knicks add some defense: Ronnie Brewer

[htonpg]

Knicks just signed ronnie brewer..How much do you think he will help this team out?

[chazzy]

Good pickup. That was their hole with Shumpert hurt

[htonpg]

will he start ya think?

Felton/kidd
Brewer/JR
Melo/novak
Amare/thomas
Tyson/camby

How do you think the rotation will end up like?

[UtahJazzFan88]

Nice pick-up.

[shaq's--lakers]

Damn Shumpert and Ronnie Brewer Compo could be a scary, when Shumpert comes back

[longhornfan1234]

Wade is scared now.

[wally_world]

Solid pickup. They got a great bench and a bunch of solid roleplayers, i think its up to how Melo/Stat will gel that will determine their success next season.

[BlackVVaves]

Link?

can ronnie brewer give lebron trouble? like can he guard 3's well? or 2's better?

[Rnbizzle]

He's an awesome defender, I think he was probable our best perimeter defender last year along with Deng. He's a great energy player, moves well without the ball. The only thing is, he can't shoot.

He can and when Chicago played Miami he usually did get some minutes on him but Deng did most of the work on LBJ.

[DStebb716]

He'll be a good pickup at the two. The only thing left to do is maybe add a big to get some minutes at the four.

Felton/Kidd/Prigioni
Brewer/Smith/Kidd (Shump when he returns starts)
Melo/Novak
Amare/Novak/Thomas
Chandler/Camby/Thomas


There isn't a NEED to add a backup four, but it'd be nice because right now they don't have any real PFs beyond Amare, just a few guys that can play the position in small stretches. I think it'd be in the team's best interest to have Amare play less minutes. Keep him fresh at all times.

Can knicks contend with heat?

When shump comes back..him and brewer can make it hard for lebron and wade along with tyson help D and now camby...novak shooting, felton will have a good year and you still have melo and amare

[Xiao Yao You]

will he start ya think?

Felton/kidd
Brewer/JR
Melo/novak
Amare/thomas
Tyson/camby

How do you think the rotation will end up like?

Should start. Best wing defender. Best inside player! Could be a great fit with Carmelo and Amare on the perimeter.

Can knicks contend with heat?

No but they should be the hunt for a playoff birth!

[bluechox2]

shumpert/brewer defensive Juggernaut at the 2 j-kid can still play some D

so our backcourt is gonna be tight, just need amare to wake up

basically this offseason, we just added defensive players to surround no-defense melo/amare
