KNICKS MAY STRUGGLE TO GET POINT GUARDS
Wednesday, 01 July 2009

MARBURY: STARS SHOULDN'T SIGN WITH KNICKS
Wednesday, 01 July 2009
New York Post-

Stephon Marbury, who becomes a free agent again today, believes star players should be cautious about signing with the Knicks because of Mike D'Antoni's offensive scheme and the way the organization treats people.

"I wouldn't want to play in that system,'' Marbury told The Post. "That system can't win championships. You can't win championships if you don't talk about defense. In Boston, the coaches even play defense.''

Marbury said he believes being exiled for four months "mentally damaged'' him and effected his Boston performance.

"I knew it wasn't about money,'' Marbury said of his exile.

"They spent 3 million on a 29th pick. They could've given $3 million to Anucha (Browne-Sanders). I knew it was personal. It's about ego and power. I've never been so happy to be out of someplace. The way I was treated, lied to, grown men doing this that have stature.''

Knicks not Kidd-ing around with Jason
Tuesday, 30 June 2009

Jason Kidd plans to meet with Knicks officials Wednesday morning, opening day of the free agent recruiting period.

A league source told the Daily News Monday night that Kidd is scheduled to sit down with Knicks president Donnie Walsh and head coach Mike D'Antoni early Wednesday. Kidd said in January that he would strongly consider signing with the Knicks.

Kidd, who helped the Nets reach back-to-back NBA Finals before being traded to Dallas two years ago, is giving the Mavericks the first chance to re-sign him. The future Hall of Fame point guard will speak with Dallas officials before he talks to the Knicks. It is believed that Kidd also will talk to the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Knicks could sign Kidd to the mid-level exception or try to negotiate a sign-and-trade with Dallas. Since the Mavs traded Devin Harris two seasons ago for Kidd, Dallas figures to make a strong push to re-sign Kidd or at least get compensation for having mortgaged its future.

The Knicks' interest in signing Kidd is twofold. Team president Donnie Walsh is looking for an experienced floor leader as well as a player who could help recruit LeBron James should the Cavaliers' superstar and league MVP become a free agent next summer.

KNICKS TO CLEAR UP LEE, NATE SITUATIONS
Tuesday, 30 June 2009
New York Post-The agent for David Lee scoffed at speculation yesterday the Knicks' acquisitions of big men, first-rounder Jordan Hill and Darko Milicic, mean his rugged-rebounding client is done as a Knick.

The shaky futures of restricted free agents Lee and Nate Robinson will become clearer in the next 24 hours.

"You're talking about a guy who led the league in double-doubles," Mark Bartlestein told The Post. "I don't know that a draft pick and a guy like that (Darko), you can't really compare them. I didn't think much of it."

Lee and Robinson become free at midnight. They played four seasons with the Knicks, who went 23-59, 33-49, 23-59 and 32-50 during that time. Walsh plans to make Lee an initial offer tomorrow.

Walsh's spin is clear. He wants to re-sign Lee and Robinson if he can get them at "reasonable" contracts. To that end, a source said Robinson would consider signing the Knicks' one-year qualifying offer, believing the economy will be stronger in 2010. That would delight Walsh.

Knicks Draft Jordan Hill
Monday, 29 June 2009
The Knicks finally got the player they wanted in the draft. Introducing Jordan Hill. As much as I would like to say I like the Knicks selection with the 8th pick I really can’t. Don’t get me wrong, Jordan Hill is a good role player. Hill is a powerforward that can rebound and play some defense. However he is not what the Knicks need right now. The Knicks needed to draft either a point guard or shooting guard. The right pick for the Knicks should have been Brandon Jennings, Demar DeRozan, or Terrence Williams. It looked like on draft night Donnie Walsh played the conservative role. At what point will the Knicks look for a star in the draft instead of getting a players that will be good role players?

With so much uncertainty with the Knicks in the backcourt it’s mind boggling that Walsh would not draft a point guard or a shooting guard. We already know that Chris Duhon can not hack it as the Knicks starting point guard for the whole season. Last season Duhon started the season off strong and ran out of gas.  Then you have Nate Robinson who the Knicks don’t seem to want to resign. So what is the Knicks’ future in the backcourt? In today’s NBA it is rare that a team is successful without a floor general. It really looks like Donnie Walsh missed the boat on this one for not taking a risk on a player that could have really made an impact for the Knicks in this up incoming season.

Jordan Hill is a player that has not been playing organized ball too long so there is much that he has to work on. I do not doubt he can be a good role player in this league. Right now he is a hardworking player that looks to get better which is a plus. The areas I feel is needs to work on his offensive game. He has to develop more postup moves to be effective. Another area that I can feel can make him a good player is being able to create off the dribble. Right now the Knicks do not have many players that can create their own shot. If Hill can work on being able to create his own shot that make his life easier and making the life of the point guard that much easier. All that being said, it is going to be interesting to find out what other moves will be made this offseason because it is two years in a role that the Knicks passed up on getting a player that could help the Knicks in the backcourt.

Overall Jordan Hill is a good player but I just feel the Knicks should have drafted a point guard or shooting guard with the 8th pick. The good news is that Hill can rebound and run on the break if the Knicks want to push the ball. Drafting Hill could also mean that the Knicks have no interest in resigning David Lee who also plays the powerforward spot. There are a few things that we know that Hill has that Lee did not bring consistently every night and that is shooting from the outside. Hill on the other hand can knock down the midrange shot like former Knicks players Kurt Thomas and Charles Oakley. It will be a tall order for Hill to replace Lee’s numbers last season but if Hill can give the Knicks 9 to 10 rebound plus 13 to 14 points in his rookie year I think fans will be satisfied with this pick.

Now that Hill is here I wish the guy the best of luck playing in the Big Apple and I can’t wait to see him in summer league.
