09:17 AM ET 02.18 | They will all be coming soon, one impact player after another, certain to transform Linsanity into Linstability. J.R. Smith, the run-and-gunner. Carmelo Anthony, the chucker. Baron Davis, renowned thief of playing minutes. Things will change in a hurry, and then we'll discover whether Jeremy Lin and Mike D'Antoni can control the uncontrollable. "It's gonna take a little while," D'Antoni was saying Friday, when the Knicks fell at the Garden to lowly New Orleans, 89-85, in an unpleasant surprise. "We'll see how it goes. If everybody keeps playing well, we'll still be good. We're adding guys who are really good. I'd be crazy if I didn't use "em" There's a wide range of possible outcomes."

The Knicks have a long history of taking "impact" players and making them "non-impact" players.
I remember Ro Blackman and his 18 points a game coming over from Dallas in the early 90's and becoming a 10 pt guy...
And Smith + Davis aren't as good as Ro was...
D'Antoni needs to find what works and roll with it - and not get caught up in having Lin featured and taking 20 shots.

Lin is a true point guard so Anthony and Smith just mean more assist. It's how those guys effect the other players, is the real question.

I sure am. This is the first interest I've had in the Knicks since the turn of the century. They just haven't generated anything positive in that long.

I have a better question, " Can Jeremy Lin stop turning the ball over at an alarming rate?".........I don't think so

He can, and he will...he is aware that its a problem and will continue to work on it and improve. Thats what he has done since coming to the NBA...improve, and I don't think he is finished getting better. Keep in mind he has had very little playing time up until the last few weeks and he has blown some minds in recent game exposure. He is an extremely smart guy and will hone his skills. I met him when he was with the Warriors and got a chance to talk with him a bit...I'm pretty sure that with only his minimum salary he had more money in the bank a the end of the year than Monte or Steph did with their big money deals. You could just tell that he knew what to do with it to make it grow as opposed to squandering it on a "posse". Time will tell...
