers under Phil Jackson and not Gasol, their second best player.
On Leadership
KnicksFE - I am struggling to get your point as it relates to the New York Knicks.
Mike Woodson don't need no steenkin' "go-between."
We have outside shots. What we need is low post drive up to the basket more. We need to foul the opponents. We got scorers, both starters and bench players. We are getting better and better at defense at #5. We need to foul, foul, foul. Back when Phil Jackson yanked Bynum out of rotation when Lakers were not doing so well, he told Bynum to attack the basket and make sure he fouls the opponents or else. They got shooters, especially with the one everyone knows, Bryant. Later on, Lakers got better as Bynum realized his job, not perimeter scorings which he did quite often, but low post offense. Well, Lakers won and look at Bynum now, banging up opponents while drawing out fouls.
We need all our big men to do that. Hell, even Lin tries to do that and constantly gets bloody nose.
