Knicks · Should the Knicks sign Greg oden for the rest of the year (page 1)

If healthy he would be a beast on defense in the second unit.

Is he healthy enough to play? I heard he was signing with Miami next year.

didnt he say he wouldnt play till next year?

I like the idea of Delonte West. Neither guy can playo on the playoff roster.

I'd rather ask Ewing to put his jersey back on! I'd be willing to bet Patrick would beat Kurt in a game of one-on-one right now.

Why not?

Not till next year? Darn

Sign anyone! We are running out of players.

Next offseason priority #1: new medical staff

Priority #1: Don't sign any old players

Age is not the problem. Talent is. Amare melo and tyson are all young and injured

Age is definitely the problem. Sure our stars are not ancient, but they are not young (NBA standard) and need relief with young bench players. Need some young blood to do uptempo stuff while they rest.. well, guess what, we only have Imam that's younger than 27. Age slows you down, period. It's just physics. So our stars get overworked, our bench players overworked, not able to do defense, loses spirits. Just watch the past few games already you can tell. It's draining them.

The average player statistically peaks at 24 and has a sharp decline in the late 20s. And that's referring to players with much less mileage than our "big 3." Age definitely is the problem. If you want to build a team right, you start out by either stock piling very good, tradeable young players like Denver or getting a superstar who truly is young like Harden.

Ok then how do you explain miami, dallas, lakers & spurs winning the last few championships? Please enlighten me on their under 24 stars?

Age is not the problem. The core and the cap is the problem. When will the Knicks learn to develop their own stars and not overpay for other teams castoffs?

Tell Jimmy Dol that. Apparently he's been practicing overpaying for other teams castoffs since he took over 12 years ago.

id sign oden in a heartbeat. it's the definition of low-risk/high-reward. maybe he bombs or maybe he plays out of his mind. worth a shot though.
