Oldest bench in NBA history.

Kurt Thomas 40
Jason Kidd 39
Marcus Camby 38
Rasheed Wallace 38

What's the reason behind this? Surely the Knicks could find younger, more better players. Neither player besides Camby and possibly Kidd will have any impact on games. And Kidd will get roasted on the defensive end. What are the Knicks doing?!

[coin24]

Knicks will finish top4 in the East... Book it....:cheers:

That is because besides the Heat, the East sucks.

Boston should be pretty decent aswell... But yeah apart from the Knicks the rest of the east is complete shit...

Big gap between them and Nets, Sixers, Bulls?

Then the rest of the shitty East teams...

You have to be f*cking kidding me right? Right!?

The same response I provided in the Knicks forum.

Who are these younger players that are good that we passed up on? I know people like "youth" but that doesn't mean they will contribute any more than the veterans we acquired. If they were "good" young players then they would never even hit Free Agency and be looking for 1 year deals. We're talking about younger players with marginal talent but unproven that they can provide any role for a team.

Do you pass up on 38 year old Jason Kidd for 23 year old Jonny Flynn? He's younger, faster, & more athletic. But what does he do well? If anyone knew then he wouldn't be passed on by all 30 NBA teams at the moment.

Let's talk big men. I will take old Camby, Sheed, & Thomas over Sean Williams, DJ White, & Solomon Jones. Younger players but what is 1 thing any of them bring to a team in-game? Nothing. Same example as Jonny Flynn.

I'd rather have bench guys who I know what they can do.

What can Camby do? Grab boards, block shots, & manage the paint.
What can Sheed do? High basketball IQ on both ends & stretch the floor.
What can Kurt do? High basketball IQ, fills in if needed and makes the smart play.

[Rowe]

No more than 12 minutes per game backing up Amare.

I'd love to have him on the Knicks.

I hate retards and you're a retard. This forum is infested with them. You say the east sucks but have you ****ing given more then one minute of thought into the east standings? Clearly not. This year the east is the best it's been in decades. You have 5-6 teams guaranteed to win 50 games ( heat, celtics, pacers, nets, Knicks, and the sixers. Even if some of these teams don't win 50 games I can't see any playoff team in the east with a losing record. There will actually be 2-4 teams in the east fighting for HCA. With all of that said it shocks me how even a retard can say the east "sucks"

Because I am looking at the history. And this year will be no different. The East has 1 great team in the Heat. The others? Put them in the West and they wouldn't even get HCA. And it will be that way again this year.

And I imagine the West will have more 50 win teams than the East. The East always looks good on paper but wait til they play the games. And the New York teams won't crack 50... Philly is not going to crack 50. Indy might, and Boston might....

That isn't a great conference. It is another year in which the Heat don't have to go through ANYONE to get to the Finals. While the West have to slug it out just to play the Heat in the Finals.

[It's A VC3!!!]

While the West have to slug it out just to play the Heat in the Finals.
Not true. OKC breezed through the west last year. Swept Dallas. Beat LAL 4-1 and back door swept the spurs. We will likely see the same thing.

And the heat had the more difficult road. Almost going to 7 with Indiana and going to 7 with Boston and almost losing. So again I am missing your point. You're saying Miami has nobody to go through and OKC or any west team does. Clearly you're wrong.

I like Kidd and Camby acquisitions. But I think Sheed is done,I don't want him here. Give a roster spot to someone who can contribute like Amundson,Birdman or K-Mart.

[TheMarkMadsen]

I thought he signed with the lakers last year? What ever happened to that?

[wally_world]

Well i guess








































They have a Need for Sheed

The Celtics are just as good as any western team, and quite frankly just as good as the Heat as well.

Hey, maybe if you say it enough times, it'll come true!!!

The evidence supports it. There is very little seperation between Celtics, Heat, Lakers, Spurs, and Thunder. Only dorks and trolls are creating false seperation.

Well he is the perfect compliment to Carmelo and chandler. It's just that it's Rasheed from 10 years ago the Knicks need. If he has anything left he will actually fit perfect- all the wide open 3's he wants w Carmelo

They would still win the Euroleague without any problems. They would probably go undefeated and win most of the games by 20+ points.

No way in hell could the Knicks make the Euroleague Final Four. They probably could make the Last 8, but that's it.

They would definitely lose to any of the top Euroleague teams in the 5 game playoff stage.

Bobcats would not even make it past the first stage of Euroleague. They would go like 2-8 in the regular season and then be eliminated.

Rasheed will still be a post defender. I would have serious concerns about his conditioning though, he was out of shape in his last season with us.

Even you know I'm right. It will be easier for you if you just admit it. Euroleague is trash. Somewhere around WNBA's level.

You have never in your entire life seen a single Euroleague game.

I have, - you can immediately tell they are a struggling league desperate for exposure and attention with their "sponsored" jerseys and, brightly painted courts - rosters regularly bend over backwards to obtain recycled NBA bench talent to put some better known names on the teams :oldlol:

And none of it seems to work because the arena's (some of which look like a High School gymnasium) are almost always empty. I have no idea how that league is even alive.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

Is this euroleague troll serious? :roll:

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

Bobcats would not even make it past the first stage of Euroleague. They would go like 2-8 in the regular season and then be eliminated.

Knicks would win every single game by over 15-20 points.

The bobcats would murder the top team in europe easy. Kemba, Ben Gordon and Kidd-Gilchrist would destroy those bums :facepalm

Everything you said is the official policy of the NBA also.

And no high school gyms are allowed in Euroleague. They have strict arena rules. You obviously have no ****ing clue as to what the Euroleague even is.

The Bobcats in all honest would be lucky to not go 0-10.

The Knicks would have ZERO chance at making the final four.

YOU are a TOTALLY pyschotic RACIST if you believe that. Anthony Parker NEVER played in the Euroleague he only played on a 3rd tier FIBA Eurocup Greek team and was 3rd string backup bench warmer AT BEST. ANYONE WHO BELIEVES OTHERWISE IS A PSYCHOTIC RACIST IN DENIAL.

[ballup]

I doubt he will play 10 min a game let alone pass the physical. If the Knicks get good position in the playoffs, he might be useful.

A while back Keith Langolois tweeted that Sheed was playing with the Piston's rookies and looked to be in great shape.

He was also careful to mention that there was no comeback talk, apparently none with the Piston's anyways. I love Sheed, but hate the Knicks. Sheed deserves to go to a decent team. He would be better backing up Bynum in Philly or something.

[ihoopallday]

Looks like the Knicks will lead the NBA in technicals.

knicks signed Mychal Thompson instead

So this thread that started out with Knicks fans thinking signing 90 year old Sheed will help their team :lol ... has devolved into trolling about Euroleague. Classic ISH ... I love it ! :bowdown:

BTW 38 year old Sheed would be Euroleague MVP if he played over there this year. :cheers:
