While he has never been accused of being a follower, he is bucking a league wide trend in acquiring Zach Randolph. Most teams are moving toward more versatile and more athletic teams, trying to get up and down the court finding easier shots, and also pleasing the fans with the high energy offense. GM Thomas has gone the other way. He has gotten bulkier, slower, and also more powerful, and will depend on a aging point guard to orchestrate the few breaks that are likely to come. There is no question the Knicks will be perhaps the most dangerous team in the paint. However,there is also no question that the 4 and 5 will be among the slowest and poorest to defend the quicker front courts. This is the year we find out if Thomas is as smart as he says he is, or that he is not so bright in assembling a team. Get ready for the bad boyz II.
