i wish i could share ur optimism rubeskies, i know the east is fairly weak even with the improved teams, but i don't see 8th seed in our reach this year...

that being said, i'm still looking forward to this season and it's one more season closer to when the knicks can get more cap room to make significant moves

They're no Pheonix Suns but when is the last time you looked at the Knicks roster and said, wow, these guys are gonna compete? 2001? Plus they have a bunch of really athletic and skilled front court guys.

"Starbury" killed the Suns when he played for them and he's killed the Knicks. He's the most over-rated bad player in the league. I'm sure it will really entertaining to watch him jack up bad jumpers at a 41% rate. He was 43/51 in shooting percentage last year by qualified guards. He's not much of a passer, 15th in assists, and 35th (!) in assists to turnover ratio among league guards.

Over-rated and a team killer.

I think it's conceivable the Knicks could make the playoffs, but I think it's less likely they'll be entertaining or fun.

Most 7th or 8th playoff teams are pretty frustrating to watch.

Obviously Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and probably Toronto are out of the Knicks league.

Boston Probably will be but it's hard to judge a completely new team.

But I think the Knicks can certainly compete with Charlotte, New Jersey and Washington. I wouldn't say they were even money with these teams but it's close enough for me to actually pay attention this season.

The Knicks would probably make the playoffs if they started and played their two best players (Lee and Balkman) tons of minutes.

I sort of agree, especially with Lee (he led the league in Berri's Wins Produced Per 48 which is damn impressive), but people often fail to realize that Lee and Balkman wouldn't be as efficient if they played bigger minutes.
