As August draws to a close, the summer free agent market is starting to peak at its peak. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Mo Xi is far away in Washington, he can still learn about the latest movements of the Knicks. In the draft, the Knicks signed Arenas, which was an insurance for the point of point guard. But there is one point, to quote Angie's words, that is, the Knicks want to strengthen the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 positions, of course, according to Dolan's character, it is best to change the coach with him, but in fact, now Van Gundy is doing very well, although he stopped in the first round last season, but the previous two consecutive Eastern Conference championships are real.

The Knicks have always been a center, and this year is no different, Mo Xi became the starting center, and then there is a Knicks business card Patrick Ewing sitting behind him, plus Camby can be four or five, but in comparison, the other positions are not so satisfactory.

The No. 1 position has been a shortcoming in New York in recent seasons, and now that Mark Jackson is back in New York, in terms of ability, there is no problem with this shortcoming, but Mark Jackson is thirty-six years old, and Ward is not very young, the Knicks are full of experience here, but that is to say, they lack momentum, but fortunately, they signed Arenas under the flickering of Moxi, which just makes up for the shortcomings of the first two, the first two are the kind of team-type point guard, defense, organization, three-point, this is Ward, organization, defense, The three-point is Mark Jackson, and when it comes to Arenas, Murphy thinks it's a good summing up, attacking offense. Maybe Arenas has a bright future, but at least for now, the Knicks' point guard can only be considered qualified, far from impressive, and as a team aiming for a championship, it is barely qualified.

The No. 2 position was almost on the verge of replacing Ewing as the New York Knicks' point of attack before the rise of Moxi, and although Sprewell played the No. 3 position with the Knicks, he was still a No. 2 player. Houston is good at running and shooting, and his personal defensive ability is also very good, not to mention Sprewell, the Knicks' defensive knife is enough to block the top No. 2 players in the league, breakouts, selfless playmakers, and three-point shots with a good shooting percentage, it seems that the Knicks are so outstanding at the No. 2 position, but when Sprewell moves to the No. 3 position, you will find that the Knicks don't even have a reliable bench in the team, according to the Knicks' team building ideas, as a substituteEspecially in the number two position, you can't score, but you have to be able to defend. The Knicks have signed several guards in recent years are all on short-term contracts of one or two years, because Van Gundy feels a headache when he looks at their messy defense, and the Knicks lack a qualified and reliable substitute in the second position, but in fact, Mo Xi privately feels that he can use Arenas as the second substitute, but not for defense, but for offense, Arenas, who grew up on the streets of Los Angeles, may be praised by the black hole.

The No. 3 position is where Mo Xi can't help but complain, because the two strongest Knicks in this place are Sprewell, who should have played the No. 2 position, and the other is Larry Johnson, the original starting power forward, who is now transformed by Van Gundy to play small forward. Originally, Mo Xi felt that Johnson Wallace, who was previously a substitute, was quite good, but the arrogant New Yorkers didn't even plan to renew his contract, and directly transferred it to Toronto, and the Knicks even signed Glenn Rice last season, but his arrival also led to the Knicks' ball distribution was not good, and after the first round was out, the Knicks no longer planned to renew the contract, in other words, the current Knicks No. 3 position, even lack a real No. 3 player, and the key thing is that there is no substitute.

As for the Knicks' No. 4 position, which has been performing well, it is actually full of hidden dangers, the first point is Camby's fragile glass body, he can play half of the games in a season, thank God, more often, this position is still supported by Kurt Thomas and Larry Johnson, and after Chris Dudley left, the Knicks' interior line is not good.

Suddenly, Mo Xi found that the Knicks really should be strengthened in all positions, and the most worrying part of the New Yorkers was exposed in the playoffs last season, the Knicks' starters were not strong enough, and the bench was only those interior lines.

In the midst of his fervent anticipation, the Knicks began their first reinforcement program.

They signed back the Knicks' former veteran Charles Oakley, who is now 39, in an effort to prevent a shortage of personnel on the interior following Camby's injury. For this signing, everyone in the Knicks has a supportive attitude, you must know that last season, Charles was able to average 9 rebounds per game, and in the first round of the playoffs, he teamed up with Chris Charles to take revenge on his old club, coupled with Oakley's tough style of play, everyone in the Knicks is very satisfied with this signing, even Thomas and Camby, who will be squeezed out of playing time, dare not have any complaints, this is a real locker room big brother.

But then the Knicks' operation came to an impasse. wants to get Jamal Marshburn, but is reluctant to Sprewell, wants to find a good role player, and finds that the best role player is in the Lakers, looking at the entire free agent market, the Knicks are not afraid of spending money, but Van Gundy is worried that the Knicks are useless to spend money and buy the wrong person.

The scheming Knicks finally found a satisfactory substitute, Clarence Witherpombo, a player who can reach 18+10 at the peak of his career, is also thirty-one years old this year, and he started the game in the Cavaliers last season, and he can still cut 10+10 data, Van Gundy feels that it is more than enough for him to serve as the Knicks' bench No. 3. After reinforcing a few key points, the Knicks made some small signings, and the lineup for the beginning of next season has basically been decided, but Mo Xi looked at this piece of news, but frowned, this lineup is really the oldest Mo Xi has ever seen.

Several major rotation players, Ewing is thirty-nine years old, Alan Houston is also thirty years old, Sprewell is thirty-one years old, Thomas is twenty-nine years old, Larry Johnson is thirty-two years old, plus the thirty-six-year-old Mark Jackson mentioned earlier, the thirty-one-year-old Wither Pombo, the thirty-one-year-old Ward, plus the few signed bench players are also around thirty years old, and the youngest of the entire Knicks is actually twenty-four-year-old Moxi, twenty-seven-year-old Camby and Arenas, who has just joined the nineteen-year-old. However, the Knicks are only these three young people, and many other media have found that the Knicks' current team age structure is abnormal, this is the structure of a nursing home, and after this season, many of them may even choose to retire.

Mo Xi scratched his head, in this way, to win the championship, do you have to be like O'Neal, cut 40+20, it's not good, even the playoffs are hanging.

Again, in places that Mo Xi didn't notice, a few teams that weren't so eye-catching made their last few additions.
