Knicks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:02:29 PDT

The Knicks were unable to take advantage of the point guard depth in the NBA draft to fill their long-term needs at that critical position, but they did address another area of need: size and athleticism.

Jordan Hill is a perfect big for Mike D'Antoni's system because of his length, athleticism and, most important, his ability to play the pick-and-roll and knock down the mid-range jumper with a soft touch. He doesn't immediately bring the wow factor that a Stephen Curry or Ricky Rubio might have delivered on draft night, but Hill is viewed as a valuable piece of this rebuilding process that is well under way.

Donnie Walsh added more size with the acquisition of 7-1 center Darko Milicic, who came to the Knicks from Memphis in exchange for Quentin Richardson, whose...

Some big names will be out there. The big spenders will be harder to find. Free agency opens in the NBA on Wednesday, but there should be few fireworks this July. The blockbuster trades were last week, and the real free agent bonanza is next year. Financial difficulties, combined with the potential of one of the best classes ever in 2010, will have most teams keeping their check books closed this...
