An NBA draft where the #1 overall consensus is a power forward, and a ton of guards are to be had including an intriguing foreign guard? No I’m not talking about this Thursday’s NBA draft where Blake Griffin is likely to go #1, there is a lot of depth at guard, and everyone is wondering [...]

Although there has been no official word, a few different sources have reported that the Knicks have hired Donnie Walsh to oversee their franchise.
