SBNation NBA Mock Draft, Pick #8: New York Knicks
Ridiculous Upside — ... 2009 NBA Draft, the Knicks select Jrue Holiday. With Rubio, Jennings, and Curry off the board, the Knicks look to a guy with a lot to prove and a year in a good system behind him.  Holiday hasn't been talked about as much as some of the others, but rumor has it he's beloved by Mike D'Antoni. Holiday's size and defensive instincts give him a leg up on the competition, but he'll need to show capabilities as a floor general moreso than he did at UCLA. With the gun-shy Chris Duhon and unpredictable ...

Consider the range of these comparables: Troy Murphy ($11 million), Andris Biedrins ($9 million) and Udonis Haslem ($7.1 million). We've heard very little from David Lee and his people about this, and I'm curious to see how other teams value him, and whether or not the Knicks value him most. - Chris Duhon is hosting a charity golf tournament today that ...

Jason Kidd to Meet With Knicks
Posting and Toasting — ... Kidd would be an upgrade over incumbent starting point guard Chris Duhon, but there are obvious risks attached to signing a 37-year-old player. And the Knicks also have to ask themselves why Kidd is so interested in joining a team that isn't vying for a championship. The obvious concern is that Kidd simply wants to spend his twilight years living and going out in Manhattan. ...

He rounded up some New York celebs and generated some funds for his hometown of Slidell, Louisiana, which is still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Incidentally, I was watching UFC with some bros last night, and one of the fighters was from Slidell. I mentioned that that was also Chris Duhon's hometown, and got uniformly glared at. FML, I guess. ...

Woelfel: Knicks to offer Sessions MLE?
Brew Hoop — ... Twitter universe, is reporting that the Knicks are now the front-runners to pry Ramon Sessions away from the Bucks.  Woelfel writes that Donnie Walsh will first explore possible sign-and-trade offers for Sessions, but in case that doesn't get anywhere New York is prepared to use their $5.85 million MLE to sign Sessions to an offer sheet.  Unlike other suitors like the Clips or Thunder, the Knicks don't have anyone blocking Sessions from starting (sorry, Chris Duhon) so the fit makes sense. Woelfel doesn't mention the ...

Sessions/Lee sign-and-trade difficult, but not impossible
Brew Hoop — ... ($6.50 million) and Chris Duhon ($6.03 million)?  Again, their contracts are practically mirror images, as both guys have just one year left while providing backup-level production on the court.  From the Bucks' perspective, the deal now sends out 50% x $5 million + $6.75 million + $6.5 million = $15.75 million while taking back $7 million + $6.47 million + $6.03 million = $19.5 million.  Even though that's almost $4 million more going in than coming out, it works because they can take back as much as 125% x $15.75 + $100k = $19.79 ...

Williams Works Out Today
Posting and Toasting — ... If the Knicks get him for the one-year, veteran's minimum ($1.9 million) or biannual exception ($2.9 million), they likely are through with Robinson. But they are not looking for Williams to be razzle dazzle, just a steady, high-tempo point man lessening the burden on Chris Duhon. ...

Position Battle: Tussle For The Two-Spot
Posting and Toasting — ... Larry Hughes- If D'Antoni is more content than we thought, this should be the choice. Hughes brings active hands to the defensive end and passes well enough to help Chris Duhon run the offense. That said, we're all familiar with Larry's propensity to chuck. Even accounting for occasional streaks of accuracy, Hughes' eFG% of .460 puts him in the company of such virtuosos as ...

I also saw him nail 4 of 5 threes in practice. Nate Robinson- Nate is, as you'd expect, the most animated and energetic player on the floor. He talks to everybody, including teammates, refs, and himself. That said, I didn't get many notes on Nate's play. I'll key in on him next time around. Chris Duhon- Same deal.

Sixers 93, Knicks 85
Posting and Toasting — ... - I'm gonna pin some of those unnecessary threes on a lack of point guard presence. Chris Duhon brought the ball up whenever he was on the floor, but gave it away early and often. He'd try the pick-and-roll with Lee, get denied (kudos to the Sixers for that), then kick the ball to the perimeter and peace out for the rest of the play. If those threes fell, Du'd be looking at double-digit assists and maybe even a win. But they didn't, and it's on Chris to find another option. ...

David Lee and Wilson Chandler did an excellent job either heaving outlet passes or leading the break themselves, and Maccabi couldn't keep up. NBA squads are probably more equipped for the D'Antoni attack, but that's how I envision the Knicks stealing wins this year: swarming team defense, forced turnovers, and quick scores. - Maccabi played very aggressive halfcourt defense, so Chris Duhon and Nate Robinson deserve credit for still managing to ...

The problem is that New York's spacing is so horrendous that defenders have an easy time helping out and preventing the entry pass.

Toney continued his accurate shooting, canning pull-ups from either side, finishing near the rim, and draining a couple threes as well. His 23 points were an early career-high. He posted only 1 assist to 3 turnovers, which reflects both slightly rough point guard play from Toney and utter inability to finish from Toney's teammates. On the other end, Ghostface had a bit of trouble striking a ...
