Pick Your Poison: New York Knicks Style

by Free Agency/Trades/Front Office

Well Buckets Over Broadway fans, I’m running short on ideas on Knicks news for the day, so how about I do something a little different? This offseason has been filled with various rumors that usually end up with a “No” directed at the Knicks front office.

Now a few weeks after Grant Hill and Jason Kidd gave us the cold shoulder let me breakdown the remaining options for the Knicks this offseason.

Jamaal Tinsley:

The dude is from New York and would take a discount, GREAT! Tinsley is a one dimensional PG with little speed and a weak passing game with an average jumpshot. So, I guess he’d fit right in. Tinsley would come off the bench for Duhon, which would be great for Duhon, but a Tinsley/Duhon backcourt is still pretty atrocious.

Troy Hudson:

Spre, Is that you?

Spre, Is that you?

Since when has this guy shown any sign of being of any use to a team? He was really ineffective in Golden State and hasn’t been a legit player in this league since his Timberwolves days. Tinsley is a much better option then this scrub. Hudson isn’t a good fit here, even if he resembles Sprewell and would come from Golden State. They both also spent time in Minnesota. That’s pretty crazy.

Ramon Sessions:

Do want! Sessions is certainly the best option in the PG market and if that means Duhon heads back to the bench, I’m all for it. Duhon is a role player and is a good one at that. Sessions is someone you can build around and makes everyone better around him. He’s a great slice and dice PG and has all the tools to flourish in this system. It’s saddening that Walsh is too foolish to give the guy a 5.8 mil even if that dips into next summers fund. There are no guarantees next summer, but Sessions being a great fit under D’Antoni certainly is.

So, Knicks fans who ya’ got?

Shon, really good point on the second round situation. Also, with them bringing in Jennings they can't possibly believe Ridnour, Jennings, AND Sessions will share the PG role without stirring a problem? Thanks for the comment and good insight.

Earnest, Hill and Kidd turned us down for money. Boozer is a terrible defender, so he'd fit D'Antoni's system, haha. Anyway, I wanted Hill, but Kidd wanted too much. Chandler is going to be a great player one day, Harrington is a good 6th man but throws up way too many shots.

And the Bosh thing was bogus. He laughed when he was asked about going to New York. It was to dodge the question so he doesn't stir anymore problems in Toronto. He'll end up in NY, book it.

PICK SESSIONS. IT IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT JAMES WOULD COME TO NEW YORK. GRANT HILL NOR JASON KIDD TURNED DOWN NY. I'M TOLD CHRIS BOSH LAUGHED WHEN NY WAS MENTIONED TO HIM.

I would absolutely love for the knicks to sign sessions. He appears to be a pretty good up and coming PG. hes never really played strong through an entire season, but he has shown that he has the potential to be a very good player. hes only 23 and he appears to have alot of upside.

His biggest obstacle to joining new york is that he has over valued himself. his asking price is just too high for a guy who hasnt blown anyone away just yet. if he were a first rounder instead of a second rounder he would still be playing under a rookie contract. also glen big baby davis just signed a two year 6 million dollar contract. davis was also a second rounder the biggest difference is that he has contributed to a championship in boston and he played great in the playoffs this past season in place of kg.
Sessions would b a nice fit for new yorks open style of play with his passing abilities. and he would be doing his self a service coming to a team that would give him the opportunity to start. not to mention the fact that the knicks have a chance to snag some big free agents next summer. in my opinion if he were to ask for something in the 3 to 4 million dollar range, a deal will be reached. Take your time donnie, make the right deal.
