Knicks May Throw More Names In Melo Deal




via NYPost.com



Rookie guard Andy Rautins and Kelenna Azubuike's expiring contract have been discussed as parts of the Carmelo Anthony three-team package, The Post has learned.
The Knicks have to add more pieces to the reported three-team trade proposal for Anthony to make it work from a talent and financial perspective for the Nuggets, according to NBA sources.

Knicks president Donnie Walsh, who almost never admits he is engaged in serious talks, yesterday acknowledged discussions about Anthony were at least taking shape.

"I don't think we have anything going, but we're getting a feeling for possibilities," Walsh said before the Knicks beat the Sixers, 117-103. "We have a better feeling for what's going to happen."
In Donniespeak, that means things have progressed, with the trade deadline still a very long 19 days away.

"If you get something that will help your team, then you get excited," Walsh said. "It hasn't come to the point I'm excited."

"I don't feel good or bad," Walsh added. "These things take two to tango. But we're out there looking and seeing if we can do something. Some of it is not real big -- trying to fill in the blanks within our own team."

Fields has edge over Rautins for Knicks' last spot


via NYPost.com

Rookies Landry Fields and Andy Rautins, selected back-to-back in the second round last June at Nos. 38 and 39, have become very tight, hanging together like glue during the Milan-Paris trip.

Unfortunately, they may also be fighting for the Knicks' last rotation spot.

If that's the case, it was won last night by Fields, who nailed a line-drive 20-footer to tie the score at 90 with 26 seconds left. That set up Toney Douglas to win it with two free throws after he got fouled off a pretty backdoor pass from Ronny Turiaf, as the Knicks downed the Wizards 92-90 at the Garden.

Fields, wearing No. 6 -- the number some Knicks fans thought would be worn by LeBron James -- finished the night 3 of 3 for seven points with four rebounds in 19 minutes. He's Mr. Hustle and is looking like the smartest pick of the second round, even if he's still not a polished jump-shooter.

"Landry just comes in and does everything good," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. "Defensively, he runs the floor, rebounds and I'll think he'll get more confidence in his shot. He's athletic and smart."

Landry Fields, Roger Mason Jr., Timofey Mozgov, Andy Rautins, Ronny Turiaf and Patrick Ewing Jr. were on hand to cheer on the New York Rangers as they fell 3-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs at MSG.

"I am so excited for this game to start," said Fields during the pre-game ceremony. "This is my first hockey game so I am excited to see what it is all about. And this atmosphere, it gets me so pumped for our opener. The fans here in New York, they love all their sports teams that are here in the city. So you really can't ask for anything better."

Fellow rookie Rautins echoed those sentiments.

"You look at the fans that were here well before the game started. It's lively in here, and its incredible," he said. "You can tell that New York has the best fan base in the country and I think we are going to get the same thing on our opening night."

New York Knicks' Andy Rautins Ready To Prove Doubters Wrong in Rookie Season



via bleacherreport.com

From the moment he was drafted, there have been questions surrounding New York Knicks rookie Andy Rautins.
Having not been on many experts’ NBA draft boards, there were even doubts that Rautins had an NBA future ahead of him at all. An underwhelming summer league session, in which he shot 4-for-14 from behind the arc, did not help his cause.
Nevertheless, the (usually) sharp-shooting marksman from Syracuse entered Knicks training camp last week with a positive attitude and a seemingly clean slate.
The Knicks obviously have faith in the local product, after making him and Stanford wing Landry Fields arguably the most talked about (and surprising) draft selections of all.
Despite not performing up to expectations in summer league, Rautins signed his contract with the team shortly after. With 16 players on the roster (the only position battle appears to be between Patrick Ewing Jr. and Shawne Williams, two training camp invitees), he appears a lock to make the cut.
Rautins has been impressive running the break during training camp. Although normally paired up with second-year point guard Toney Douglas on the practice squad, it is Rautins whom often handles the ball.
Showing great first instincts, Rautins can be seen darting passes around the horn to his open teammates if not pulling up for a shot from long range.
Although he’s known for his three-point shooting, Rautins made it clear he’s a multi-faceted player. “Many people know about my ability to shoot the basketball," said Rautins. "I think what’s going to separate me from other guys, though, is my ability to push the ball in transition. I’m able to spread the ball on offense. I can do a lot more than people think I can.”
He certainly knows what it will take to set him apart. On the Knicks (and the NBA in general), a fine shooting touch is becoming a dime a dozen. While honing that skill never hurts, it will be his playmaking abilities and defense that help Rautins break out.
At 6'5", Rautins would stand tall as a point guard, be able to shoot over smaller guards, and use his strong frame to harass them on defense. Often noted as a "combo-guard," Rautins took over full point-guard duty last season as a senior. Assuming the role of team leader, he finished with averages of 12 points, nearly five assists, and two steals.
In fact, he feels as though his time at Syracuse will make him more comfortable with the Knicks.
“Definitely,” Rautins said with enthusiasm. “D’Antoni’s the type of guy that likes to run up and down the court. That’s the type of system we had at Syracuse, so I’m pretty familiar with it. For a guy like me, that likes to shoot the ball and can do so with range, I think it’s going to be a good fit.”
Citing Raymond Felton and Roger Mason, Jr. as early positives influences, Rautins has been taking notes and working hard throughout camp.
