As I had hoped, Pablo Prigioni was traded to a contender. This shows a lot of class on the Knicks part.
Incoming are two future second round picks and Alexey Shved a tall, thus far enigmatic PG whose contract expires at season's end.
Two options are available for the Knicks, buy him out now or give him a showcase to see if his game works better in the Triangle offense.

Important as this lead guard position is, Galloway is the player who I think the Knicks will turn the keys over to next year. Between him, Calderon, and whoever wins the third spot the Knicks are in fairly good shape.
Assuming Melo is the predominant PF (and not SF) candidate and that Jason Smith has shown enough to be the first off-the-bench there and Lance Thomas has earned a hard consideration to stick as well.
AT SF, I think we're all anticipating that Early and Tenacious will claim at least a high minute role there. Acey and Wear look to be unlikely return candidates.
IMO, THJ gets moved during the summer - probably on draft evening. Two guard is where the Knicks may spend some cash. Look for Jimmy Butler, Wes Matthews, and others to garner interest.
Amundson and Aldrich are both likely to stick next year as off-the-bench center candidates. Draft night will determine who joins them.

Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.

I'd like to give Shved a look. It's not like we have a clear starting point guard.
I think Schved will be given an opportunity for sure. I don't think this trade was made with Schved as a mere throw-in, Phil likes his guards long and it's an inexpensive way to refill a bench guard position.
