JYD Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Oh, god, Jared Jeffries? I thought we were over this clown Shawne Williams should've been brought back. I like him. Why don't they just release Balkman so we have a roster spot available to someone who may contribute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Shawne can still return, just depends on what the market is for him. Knicks want him, he wants the Knicks, but someone may offer him multiple years, which he'd have to be dumb to turn down. We'd probably max out at 1 year.

NomarFachix Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Iman Shumpert:Knicks fans just have been wanting to see basketball. They demand a lot. I may tweet, “I’m with my mom,” or something like that, and Knicks fans will respond: “You should be shooting a thousand shots.” It's so true, I remember Jordan Hill would tweet 5x a day about getting his dreads done and people were just killing him about not working hard enough.

As for Jeffries he's a good contributor off the bench at least due to his defensive versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Cmon, Jeffries is wack. He's not a great defender, he takes an occasional charge. He can't rebound. And may be the worst offensive player in the history of the league (Balkman contends well with him though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 He defends decently, can defend 1-5, and plays with a high motor. Reason enough for 20 minutes a night and great use of a small, 1 year contract. Knows the system, which is a plus in a lockout season. Good locker room guy, too, by all accounts. Not flashy and shouldn't have the ball in the last 5 seconds of a playoff game, that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Tell me a PG or SG he could guard effectively and I'll tell you about an awful player who should not be an NBA player!! Lol He's OK. He is very good at drawing charges, I assume he's a good locker room guy (who would know though?), and he does seemingly play hard each night, which I'll give him some credit for.

fish7718 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 The Hills of Scottsdale, Ariz., face the great dilemma: choosing to make a move to better their careers or better their family life. Grant Hill’s interest in joining the Knicks and being slotted as their starting shooting guard on a potential Eastern Conference contender is growing by the day, and there is a sense he is leaning toward the Big Apple. The Bulls and Clippers have been mentioned as possible landing spots for Hill, who has played the past three seasons with the Suns. Hill would be playing in the New York spotlight, where a basketball renaissance has taken place. He would be thrust into the basketball mecca and his wife, Tamia, a recording artist, would be in the media and musical mecca. She is expected to release a new album in two months. Tamia Hill played a Central Park concert last summer. Her profile would rise even more in New York with her basketball-star husband starting for the Knicks and her having a permanent spot on celebrity row in the refurbished Garden. “Every time they visit New York and then leave, they always say, ‘Boy, we should get a place here,’’’ one person familiar with Hill’s thinking told The Post. “They love New York.’’ The Suns may be a disaster this season, as they go through a rebuilding phase, reportedly deciding to waive Vince Carter when the lockout officially ends. But as crucial are Hill’s two daughters, who are in elementary school in Scottsdale — fourth grade and kindergarten. The person familiar with Hill’s thinking said he never has been willing to live away from his children and he would likely bring them along for the Big Apple ride. But as another Hill confidant said, “Scottsdale is hard to give up.’’ Hill has showed up routinely at the Suns’ practice facility to work out since Thursday, when teams opened their buildings for voluntary workouts as the lockout draws to an official close. Hill’s teammate, Jared Dudley, gave both sides of his conundrum. “He doesn’t have any choice but to come back,’’ Dudley told the Arizona Republic. “We need him here, we’re already thin as it is. “His family’s here and we’ve got his training staff for him. At the same time, he’s at a point in his career where everybody wants to win.’’ With the former Duke Blue Devil aboard, the Knicks’ starting lineup would be Chauncey Billups, Hill, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Jared Jeffries, who agreed to terms yesterday. It’s full of veteran savvy and leadership. Hill could be the missing leadership ingredient and ensure Stoudemire and Anthony never put their own needs above the team. Knicks brass also was concerned guard Landry Fields may not be ready for a starting role. Hill played for Mike D’Antoni in his first season in Phoenix in 2007-08, but Hill already has rejected the Knicks two years ago to sign a two-year deal with the Suns. “Exceptional character in the locker room,’’ one Phoenix source said. “It’s very hard to find anyone better than Grant in a locker room.’’ It is why Steve Nash said over the weekend “it was very important’’ for the Suns to keep him. Suns general manager Lon Babby, Hill’s former agent, called Hill his highest priority. Hill still is represented by Babby’s D.C. law firm. Last month, Hill attended the Garden to watch Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski set the Division I record for victories. Hill crossed paths with Knicks executive Allan Houston. Soon they may be crossing paths a lot more. Source Would be an awesome veteran presence at SG allowing Fields to come off bench at 2 and 3 and be energy. Love it, but it does mean less time for Bill Walker and Iman Shumpert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just read that on RealGM^...Pretty interesting. I rather had Fields start and Hill come off the bench. But, either way it'd be a nice addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 What do you guys think of bringing in Rip Hamilton? Good role player? Would he be solid at the 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Fine with Rip if he's cheap. We lowballed Hill and he went back to Phoenix. D'Antoni also said we're not looking to add a PG. Said Melo will be a Larry Bird style point-forward, said the offense will run through him. Amar'e wasn't upset about the CP3 stuff, which is good. Oh, and Derrick Brown was non-tendered to create more cap room. He immediately re-signed with Charlotte. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler was signed-and-traded to New York along with the rights to Ahmad Nivins and Giorgos Printezis which were held by the Mavericks, while the Knicks sent Ronny Turiaf and cash to the Wizards and Andy Rautins to Dallas. The Wizards also receive a 2012 second-round pick from the Mavericks and a 2013 second-round pick from the Knicks. The Wizards sent a protected second-round pick to Dallas.

Trying to find possible options on how to acquire Barea.Knicks Make Push for Barea (REALGM) If they can get Barea, they'd be set. They'd definitely win 40 games baring some type of injuries.

JYD Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 What type of player is this Jordan? Athletic? Clumsey? Offensive/defensive? etc. Will he even play you think? What about this guy Harrelson from UK? He looked like a bum at UK lol Oh and what do you guys think of the Bibby sign it? I am disgusted with it, rather have Anthony Carter back. Ok, I'll stop with the questions now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
