Dont be surprised if he is the Knicks third string C. From watching Knick tendencies I can tell they like their big men if they can shoot it. Kirk would cost 1/5 of what Jason Smith cost in a year where they are going to be cheap with the 11-15 guys to conserve cap space.

A limited athlete, though. Poor man's Kaman, perhaps.
Like to see what kind of shape he is in now.
Maybe we catch a break.
Also working out with Memphis' SL team.
I think Jordan Bachynski is in play for a roster spot next season.

More the merrier.
They are also looking at Vitor Faverani, I think.
Wonder if our Frenchman will be around this year.
Shotgun approach- aim and hope a few pellets hit the target.
When he coached the Bulls, he had a bunch of bigs who were not prime athletes, but they could bang the boards a bit, pass, set screens, hit a short to midrange J, and in one memorable instance, take 3 steps without a dribble and make a big shot at the basket against the Knicks.

Hurt last year, but in the pre-injury clips I watched he didn't play with the authority and size you expect from a 7 foot center.
Not counting on him doing much, but you can't get hurt giving him a look.
His dad was James Kirk? PG for StarFleet Acadamy?
