Knicks planning on going after D-Will?

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

Now, we can really start panicking.

The Knicks are also in the market for a point guard, and according to a team official, the club may pass on signing Raymond Felton to a long-term contract because it wants the flexibility to pursue Chris Paul, Deron Williams or Tony Parker next year.

Could only pursue them in trades next year, which neither the Jazz nor NO will do since there'll be nothing either team wants from New York.

D. Will is locked up for a few more years, no?

New York cant get anyone they want. They got the worse big name FA this year in Amare, they are total failures.

I said "start panicking". Quit with the logic already.

This year and next. Then Player option

They are more likely to get Parker than either Deron or CP (unless CP wills it to happen). Parker's 2010/2011 year is the end of his contract, meaning they could sign him next offseason. Deron and CP are both on contracts through 2011/2012 year, and each have a player option for the 2012/2013 year (each at 17.7 million). If the new CBA is anything close to what everyone is hyping up, I don't see Deron walking away from 17.7 million, and the Jazz certainly aren't going to trade him.

I could see DWill going to Dallas or LA over NY

NY seeing the writing on the wall with this years FA's is in CYA mode. They've lived off the hope of "the King" for 2-3 years. This probably won't be the last time you hear this rumour, because they need to sell hope to thier fans.

Anyone else believe that the Knicks might actually be worse this season than they were last season?

Advantage Houston

They have their pick...

Think about it. The Knicks are effectively counting on Amare to replace both David Lee and Al Harrington's production AND Amare is likely going to experience the greatest downgrade in starting point guard possible.

If he gets hurt at all I think they're looking at a 20 win season. And Amare hasn't exactly been the healthiest guy in the world even with the benefit of the Suns' staff.

Think Walsh should get canned if they don't land anything more than Amare? I do. His master plan was a big clusterbleep.

I don't think so. They can't trade their pick in consecutive seasons.

Good points. NY made a ballsy move to get Amare, but then turned around and traded all star David Lee for pretty much nothing, which nearly offsets entire Amare gain. Why not just keep both? Amare is 6-10 and can play C, and David would play PF. Then you could see the team being upgraded. As it stands now, probably another lottery pick for NY. Not sure if this is the situation DWill would like.
