It's getting close....

The Wolves have the 5th & 6th pick. They shipped out Randy Foye and Mike Miller. The KNicks are affected by this. I think that Donnie Walsh is upset by this move. Stephen Curry will be off the board by then. Tyreke Evans will be gone by then. Ricky Rubio will be gone too. James Harden wont be there then. I think that they need to go for a PG. I also think that Nate Robinson needs to stay with The Knicks too, but i also cant have both he and a player like Flynn in the backcourt as well. I would love to bring in Hasshem Thabeet, but he'll be gone at 2 based on my research. I'd like to see Jordan Hill, but the Warriors will have selected him if he's there. I am left with players  Flynn and Holiday. Donnie Walsh can't get creative and drop down in the Draft and get two picks, a Ty Lawson and Gerald Henderson, can't he? The team has a glaring need for defense and leadership. You can't get leadership from the Draft unless you find DRose from Chicago, or Lebron. Deron Willams was a top pick and led Illinois. Jrue Holliday is that leader at 19yrs old the Knicks need, or Brandon Jennings, who couldn't get into Arizona, but got creative and started a new trend. But I'm not quite sure they are what the Knicks need. Curry has been a leader for Davidson, Terrence Williams could benefit from playing in NY, because he can take coaching having dealt with the fire of Rick Pitino. The Wolves have done a lot for themselves working the Wizards for their pick. I cant believe that Grunfield and Saunders are so confident in their roster, as to trade away a top 5 pick, an unproven cmmodity. To be truthful, I'm confident in their squad. Randy Foye carried the Wolves when Al Jefferson went down. When Miller was a Grizzly, he was the point forward the Knicks wish Jared Jefferies was. I think that the Wolves and the Wizards are the beginning of a busy off-season. There are teams that need a few tweeks to get into serious contention in the league. The Spurs and the Bucs got in the mix, Jefferson never looked comfortable in Milwaukee plus he makes a boatload of money the next two years. I guess that means that Sessions and Villanueva will be resigned or offered a qualifying contract . Blake Griffin is a glorified Carlos Bozzer in my opinion, with less jump-shooting ability and more hops. He won't be a #1 option, but basketball is a team game and Dunleavy and the Clippers will use height to help him in the box, he's and Beasley will have fun matching up.  I'm looking for The Knicks to do something different, and find a way to brin in players that the fans can relate to. I look for the Knicks to stop taking players that didn't fit with their former team, and rehabilitate their image in NY. We need to go young and do it in a serious way, even if that means moving Q-Rich and keeping Hughes and Harrington. I would like to see Tyreke Evans, Gerald Henderson, Tyler Hanboro, Austin Daye, or even Rubio dawn the fabled orange and blue. If i am really trying to keep the Lebron to NY in2010 alive, I assume Stephen Curry has to be in the mix. Come on Knicks lets go!!!
