eff 2010...knicks takin the title in 09
and JO is a free agent next year too who needs lebron?
lol the signing isnt OD random cuz Walsh has a thing for some of his old Pacers players and ones he drafted, like with al harrington.
plus we need a good locker room guy and an extra 7 footer for practice squad and i guess walsh feels he's good for that

My thoughts exactly. GM's just have guys they like. I'm sure Donnie had SOME interest in Jamaal Tinsley as well.

there's gotta be a trade in the works....anyone remember when KVH was brought out of retirement (by I think the Nets) and was used in a trade?

That's why I don't get it...you give a guy who hasn't played ball in 3 years the vet minimum? There has to be something brewing in NY....
what does this say about Jordan Hill if he gets burn over him
but seriously....maybe Bender will be packaged w. Nate...

Ummm when KVH came out of retirement they were worried about him passing his physical. Dude literally rolled off his couch with no intentions of playing, justdoing the team a favor. I'm pretty sure I read during the off season that Bender was working hard to get into shape and stuff.

If there isn't a trade..
he's a high character guy to have in the locker room. He's been a mentor to handful of a few young players, even when he hasn't been in theleague..

So when will he be used? You know Dantoni and his rotation decisions.

I can guarantee Donnie did not bring him to then trade him, he's 'his guy'. He'd be remain with the Knicks as more would be going out then coming in.
Allen....you're trying to make sense of a situation that just doesn't make sense. I can dig that Bender is Walsh's "guy,"but you're bringing in a dude who hasn't hooped in 3 years???? This is not a guy who was playing ball in Europe or anywhere else....he hasn't beendoing anything. Makes no sense other than to possibly use him as a bargaining chip in a potential trade. Even with that being said, you just very well may beright

Yeah, that's my point how CAN a guy who hasn't played in 3 years a bargaining chip?
If a team asked for a throw in, they probably weren't asking for Jon Bender.

But how did the KVH thing work out? Wasn't he out of the league for like 2 years when he signed w. the Nets only to be traded?
I was reading on the Real GM MB, and a lot of folks seem to think Bender was only brought in to tutor Jordan Hill.

You guys have to remember that the NBA is a fraternity Walsh could be just doing him a favor to get some extra money to fund some of his endeavors outside ofbasketball it could be totally unrelated to what he can bring to the team.

I don't think it's outta the question I mean don't get me wrong of course Walsh hopes he can help the team out but there's areason nobody else
even gave this dude a chance this year and it's obvious he has been trying to get back in the L and like they mentioned him and Walsh are pretty tight.

i answered your question double j, he'll be used in practice.
he may get the occasional burn like landry if theres blowout games, but i dont see him cracking the rotation.

I think we'd trade Nate Robinson as well. If we were to trade Bender, I think we'd trade Curry as well.

Bender can't be traded for like 3 months anyways.
Either Walsh thinks he has game left or wants to use him as a veteran presence.
