Woodson: 'Wonderful season' for Knicks

Knicks Blog | ESPN New YorkIman Shumpert called the Knicks' season a failure earlier this week. Head coach Mike Woodson disagrees. He offered a very different definition of the Knicks' season on Tuesday. "Based on where we started and how we assembled our team, this was to me a wonderful season," Woodson said. "It was a major step in the right direction, to win our division, to secure the second seed, when people didn't think we could do none of those things. "Some of our goals were met, so all wasn't bad.

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.

Lawrence: Cap has Knicks Chris-crossed for lone star Melo

New York Daily News — The search for the No. 2 star to pair with Carmelo Anthony is not leading the Knicks to Los Angeles, as much as Chris Paul would be Anthony’s perfect wing man. Instead of landing a star talent like Paul, a free agent this summer who once toasted an Anthony-Paul-Amar’e Stoudemire alliance at the Garden, the Knicks will have to set their sights considerably lower.
