<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Dude, hasn't this season taught you anything? We went out and pointlessly got Francis and Rose and now you're hyping KG and O'Neal? You've gotta be kidding me.Heres what I think, position by position:
PG: Nate Robinson may not ever be a full time starter in this league, but he's a huge spark off the bench and I think will be one of our leaders for years to come, even if he isn't in the starting five. Crawford proved to be a reliable leader in the last month of the season and while he can use a bit of coaching at the position I love the ball in his hands when the clock is winding down. I think we have to pursue someone like Mike James this off-season, and if he doesn't opt out of his contract Jason Terry is someone else I like as long as the price is right. Marbury and Francis will be nearly impossible to unload, but we have to make every effort to do so.
SG: Again, I grew to like Crawford a lot and think he belongs in the starting five and has to be out there late in the fourth. However with Francis and Marbury on the roster it'll be hard for him to see the floor. Quentin Richardson will likely stick to SF as a starter because he became one of our better defenders last year and should be in the starting lineup if healthy. Guys like him, Francis and Marbury will shift to this position behind Crawford. Jalen Rose is a guy who I think should and will be unloaded.
SF: Again, I like Q-Rich starting here. David Lee and Malik Rose can provide depth, but Lee is better suited for the 4 because of his ability to crash the boards. And again, Jalen Rose is someone I hope to see unloaded.
PF: Channing Frye is the present and future at this position. Larry Brown doesn't usually utilize his rookies but Frye was out there all the time for us last year because he was just that reliable..I love his perimeter shot, one of the best among big men in the league. Hopefully he gets to 100% soon and can bulk up a bit, but guys like Garnett and O'Neal aren't needed whatsoever unless you just haven't heard of this guy..And if thats the case, New Jersey isn't that far away and I'm sure they'd love to improve upon their fanbase.
C: Jerome James was the stupidest signing I've ever seen this team make. Or, Curry was just the worst trade..But I'll stick with James being the worst addition because he just didn't produce. He's another guy I hope we can get rid of. Jackie Butler showed a lot of promise off of the bench and I really hope to see him getting minutes behing Curry.So our depth chart would look something like this..PG - Marbury | Francis | RobinsonSG - Francis | Marbury | CrawfordSF - Richardson | Lee | RosePF - Frye | Lee | CurryC - Curry | Frye | ButlerAgain, I'd like to see us unload Marbury and Francis, and add someone like Mike James..So basically my fantasy Knicks roster would look like this

G - James | Robinson | CrawfordSG - Crawford | Robinson | RichardsonSF - Richardson | Rose | LeePF - Frye | Lee | CurryC - Curry | Butler | FryeThen you have to take rookies into account..Hopefully we take a long look at SG and SF in the draft, but unloading our big contracts (J. Rose, Francis, Marbury, James..*sigh*) should be our #1 priority. This team won't be under the cap until about 2009..</div>Trade the roster, end up with KG, O'Neal, and possibly Robinson at PG. Then fill in the rest next year.
