Re: Rumor: Pietrus to Miami

I actually see Ellis as a young Baron Davis. He probably won't be as good, but I see him as a very similar player.
How good a playmaker was Baron at that age? (genuine question)

Ellis might be less of a disher, but he's still very valuable as a scorer off the bench.

I don't think they could get Artest and still have a competitive team (they'd have to give up too much, I think)
I say keep the team pretty much as it is (maybe deal Pietrus and resign Barnes, but no major moves..) and keep going. The playoff experience will be good for their young guys.
I think getting hold of some kind of young passing SF in this year's draft (or by trading Pietrus) would be a good move for the future. A Boris Diaw type guy rather than a Jerry Stackhouse type guy. Their team has plenty of scorers, and I realise that's their game, but a glue-guy would be better at this point than a scorer imo.

How well is the Knicks Starters vs NBA Team Starters? 60%? 50%? 40%? or are we waiting to see by being optimistic because we have a new additional player in the Starting lineup that we assume Stat sheet record says he is better with this Knick roster than the guy he is replacing?
