Walsh’s Task: Find More Shawne Williamses

The decision to keep Chauncey Billups around at a $14.2 million 2011-12 salary is going to make it difficult for Donnie Walsh to fill the rest of the Knicks roster. But Shawne Williams is one veteran that could make things a lot easier. Williams significantly out-played his near-minimum salary in 2010-11, and could be in [...]

What about Jim O’Brien as a d-coordinator? His defensive philosophy would seem to mesh pretty well with SSOL, no?

Knicks to Add “Defensive Coordinator?”

According to the latest buzz, Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni will add a coach to his staff to focus on improving the team’s highly-suspect-and-I’m-being-charitable defense. That’s a logical, but somewhat surprising step. D’Antoni has resisted making a similar hire in the past. Then-Phoenix general manager Steve Kerr reportedly pressed D’Antoni to add Tom Thibodeau to his [...]

Wilson Chandler is not Walking Through That Door

Let’s put a stop to all the “Wilson Chandler could return to the Knicks” talk now, shall we? To review: as several different writers have noted, Mike D’Antoni loves Chandler, that Chandler loves New York, and that Chandler will be a restricted free agent. That being the case, couldn’t the Knicks make a move to [...]

Mock Draft Version 3.0

The 2011 NBA Draft is shaping up as one of the weakest in recent memory. An already-suspect talent pool got even shallower when Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger, North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes and Baylor’s Perry Jones – the projected second, fourth and fifth picks in our last mock – all opted to stay in school for [...]
