He's not going to start so does it matter that much? He would be fine off the bench for them playing very limited minutes.

It would matter, they have two solid rotations going. Throw McGrady and his necessity to have the ball in his hands into either the starting lineup or the bench lineup and that team will be thrown out of proportion. And he's not going to be playing limited minutes like he should be, he'll be tossed out there to play. Even if he does get limited minutes, he'd be saying he deserves or needs more time. I dunno, I think he'd be really bad for the Magic. They have a good thing going, don't mess it up with this dude.

Yeah, maybe you're right. I just feel like they have bigger problems than he would be for them. This would be his last year and I feel like throwing him out there a few minutes a night could help them but there really isn't much he brings to the table anymore.
I would like to give the Magic a serious talking to.

SVG is a horrible coach, even if T-Mac puts in work and lights it up he'd still bury him on the bench. Look at Gortat and Bass. Made the offseason hell for the Mavs to keep Gortat and then sign Bass away and they're both rotting on the bench. Ryan Anderson would give them the ability to stretch the floor even more and he's buried. Their problem starts with Ron Jeremy on the bench.

Thats what you get for having a team so stacked.
I honestly dont know why they dont use the "twin tower" lineup more often. Works really well imo.

The Magic do make sense for Tracy McGrady. I don't think it matters. Tracy McGrady isn't the same player as before anyways. I'd definitely love to see him advancing to the second round in the playoffs someday or getting a ring.

Could they use their players better and have better matchups? Sure. Should Dwight be getting more touches in the offense? Definitely. Can SVG sometimes be a bonehead coach? Yep.
Are they still the 2nd best team in the East with a 52-22 record even with their problems and SVG as the coach?
I get what you're saying and I watch the Magic as much as the Knicks, it's frustrating to see SVG and his lineups sometimes. But the team is obviously doing something right and it works for them.
McGrady would be awful for Orlando, though. They don't need another shooter/scorer. They need Dwight to become a dominant offensive force and that's when they become the favorites to win.

Yea, not enough touches for McGrady in Orlando for him to be a productive asset & not hurt the team. I'd still like to see him here, after an off season to get as healthy as he can, along with superstar A & B.

thats not 100% true. Believe it or not, Lebron is on pace to surpass MJ's sales with Nike at this time in his career. Lebron knows he doesn't need NY. NY needs him - no matter how much we wanted to believe otherwise.
We all know NY is the biggest city but to be quite honest with everybody, Lebrons Nike shoes are the best selling basketball shoe model right now.
something tells me I want Lebron in NY so bad but hey, lets be honest. Basketball is good for him where he is right now. I'd the rather Knicks make something out of nothin and make it w/o lebron.

"eff lebron"
that is all.
I'm seriously tired of this dude like im not even hype anymore of the possibility of lebron coming to NY. Im more hype signing joe johnson, chris bosh or even marcus camby and tmac. Tmac i def want to have on the knicks, joe would look lovely wit a knicks jersey

Honestly, if we can resign lee, get bosh, and camby, ill actually call that a success.
Lee as that spark off the bench, Camby with the veteran leadership, hollaaaaaaa.

kids were literally MURDERING and robbing each other over jordans. to this day kids are getting stabbed over jordans shoes. there are people actually rocking concords and space jams to their wedding. i can count the amount of lebron sneakers i've seen worn in new york on one hand, nike is full of crap with whatever numbers you are seeing.
the color scheme alone doesn't work as good as black.red/white from a fahsion sense. i call %%*@*!+$

I dont think sneakers are going to reach its peak like it did 3 years ago. Maybe in another generation when the old fads become the new thing again.

[h3]Donnie Walsh on state of Knicks[/h3]
April, 1, 2010
http://
By Chris Sheridan
The following is a partial transcript of my interview with New York Knicks president Donnie Walsh on the state of the franchise.
For more, see my column on how Walsh plans to approach the summer of 2010 and the next five years.
Sheridan: It was said you’d have a two-year honeymoon when you got here. But the critics are beginning to chirp, and the pressure to make this work is rising. Does it feel to you like the honeymoon is over?
Walsh: I never expected a honeymoon the minute I decided to go the way we’re going I knew the first two years were going to be really rough. I was asked: Do you think New York can rebuild, and I said we’re going to find out because of what we’re going to do. There might not be the appetite for it, we’ll see.
You have to go through pain to rebuild a team, and we’re going through pain. It takes time. If you look at some of these teams that are up at the top, look back 4-5 years and see where they were. They had to go through the same kind of period. I had always been told that New York didn’t want to go through that, so we’ll find out. I’m not sure.
Sheridan: Speaking to folks on the street, which way do those comments run?
Walsh: I haven’t had any really bad experiences. I’m not saying everybody who walks into me agrees with what I’m doing, but they all give me “good luck

You guys are kidding me right? Just because people were killig each other for jordans doesn't mean they were selling more than lebrons. That just means people couldn't afford them back than. I don't hear or see people stickin anybody for kicks anymore. Ever since the fakes came on the scene. And if it is happening, well never hear about it. You didn't see 10 or 11 Jordan colorways of a single model ever until jordans 13th or 14th year. Not to mention so many exclusive pairs and unreleased pairs.
Bottom line, us NYers need to let go of this Lebron thing. We all like it's a failure if we don't get him. It could be a disaster in disguise if we land him. Dude is fine in Cleveland. I think he'll create a legacy if he stays where he's at. The last thing we need is the NYK being known as the big jinx, or career ending paradise. I want to see the Knicks make nothing from something again.

Camby Could Be Set for MSG Return
Posted: 4/2/2010 4:26:00 AM
Source: Marc Berman of the New York Post
As he left Portland's Rose Garden late Wednesday, Marcus Camby carried a plastic bag with some Knicks jerseys and warm-ups inside. Gifts from old friends on the Knicks' support staff.
Camby realizes it's possible he will be wearing the Knicks jersey again for real next season and couldn't hide that old grin when discussing that scenario.
At age 36, the 6-foot-11 Blazers center will be a free agent July 1, available for a mid-range salary the Knicks will try to fit under the salary cap.
They have no center or shot-blocker. Although the Knicks first want to bring in star power, Camby, who played for the Knicks from 1999-2002, fulfills a grave need, and coach Mike D'Antoni and team president Donnie Walsh know it.
"It's a feeling of going back home and going back to a city where I have a lot of great memories and a lot of great friends," Camby said. "Definitely July 1, I'll give New York a look if they're interested."
Camby, a Hartford product, said even his family is excited about recent reports about the Knicks' interest. However, Walsh has so much to juggle. If they get two stars, or one star and re-sign David Lee, there may be no room for Camby or a mid-range free agent. Raja Bell and Kyle Korver also are on their list.
"You always want to be where you're wanted," said Camby. "I know how it feels like to play for the Knicks. I know what it feels like to wear that jersey and represent that city. All the great players we had. All the great times we had on that team."
