Alright now.
Jason Kidd to the Knicks? Okay. I see this as a desperation/quasi-intelligent move (but only if they match the Rockets and keep Lin). Until the clumsy discovery of Jeremy Lin, the Knicks have been horrific at the point position (or the most important position on the court - OC for basketball). And for some odd reason or another, the Knicks bring in old point guards to fill in the void (Billups, Davis, and now Kidd).
How this could be bad: The Knicks might be overspending on a guy that is almost 40. Risks of injury are greater. Endurance is not a lock. And if Lin is not re-signed - who are they going to look count on if an injury does occur? Toney Douglass? Move Shumpert to point (side note: he is coming off knee surgery)? Eh.
How this could be good: Jeremy Lin is sometimes erratic and unpredictable. It would be irresponsible of me if I did not mention his inclination to frequently turn the ball over. Lin would be a great 28-30 minute per game point guard. This time frame allows him to be explosive, fresh, and effective. Jason Kidd would allow for the Knicks to keep good flow. Thus, Jason Kidd could be a good supplement for Lin and an even better mentor.
Moving on.
Marcus Camby is also apparently a hot commodity in the NBA right now. Both the Heat and the Knicks are stalking him and desiring his signature on a contract. Sure he would help with rebounding and defense. But then again, he is also old, virtually ineffective on offense, and not necessarily the answer.
Advice to Knicks: Get some young, raw talent. Groom these players. You are not going to win next year or even the year after. There are far superior teams in the east and those teams know how to actually run an offense (see Heat, Pacers, Celtics, Nets etc...). The offense dies when 'Melo touches the ball. Desperation moves with old guys is not the answer.
