Early results: Take 'Em or Trash 'Em

Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — So how do you see this Knicks' roster unfolding this summer? In the annual "Take 'Em or Trash 'Em" voting, Jason Kidd and Amar'e Stoudemire got the boot. Kidd didn't score in 208 straight minutes in the playoffs, and Stoudemire is due $21.68 million next season -- the highest on the team's payroll -- without even a guarantee from Mike Woodson that he'll start. However, fans stood behind J.R. Smith and Tyson Chandler, even though they were basically no-shows in the Pacers series.

Shumpert can be Knicks' second star

Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — Could Iman Shumpert be the elite, all-purpose guard who can complement Carmelo Anthony next season and beyond?

Even when Shumpert was missing shots in the postseason, he was making up for it consistently with his defense and rebounding -- something J.R. Smith was not doing regularly.
