[hoopchina] 尼克斯有意追逐公牛後衛Chris Duhon 更換了總經理和主教練的尼克斯的當務之急是尋找合適的控球後衛。 據稱他們目前將公牛的控衛杜洪(Chris Duhon)作為自由球員市場上的首選目標。 總經理沃爾什(Donnie Walsh)和主教練丹東尼(Mike D'Antoni)預計會在週二同成 為非限制自由球員的杜洪會面。杜洪的經紀人 Kevin Bradbury 並未對此消息作出 正面回答，不過他表示：“若是在丹東尼這樣的教練的進攻體系下打球，克裏斯的 表現會較之以往有一個大的飛躍。現在我們還不知道情況會如何，不過尼克斯會是 我們考慮的物件之一。克裏斯只有25歲，所以他還有很多進步的空間。” [外電] Knicks' PG pursuit will start with Duhon The Knicks are heading into a pivotal 2008-09 season with a new general manager and coach, and what they need more than anything is a reliable, efficient point guard. That's evident in their free-agent plans. Word is that, when the NBA free-agent season opens tomorrow morning, the Knicks will reveal their top target: Bulls point guard Chris Duhon, an unrestricted free agent. New York GM Donnie Walsh and coach Mike D'Antoni are expected to meet with Duhon early on Tuesday, when NBA teams are free to contact and woo available players. Duhon's agent, Kevin Bradbury, could not concretely confirm the Knicks' interest. He did say, "Chris' all-around game could blossom under an offensive coach like Mike D'Antoni. No one knows what will happen at this point, and who knows where things will end up, but the Knicks are a team we would hope would be genuinely interested. Chris is only 25, so he has room to grow." Ultimately, what D'Antoni will need in his uptempo system is a point guard who can advance the ball and get it to scorers. The Knicks, stuck with the likes of score-first guards Stephon Marbury, Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawford, are desperate for a point guard who will look to pass first. That, along with defense, has been Duhon's calling card in four NBA seasons. Despite averaging just 25.8 minutes in his career with the Bulls, Duhon has put up 4.5 assists against 1.4 turnovers, and nearly a steal per game. If the Knicks sign Duhon, it will be another signal of what has become obvious in New York: The Knicks will seek a buyout or outright release for Marbury, who doesn't seem to have a place in D'Antoni's offense. Duhon has never been a 35-minute-per-night player, and it's unknown whether he can handle the workload. But the Knicks seem willing to explore that question. "He has shown the ability to distribute the ball, but he can also shoot from the perimeter," Bradbury said. "He hasn't always been allowed to do that. His defense, of course, everybody knows about. That's unquestioned." Not unquestioned is the list of other targets who might interest New York. The Knicks, eager to protect their 2010 cap space in an effort to land would-be free agent LeBron James, might hesitate to offer a contract that lasts longer than two years, and other teams might be willing to give Duhon more security. A sign-and-trade with Chicago is a possibility -- general manager John Paxson has sought out Knicks forward David Lee in the past -- but the Bulls would have to be willing to take on some salary add-ins to make a scenario like that work. With restricted free agents Luol Deng and Ben Gordon still on the docket, the Bulls might be unwilling to take the Knicks' salary-cap junk. The Knicks are expected to explore other free-agent point guard options, such as New York native Sebastian Telfair and Sacramento guard Beno Udrih. They also could explore trade options such as Portland's Steve Blake and Memphis' Kyle Lowry. But their pursuit of a point guard will begin with Duhon. 簡單來說 尼克目前看上了分球能力不錯的Chris Duhon 他的數據： http://www.nba.com/playerfile/chris_duhon/career_stats.html 生涯平均上場時間僅為25.8分鐘 還沒嘗試上場35分鐘... 而且才25歲 顯然仍有成長的空間 因此 尼克想拿他來當主力的先發控衛 如果簽他 後場將人滿為患 所以...小馬危險啦...很有可能被買斷... --
