KNL: Knicks Night Live Recap

Last night on Knicks Night Live, Mike D'Antoni said via phone interview that he doesn't particularly care that Eddy Curry skipped out on Vegas workouts for the third straight summer as long as he comes to camp in shape this September.

I also found it interesting that Danilo said, "anybody who does not consider me a good player, is stupid." Seems to be slightly edgy this off season. The report on him is that he has been working on improving specific aspects of his game in Italy. Such as explosiveness, court awareness and his overall strength. Personally I've always wanted him to work on a back to the basket game. with his size and shot making ability, that would make him a prolific scorer in the league. Danilo is supposed to return to New York in mid-August. Also on the show, Alan Hahn, Knicks beat writer from Newsday, predicted his starting line up based on the current roster. It looked like this: Felton PG Azubuike SG Gallinari SF Soudemire PF Turiaf C Not sure if I agree with that totally, not that i don't like those five starting together, I am just not sure coach is sold on the idea of bringing Chandler off the bench. Hahn also brought up the notion that Eddy Curry still may contribute and in fact, start for the Knicks. I will believe it when i see it but as of now, I expect nothing from Curry. As for coach D'Antoni, he is currently in Vegas, working out with the team USA candidates.
