Crush posted this in the game thread but I figured its big enough news to warrant its own thread
Alan Hahn @alanhahn
Rasheed Wallace and Marcus Camby both on practice court with #Knicks. First time team has had all 15 players together on court this season.
There we go...problems solved! Had a feeling we'd finally see this team at 100% after the all star break
Tyson/Camby
Amare/Sheed
Melo/Novak
Shump/Smith
Felton/Prigioni/Kidd
Rest Kidd til playoffs incase you need to break glass incase of emergency and hit some spot up 3's on fresh legs. Amare can do the breaking glass part...
Neither did any contact. Just running and shooting. I think best case scenario they come back some time next week.
yea they will need to get a few practices in. Running is a good thing considering they were out with decayed feet

Then you have to factor in when does Woody play these guys? Sheed may get some time but it just clogs up things elsewhere with pt and rotations. Our teams is somewhat imbalanced with looked at objectively

Stop starting Melo at the 4, start Sheed or Kurt (don't know why Kurt isn't starting there).
Sheed hangs by 3pt line. Spaces the floor. Camby backs up Tyson with no drop off defensively and doesn't disrupt the offense
I still don't understand why everyone thinks Sheed changes things so much. Offensively he wasn't doing much. On D he's more of a coach than anything. I think it;s a mistake not to pick up a big.

Sheed/Amar'e/Melo play the 4 if you move Melo to the 3(his natural although he plays well as a 4) then Novak/Shumpert become less relevant and Copeland will never see the light of day....
So ultimately these guys would prove to be less valued if you move players back to their natural
Kurt
Prigs
Cope
Brewer
Shumpert
Novak
Our rotation would be...
Felton/Kidd
Smith/Kidd/Shump(limited minutes)
Melo/(Novak(limited minutes)
Melo/Stat/Sheed
Tyson/Sheed/Camby
Did someone just mention Cope? He dribbles like James White at a Dunk contest. Let him wait.

Sheed does what our other bigs can't do, his versatility offensively and defensively is needed badly for the knicks to play guys in their normal position.

Kmart, Amundson or someone who falls through the cracks after Thursday.
By the way Woodson just said on ESPN radio. No trades for what its worth

Translation....more chances for teams to get better than us
Woodson isn't the GM. When Grunwald says no trades I'll believe it.
Sheed will back in the DL after 9 games....
Camby in 4

very plausible
My hope for the playoffs is that Camby + Sheed = 25 mins a night.
I think if we can play Tyson 30 mins per night, Amar'e 25, Camby/Sheed/KT 25 and Melo alternates in a percentage of his minutes at PF, but still plays 2/3 of his time at SF, we really have a nice rotation and some mismatches to exploit. Melo playing all of his time at PF creates some mismatches on offense, but we do sometimes get destroyed on the boards and have some defensive issues with that lineup.
i wonder how many games Camby will last when he returns. I'll be generous and give him 5. I wish Camby can stay healthy but it seems liek everytime this guy puts on a Knicks jersey he misses 75% of games
They should sign Kmart. Camby and Wallace should alternate games played for 12 minutes a night.
Im actually wondering how this rotations gonna work. Sheeds only playing about 10 min right?
I like that idea anji but word is kmart wont come as long as sheed is here
