<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Among the possibilities now on the market is Fordham product Smush Parker, a point guard released this week by the Pistons. Or, if they're desperate for size with Michael Sweetney out, Derrick Coleman is also available, also having been released by the Pistons.</div>

I don't know if Derrick Coleman would be really pleased with New York. He is coming from a team where he only averaged 10 minutes a game. He can't get that many minutes in New York with how well Kurt Thomas and Mohammed have been playing. This will be a good move for assurance on Michael Sweetney but, how long will Sweetney be out? I don't think too long at all. When Sweetney comes back from his sprained ankle, what will happen to Coleman? Will he just sit and get the Baker treatment or whose minutes will he take. I think this might be some hard fouls we can use on Shaq. He is somewhat injury prone though. I guess we can always try and give him a 10 day contract or something and see how well he performs. I see Derrick Coleman being helpful for us as a veteran who can give a couple of tips to players like Mohammed and Sweetney. I think we should atleast offer him a chance and see if he can play decent for us. But, even if we do acquire him, it wont be a huge move just one used for assurance, and if we don't acquire him, it will be no biggie just a move to help while Sweetney is gone.
As for Smush Parker, leave him. Moochie Norris has been playing well for us and has been a leader for the Knicks and B-Unit. Btw, B-Unit is what the Knicks bench decided to call themselves. Now back to the signing, the Knicks really don't need him. Even now with Crawford, Penny and Brewer unavailible, I still don't see him getting anymore than 10 minutes a game for the Knicks. What will happen once these players return? Parker will only be on the injuried list. To tell you the truth, I really see signing Smush Parker as a way to pay a player because there is extra room on the bench. Let Parker sign with another team that really needs a PG.
