Jr Smith can hold it down...James White can play as well but he'd have to reall.y come on strong in vets camp. Kidd could start at the two but do we burn him out or will he be fine? Pablo could get his minutes too a the point of the bench......
Or can we get a guy cheap...cory brewer?
I want to know who are starting PG is.
Felton and Hill might not last 10 games before they injure themselves, one because of weight, the other because of age.

Felton has actually been pretty durable throughout his career. Oh, I forgot, he is fat. Cue to yet another fat joke. Haha.
But really, I think we will be fine at PG with Felton starting, Kidd backing him up and Pablo as an emergency.
I do believe we need to sign a shooting guard soon. Don't think White is the answer there.
This is a tough one. This summer, NY has unloaded all its youth and promise except for Iman Shumpert. That was only because Nash turned NY down and went to LA.
Going forward, as I will, because I am Knick fan since the 1973 championship, here is what I am seeing.
A team that is built around a very good player in Carmelo but who has a questionable work ethic and attitude. This keeps him from being ELITE so far.
A team with a PF that has many injuries to get over just to perform. When healthy he is a force but does not defend.
A team with a C what can defend and lead but no offensive game other than dunks and putbacks.
A team with a 40 year old PG, who was once the best in the game but who most likely will not play 82 games and will be a question mark all season.
A team without a real SG. JR is a malcontent who throws up shots and thinks it is his job to take shots before Carmelo and STAT.
A team with a PG who is overweight and also has a questionable work ethic. WHen in shape and motivated Felton is a decent player but has no special quality to his game.
A team with an injured young SG. The most exciting player on the team with what he can be. Unfortunately, with his injury when he comes back he may find it tough to break into a veteran laden team that will limit his growth offensively. A player who will be traded at some point.
A team with a bench full of older Veterans who may have one year left and may not. Who knows.
A team that is now old and stripped of 2nd round picks and only a couple of first round picks for the next 4 years.
A team that is over the cap and cannot make moves freely.
A team that is owned by an emotional owner.
A team that is coached by an average coach, who has not won much at all and coaches a real boring system of ISOLATION.
A team that is not good enough to win a Championship.
SG is a hole. They need to get someone else there ASAP. As of now, JR will start at shooting guard and he will be a disaster. He will move back to the bench. They will struggle to find someone else until Shumpert gets back. Kidd will be overused and eventually break down. Going into the playoffs, Felton will be the starting PG. Prigioni will be playing big minutes. Shumpert will be working his way back but not there at all this season. The backcourt is not good and lacks depth.
The front court, if healthy, can be very good again. Hopefully, Camby and KT can play a bit and bring some more D to the 2nd unit. I am concerned about Novak getting open looks when Kidd is not on the floor.
You are, Eny..........................

Can we get Delonte West cheap? My only issue with him is....he's crazy. We already have JR in the locker room. I'd worried about ruining chemistry.

me? Hell no... after Panos edged me out of that drunken sprint down 33rd street I ate some beans and walked off into the sunset. The proverbial sunset. The actual sunset would have disintegrated me in a ball of fire.

what bs is this. Felton does not have a history of injury problems and last season was the only one where he was truly overweight. Dude was more than capable of running his ass off for D'Antoni but, now his fat and an injury liability,...you don't know what your talking about
what's up y'all? anything new :)
starting sg? either the guy that beats women at home and drives drunk or the other guy that beats women in clubs...take your pick. either way, you got a role model for everyone's kids to cheer for...
let's go raptors!!!

its jealousy. DJ has always wanted to beat on women but everytime he tries he gets his ass kicked. DurzoBlint nailed it
who knows.. why not finish the butcher job and trade shumpert for michael redd.. that would complete the masacre of this team...

we need Rip Hamilton. Good veteran. Woody loves vets. How about Shump for Rip?
Might as well play Novak at starting SG. At least he can hit the three.
We needed to grab stack but BKN stole one of our tombstones...
