All the players are begining to gather at the MSG facility. We're hearing about all the new muscles Toney Douglas and Landry Fields have packed on now. We're hearing about Carmelo being healthy, focused and arguably in the best physical shape he's ever been to start a season. A'mare is hard at work in florida and should bring his topless practicing self to westchester by Wednesday. Chancey is in denver resting his nuggets....you see the theme? Its no wonder they don't release a calender so fans can really admire the body's of professional atheletes that are supposed to be inproving their already near peak conditions anyway. Landry in a speedo. Get it done!
In all seriousness, the talk of building and improving players from within is the way the Knicks should focus. What else are we hearing? Grant Hill? That dude signed in pheonix a few years ago because the Knicks weren't good enough. Now he's on the last legs of his career and he's on our radar again. At this stage of the game how much better is Grant Hill than Landry Fields? The Knicks don't have a need for a utility guy with Landry on the roster. Carmelo is the man at the 3. At the 2 the Knicks now have Iman Shumpert who's going to make an impact without a doubt this year. Grant Hill in my opinion is thinking about post career right now. Are the Knicks also looking to have him smiling for the camera and possibly behind the scenes one day?
Another guy mentioned is Anthony Parker. He's being sold to fans as a sharp shooter. If you believe that then you believe anything. Anthony Parker is a bum. If you watch games then you know the Knicks would be better off signing Shawne Williams who knows the system and has a point to prove....and he also can be labeled a sharp shooter if Anthony Parker is. Its a joke in my opinion.
The Knicks have financial stability and once Chancey Billups is off the books they will have wiggle room to make real improvements year to year. Press the easy button. Allow the the guys in house to build chemistry. These players aren't terrible. What the Knicks do need is a center. They have Jerome Jordan in europe playing very well. He is putting up numbers that translate to 20pts and 7 rebounds per 36 mins. He's playing against grown men that play the chippy euro style. He's getting banged out there. He's ready for the nba now. Its not your fathers euro league. The talent is very strong. No one is expecting Jerome Jordan to be Patrick Ewing. He could very well be servicable to platoon with the kid from kentucky and a veterans minimum guy.
Let's not try to hypnotize fans with nonsense. Fans that are talking about other low level players like Anthony Parker like they are going to do something need to take a chill pill. I got another blog coming to speak on Chris Paul. Get your mind right everyone!
