This is where we'll follow our knicks and discuss our knicks..
Knicks have added Marcus Camby, Jason Kidd, Pablo Prigioni, Ronnie Brewer, Raymond Felton to the team.. This team better make a push to be a top 3seed in the east, as they seem to be loaded..
Early in the pre-season, they look great.. Novak has looked good, as has Melo and Ty Chandler... Kidd is getting acclimated with the new roster, and Felton has been impressive finding the new teammates, and old ones(from when he was here before)
Chris Copeland looks to be the possible find from the undrafted ranks..

I have high hopes this season. The bad thing is those hopes will probably get crushed.

Stoudemire looked good vs toronto, except for the foul problems.

ok, can you more knowledgeable NBA fans tell me why signing a nursing home crew of old players is gonna make us that much better than last year
Camby, Thomas, Kidd, Wallace
they make me think of Jello and Bingo
man, Thomas played with Ewing and not just for 1 or 2 seasons, several seasons !! ... he's almost as old as me ! -
10-23-2012, 02:48 AMnycsportzfanYa, but u forgot to mention Raymond Felton is our starter with Kidd as his backup... Thats a sweet 1/2 punch at the PG positon, with longtime international player Prigioni as our 3rd PG.. Pretty much all pass 1st pg's..Quote:

Also we added Ronnie Brewer for defense on the outside, and Kurt Thomas can still rebound and hit the mid range jumper..
JR Smith being here for a full season is only gonna help as well..
I love the look of this team.. That Copeland kid went off for 34points the other day.. His 2nd monster game in the pre-season.. He was hitting 3's... -
10-23-2012, 08:43 AMRedeyejediThe Shumpert injury was really upsetting. The Knicks looked like they had something with him. Looked to be a more athletic Bruce Bowen type that could defend 1-3. He was the Knicks best defender now who knows if he ever can effectively guard PG's ever again. If he cant progress this team cant beat MiamiQuote:

Having him to back up Chandler is huge for the Knicks defense.Kidd is probably an overrated signing from the terms of name to production . Probably wouldnt of come here if he knew Lin wasnt being resigned.Still the money isnt bad.Thomas we got stuck with in thwe Felton trade that we got screwed over on. Wallace might not make the teamQuote:
