Sheed Officially Signs With Knicks

Wallace seems to be going with a kind of homeless look, interesting. 
Most people have been saying that they don't know how they feel about this move, but I know how I feel...I love it!

Rasheed Wallace brings toughness and championship experience to what some may argue is an ancient roster. Wallace is currently 38 years old and if you combine that with Jason Kidd (39), Kurt Thomas (39), Marcus Camby (38) and Pablo Prigioni (35), they may have a point.

I don't se this as a negative thing as Kidd and Wallace bring in a "know how to win" factor and Camby is still a top tier interior defender and rebounder in the league. These veterans complimented by a wealth of younger talent in Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith, Ronnie Brewer, and Steve Novak make a stout contender in the Eastern Conference.

As long as everyone on the team invests in a win now attitude, which is way harder than it seems with all of these egos, the team will be successful. I think that Felton will help Anthony and Stoudemire coexist and make sure everyone gets their shots. Couple that with defensive prowlers Chandler, Camby, Shumpert, and Brewer. And finally add in some bench firepower with Novak and Smith who can get double digit points on any given night, and you have yourself a scary and deep team.

One Last Thing: Injuries will also be very key to the Knicks season this year. With Brewer and Shumpert already recovering from offseason surgeries, and Stoudmire with his shaky past with injuries, not to mention all of the older bodies, injuries can easily derail this season. Hopefully this doesn't happen and head coach Mike Woodson gets these guys to play how to their potential

PS: If Wallace, Chandler, and Stoudemire don't combine for 65 technicals this season, they might as well not even play.
