He's not exactly in a position where he can be choosy. If he wanted to hoop this year, he had to take the offer there. If there were other teams interested, they weren't making it known from what I've read.

The Knicks are attempting to acquire either Chris Paul, Dwight Howard or Deron Williams to join the tandem of Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire to create a Big 3 of their own that would rival the Heat. The odds of acquiring a third maximum salaried player are long and Howard Beck of the New York Times isn't sure the front office has an alternative plan. "At the moment, it appears to be three-max-players-or-bust," writes Beck. "I don’t get the sense that the Knicks have a Plan B. But they could use that $13 million of cap room next summer in a lot of other ways." Read more: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap...#ixzz1ftxk4JX4

Well I mean, what would Howard Beck like them to do? As long as they have a chance at one of those 3, they aren't going to sign any long term contracts now. It's a little early to be planning backup plans for next offseason. Right now it's a waiting game.

If they can't imagine a non big 3 plan than I will already right off the Knicks chances of putting a good enough team around Melo and STAT to win a title. If only those players were in the hands of a competent front office...

uh no, I don't think there is ever such a thing as having back up plan come back to bite you. It is called foresight and preparing for alternatives imo.

Oh, I agree with you. I think he has something to offer, especially at that price. It just doesn't seem like anyone wants him. That's how he ended up in Detroit.

I find it hard to believe that the Knicks are looking to acquire any of those players in a trade. We'd being hearing at least something about it. And we've heard nothing. So I take that "blurb" with a grain of salt.

Seems like another over-zealous NY journalist speculating.
