here is my take on teams - Knicks: Pro: Knicks are better team than previous years. Last year, Knicks finally made to the playoffs after few years layoff. New GM Isiah Thomas has revamped the roster. There are only few players left (Huston, Sweetney, Kurt Thomas) from the previous Knicks regime. He added versatile guard Jamaal Crawford via trade. Knick are athletic team and are small in the middle. Marbury will have All star caliber season. Atlantic Division is not that deep so Knicks would finish on the top. Con: team is loaded with Shooting guard and power forward, no big center, doesn?t rebound well, Houston is hurt and no date available for return Starting lineup: Stefan Marbury ? Point Guard Allan Houston ? Shooting Guard Tim Thomas ? Small Forawrd Kurt Thomas ? Power Forward Nazr Mohamed ? Center Bench ? Jaamal Crawford, Mike Sweetney, Penny Hardaway, Jerome Williams, Vin Baker. Knicks are still one trade away from being a good team in the east. They need a good center or power forward that can rebound and score consistently. Isiah had a bad hand dealt and he is making it worse. He was able to ship high paying contracts and in return he got players who have worse contract. If Knicks won?t finish 1st in this division, he will have hard time keeping the job.
