Ha- Heat doctors exaggerating there with the 70yr old knees comment- they've never seen Amar'es MRIs or x rays so why even bother asking them for an opinion. Wish the Knicks would hurry up and tell us what's happening, surely the rabid speculation is worse than being up front about it.
The more I think about this, I think Copeland will be the starting PF. Need a rebounder and they will ask Copeland to fill this role.
Exactly

When in doubt, go with the yoot who can absorb extended minutes and play tough defense. Reward Cope for fighting his way to the NBA and he will repay us with effort.
Bring Kurt and Sheed as Replacements when needed, selectively.
If we could start Landry Fields, we can start Cope.
Maybe Felton can replace Amar'es scoring- he was pretty good at it his first season with us. Should we buyout White and sign a PF, or a SF like josh Howard? Is there any player who got cut yesterday worth signing? Or do we roll with what we've got?
An injury to Melo and we're screwed...

The guy to get might have been Curry. I know Q Rich was realesed but I don't know how much he has left.

Kurts on a 1 yr deal, Sheed is on a non guaranteed contract. The only guy they sought out was Camby and the third year of his deal the Knicks can get out of. I think Sheed, Camby and Thomas help a lot more then Shurna or Sims would have.
Not talking about future. Talking about now. Doesn't matter if KT is in 1 year deal or Sheed on a non-guaranteed contract. They are what we have now. The smarter play would have been to get 1 or maybe 2 veterans. We needed 1 more young C/PF prospect. Jorts would really look good right now. Even Jerome Jordan would look good right now.
I think one or both Jorts and Jordan would have been resigned when they were waived if the new cba allowed it to happen.
That is the thing, that is poor management. Letting Dolan dictate what you do as a team really messes up everything.
I think Grunwald set up Jorts and Jordan's contracts so that he could trade them. Grunwald wanted Camby.
For the first few games I think Woody starts a veteran at the 4. Either Kurt Thomas or Sheed. Copeland will come in, in the middle of the first period and play extended minutes with both the first and second units. He is still a rookie and needs to earn his time and get some experience under his belt.
I agree with pastor earl, start Copeland aka minMelo.
He brings good things to the offense and will be solid everywhere else except rebounding.
One thing about Copeland in the pre season is that he moved great without the ball. He had some of Amare's good traits. Wouldn't mind giving him a look in extended minutes with the starters.
Felton
Brewer
Copeland
Melo
Chandler
YES, In de face!

Smack Double D is dead on. part of the responsibility falls on Felton to be more decisive with scoring opportunities. If Copeland can bring some intensity to his work on the boards, he will be a plus where Amar'e was faltering.
Start Cope.

Like the lineup but Cope works sooooo well with Prig and Da Kidd and can be an offensive focal point for 2nd team. He may get consumed going against 1st teamers.
Kurt will start copeland will wreak havoc in the second unit with prigs kidd and jr. Only way the season can be saved is if cope emerges to linsanity levels
