New York Knicks: You trying to get the pipe? - Page 17 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I think it's about time this thread got a witty title. I thought "still waiting for the LBJ" was pretty clever though. I'm thinking "Al Harrington Superstar gonna Superstar"

D'Antoni giving an interview on the fan right now. It's been good so far.

Are the Knicks a favorite to dump at least one of JJ/Curry before the deadline? Curry obviously has a ways to go, and Jeffries' stats don't look great, but I assume his defense is recognized? Boston picks him up at the deadline to handle LeBron/VC in the playoffs? Cavs pick him up for similar reasons, shooting themselves in the foot for the next 15 years?

Trust me on this one. Just accept that neither will get traded. That way, when they do, it'll be a pleasant surprise. Because it's probably not going to happen anyway.

Knicks signed Jonathan Bender.

What, they needed another body for practice?

This seems pretty high up there in the irrelevance department, but I'm probably missing something.

I'm sure it costs them basically nothing. I remember Hahn writing an article about how Walsh loved him in Indiana and worked him out this summer. Apparently he's worked pretty hard to get healthy. He was never a good player but was always super talented and is 7' tall. What's the worst that can happen, he sucks?

In case someone gets injured, obv. Copstache only rotates 8 guys anyway. Milicic will get playing time before Bender does.

Bender might develop into the greatest NBA big man since Patrick Ewing.

Not that I know anything nor am I in a position to watch the games, but I've read a couple of articles/blog posts in the last few days that basically say that if they do trade Jeffries, their recent success is history. His defense has been vital.

He actually doesn't. On offense he certainly does, and it's easy to think that he sucks overall because we can only really measure offense contribution with the stats we have available, but everything indicates that he's a top notch defensive player in the league.
