Here Matt:
That’s probably a 1994 ball, since Anderson and Campbell were on the team then.

Also, #24 is Bill Bradley’s number. His number is retired.

If you want the full roster, go to basketball-reference.com and go under Teams, Knicks, and all the rosters are there.

Hope that helps Matt.

Hi Knick fans,
I have a question does anyone have any links to some old rosters. I need the 94, 95 and 96 season with player numbers. I have a basketball signed by a good amount of the team I can make out Bo Kimble, Anthony Mason, Herb Williams, John Starks, Hubert Davis, Rolando Blackman, Charles Smith, Eric Anderson and Tony Campbell but there are a few I dont know one is #24. Also I am not sure of the year. I have a family member who was friends with one of the coaches. But I need the money so I have to sell it. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Matt

[...] As I alluded to in September (see Question #2) the question of style/tempo would be an interesting one for Larry Brown. Fortunately, he has allowed the Knicks to play the seventh quickest pace in the league at 92.6 possessions per game (Phoenix is 1st at 95.6). Given the makeup of the roster I believe this is the right call. Unfortunately, at this point the Knicks aren?t any more efficient now (103.2) than they were last season (103). But, one could change the framing of that statement and argue that the current Knicks have managed to match the offensive output of last year?s version despite only intermittent production from an out-of-shape and hobbled Curry, an unstable rotation filled with rookie starters, and perhaps most importantly with a knack for getting to the free throw line. So going forward one reason to suspect that the offensive efficiency will improve is that Curry is getting closer to game shape. One reason to suspect that the Knicks will cut down on turnovers is that the rotation is beginning to stabilize. Also, adding David Lee to the starting lineup, even out of position at small forward, brings better ball handling and passing to the frontcourt than Quentin Richardson or Trevor Ariza. [...]

This season it?s going to be a coaching challenge and success of Browns career. This season the Knicks have come satiated to prove that they are building and heading toward a title or to mark the beginning of a painful season, which will finally make Knicks management realize the need to start over and rebuild.

Well, here’s a few more details. Curry’s getting a new contract as part of the deal (it was a sign-and-trade). No details yet, but it’s believed to be worth as much as $60mil over 6yrs with incentives. The Knicks are going to release Antonio Davis, and he’s going to re-sign with the Bulls. The Knicks are also sending a 1st and at least 1 2nd round pick to the Bulls (one newspaper says 1 pick, the other says 2).

Curry averaged 16.1 PPG last year, he’s only 23 years old, and he can score down low, which is something that the Knicks desperately needed. Provided Curry’s health holds up, I think this is a good short-term solution to filling the hole at the 5. We lose a declining Tim Thomas and ease the glut at guard by getting rid of the journeyman Jackson. Of course I’d rather have Sweetney than Davis, but I guess you can’t have something for nothing. As long as Isaiah doesn’t ink any huge multi-year contracts without stealing and testing some of Curry’s DNA first, this is a good trade.

Sweetney really wasn’t that good, he was solid if unspectacular.

Curry has loads more talent, I think that is undeniable. Obviously there is the risk that he could drop dead at any moment though. Talent-wise, we just got a huge upgrade.

I think its good news, although I would like to see the full details. TT was next to useless, Sweetney was a solid player. Frye looks more like a PF anyway, so I would say at centre you now have James and Curry splitting minutes, which gives you scoring (and not much else) in Curry and rebounding and blocking in James. All in all, that means the Knicks are as good as anyone at centre in the Eastern Conference (bar the Heat of course).

At PF we have Frye, Taylor and Rose, which is serviceable, at SF we have Richardson, Ariza, at guard we got Marbury, Crawford, Robinson, Houston (?).

I think we have the talent now, its mainly a matter of working out the best rotation and I think we have a coach who is pretty good at doing that.

Ok, maybe the flight of stairs post was a bit of a “natural reaction without much thinking” move by me. In Curry, we’re getting a capable offensive player; his PPG have risen every year, he was 5th in the league in FG% last year, and his contract is up after the season, because to my knowledge he wasn’t signed to a newer deal lately (unless I’m wrong). Of course there’s the heart thing, but God willing that won’t be a problem.

We’re losing Tim Thomas who was less that productive, and Sweetney, who shall be sorely missed. Also, this means we’ll have a logjam at center, with Jumaine, Curry, and Frye splitting minutes, or, worse, with Frye being shafted.

After sitting down and not really looking at this move in any clearer light than i did before, and doing the exact minimum amount of research necessary to do anything, I deem this move…a bad move. So there. I hear the flight of stairs calling.
