I still contend that the Knicks will make a strong play for Nash if the Suns are struggling midseason.
I agree if they find themselves unable to deal for Melo. They'll save all their assets for that deal first.

Is it possible they might have enough assets for both? I'm not familiar with what Walsh and company have in the pantry. Curry's expiring deal, Gallo, Chandler, . . . ?


I could certainly seeing them be in play for both. I dont know if they'd be able to swing it though. If i were in charge of the Knicks, I would make a huge play at Melo after December 15th. Let him and Stoudamire gel and then look for a better PG in the offseason through either free agency or trade.

Probably not, the Knicks have no first round picks to send. Given that both Denver and the Suns will want young talent and/or picks for their stars I don't forsee them having the ammo for both.

Especially since Nash isn't the type to force his way out of town.

AV dominated Amare last night...his pts on paper are misleading.He had 16pts at the end of regulation but scored a three plus a few in overtime.AV kept him in ck.most of the game.

You had to figure this was going to happen. Amar'e wasn't going to keep dropping 30/10 at such a high shooting percentage.

Pierce is a better rebounder than Amare. It’s just that PP is playing small forward so he’s out on the perimeter. If D’Antoni played Paul as a PF (which he would) I guarantee he could put up some [dang] good rebounding numbers.

Amare is good offensive player but is absolutely horrible on defense, and that includes his rebounding.
