Although I am so disappointed we didn’t get LeBron James, I feel pretty good about the Knicks roster for next year. I don’t feel pretty good about their management though, which is what I’ll start with.

Even though Donnie Walsh has denied that he is retiring due to health issues and heart break following the decision, the fact that a rumor of that nature spread is very disconcerting. Walsh has always said he is in New York for the long term, and he stripped our entire roster for LBJ. We didn’t get LeBron, so it is now Donnie’s responsibility to fix what he broke. Walsh also said that he is considering finding a new GM for the Knicks. Walsh is GM, if someone else was GM, what would that make him? The scariest part of it all, however, is that Walsh said he is considering giving the job to Isaiah Thomas. His reasoning is that Thomas played a pivotal part during free agency due to his connections- excuse me, but do you remember the disaster Thomas was during his stint with the Knicks? He said he had a master plan and then got rid of the entire team in favor of Stephon Marbury! Please, any sane man would see the absurdity of an Isiah Thomas return.

Instead of dwelling on our unreliable front office, I will focus on our positive roster upgrades. Here is my version of the New York depth chart next season.

PG- Raymond Felton, Toney Douglas

SG- Wilson Chandler, Kelenna Azubuike, Andy Rautins

SF- Danilo Gallinari, Bill Walker

PF- Amar’e Stoudamire, Anthony Randolph

C- Ronny Turiaf, Eddy Curry

The weakness is clearly at the center position, but the Knicks shouldn’t deal anyone now. It’s time to commit to this playoff worthy roster and give our guys time to gel. After all, Raymond Felton is a huge upgrade over Chris Duhon, who completely forgot how to play basketball last year and is lucky that the Magic were so generous with a four year contract.
