Sebastian Telfair? I would rather have flesh eating bacteria eat me alive while having carbolic acid periodically poured over my body than have him on the Knicks.

The guy is terrible. 21 but terrible. Dont we have enough overrated Coney Island point guards on the team is it is?

I bet we could find a better option – too bad Darren Collison said he’s going back to school – but it’s not ridiculous. He’s a far better prospect than Mardy Collins, and two years younger.

I don’t agree at all. He is another Shoot first point guard, but he can’t shoot. He doesn’t get along with Stephon at all. He could very well practice on the practice team, but whose minutes would he take? Not Marbury or Collins or even Steve Francis. Then again there is no risk if we sign him to something like a 5 million 2 year deal if that, so it might be okay to sign him just in cause he breaks out.

No, because the Knicks can just sign him using their mid-level (with his problems, it shouldn’t take much more than a million, I’d think) salary cap exemption.

In fact, sounds like a good entry topic, no?

what about our salary cap situation – would that prevent us from signing him?

The Knicks might very well be the best place for him to ressurect his career (and yes, it is extremely creepy to be talking about a 21-year-old needing to “resurrect” his career). With Marbury there to help him out, it would be a nice fit, I think, for both parties.

If Baron Davis keeps getting into the paint like he did in game one, I don’t see how Biedrins will have any shortage of opportunities to finish around the basket.

It may not seem like a particularly impressive skill to catch a ball right next to the basket and dunk it, but it’s something that both Dallas struggle to accomplish without turning the ball over.

Not to mention other post-season centers: Jason Collins, Darko Milicic, Kwame Brown, Dikembe Mutombo…

I know a lot of people had the Warriors targeted as possible upset bait, so I don’t feel too original thinking this, however, looking at this year’s Warriors, I think about the 1999 Knick team.

#8 because of injuries, then got healthy for the first round of the playoffs.

Good success against the #1 team in the first round.

Extremely familiar with the other team’s system (Riley wanted Van Gundy to go to Miami with him, right?).

This should be a fun series.
