Best part was reading that a guy thats been retired for two years and was playing for UNC before Anthony Davis was born is only the 4th oldest player on the roster.

The Knicks would go 82-0 if they had the same roster ten years ago. Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Mike Bibby, Camby, Sheed... even Amare, Chandler and Melo were all over 18.

He looked rather cooked while he was in Boston, but keep in mind he's had 2 years off. If he's not terribly out of shape, I'm sure he can handle practicing and playing the occasional 10 minutes when the Knicks' frontline is all in foul trouble or an injury bug hits. You could do worse than bringing in a tough veteran presence for the minimum, especially considering he's just an extra body.

Agreed. He'll hit some 3's and defend low post players pretty well. Upgrade over Josh Harrelson.

Rasheed looked like toast 2 years ago.

Looks in about the same shape. I personally hope he does well in his role but...we shall see.

OT: Amare looks in really good shape

“I accept my Brian Scalabrine role. I’m cool with it.”

—Knicks big man Rasheed Wallace, who has played a very limited role so far this season, as reported by Jeff Zillgitt of the USA Today.
