    Re: The 2012 New York Knicks: The Filler Year?

    We should applaud Chandler and the Knicks for bringing in Hakeem rather than looking at what Chandler may or may not develop into. They're investing time into developing their big men which is more than I've ever heard from this team ever.

    Do we just stick with the protocol and let Herb Williams add absolutely. Oohing to their game? Or do we bring in probably the best big man with the best footwork ever to hopefully help them out?

    I don't want to see Chandler cleared out with his back to the basket. If however he does wind up with an offensive rebound and he's 5 feet from the basket...it would be nice to see his 7 foot frame do something besides tapping it out.

    The Knicks are working together and it's September. No one should find fault in this.

        I'm not saying its bad; I'm saying we shouldn't expect much of anything from Chandler besides maybe some better decisions under the basket.

        Dream will teach him but I feel at times fans think because Hakeem is involved, guys are gonna have dream shakes and Jump shots.

        It was evident when the first thing ESPN asked was to see Stoudemire show them a shake move.

            I actually think Chandler has the touch to do some of those moves effectively. He has an amazing touch around the basket. One of the better big men in the league at finishing when he does get the ball around the hoop.

                If Hakeem is working on those things then yes I see the benefit.

                I should assume Hakeem knows that already.

                    Mind you..the other participant in the Dream Camp with Amare was Javale McGee.

                    If he can get instruction..then Chandler should be a no-brainier (pun very intended).

                        Knicks should never, EVER wear green. I friggin' HATE those unis!
