<p>The New York Knicks are <a href="http://host.madison.com/sports/basketball/article_98a42dc4-0329-586a-8ef0-f763ac1b9702.html" target="new">going about their business in Paris</a> despite a travel alert that has been issued by the U.S. government in response to threats of terrorist action.</p>
<blockquote>The New York Knicks practiced Monday for the second game of their preseason tour, with Amare Stoudemire promising to have fun in Paris despite warnings of a possible terrorist attack in Europe. <br><br>The Knicks play the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. They defeated Olimpia Milano 125-113 in Milan on Sunday behind Amare Stoudemire's 32 points.<br><br> "We know where to go and the places to visit and again, you have to cherish the moment because it's not often you get a chance to play an NBA game in Paris," said Stoudemire, who joined the Knicks from the Phoenix Suns this summer. "So we got to make sure we enjoy it and have fun." <br><br>The U.S. government issued a travel alert Sunday, urging Americans to be vigilant in public places, tourist spots and transportation hubs.</blockquote>

<p>Donnie Walsh knows who should be running the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">New York Knicks</a> basketball operation if he isn’t. And it’s not <strong>Isiah Thomas</strong>.</p>
<p>Former St. John’s and <span class="caps">NBA</span> star Chris Mullin <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/knicks/2010/10/walsh-confirms-mullin-would-be.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nydnrss%2Fblogs%2Fknicks+%28Blogs%2FKnicks+Knation%29" target="new">is his choice</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If I could hire anybody Chris would be the guy," Walsh told The News. “That’s who I want.”</p>
<p>There are no immediate plans for the club to add to their front office. In the past, Garden Chairman James Dolan has been reluctant to sign off on Walsh hiring Mullin. One theory is that Dolan’s next executive hire will be naming Isiah Thomas as consultant, a position Thomas held for one week in last August.</p>
<p>The other theory is that Dolan doesn’t feel the need to add another executive with Glen Grunwald and John Gabriel already on the staff.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Mullin was <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/knicksblog/mullin_likes_look_of_knicks_amFjPEOzcpffjz90lgHEfL" target="new">non-committal when asked about the Knicks</a>, though he did compliment the work Walsh has done in revamping the team.</p>
<p>Somehow, a New York guy like Mullin seems like the right fit to try and return the Knicks to the top of the <span class="caps">NBA</span>.</p>

<p>It looks like <span>Eddy Curry</span> might end his <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">New York Knicks</a> career with a limp, <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/basketball/nba/09/27/curry.out.ap/index.html?xid=si_nba" target="new">hobbling away with a hamstring injury</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The oft-injured center will miss at least four weeks with a strained right hamstring, the third straight year he was sidelined early in training camp.</p>
<p>“You hate it. He just can’t get over the hump,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said Monday.</p>
<p>Curry was hurt during practice Sunday and had an <span class="caps">MRI</span> exam Monday that confirmed the injury. The Knicks said recovery time is a minimum four to six weeks and that Curry is not expected to travel with the team on its trip to Europe for exhibition games in Italy and Paris.</p>
<p>Curry was hospitalized with an illness on the eve of training camp two years ago and tore a calf muscle on the opening day of practices last season. He never recovered to regain a spot in the rotation, playing in just 10 games over those two seasons.</p>
<p>D’Antoni refused to write Curry off yet, but the center who hovers around 300 pounds has never been a natural fit in the coach’s offensive system and was probably already way down the depth chart. Curry is in the final year of his contract and is unlikely to return next season – and the Knicks would likely trade him before then if a team was interested in his $11.3 million expiring contract.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Curry played in just 10 total games the past two seasons for the Knicks.</p>

<p>Coach Mike D’Antoni today named <strong><span>Amare Stoudemire</span></strong> and <strong><span>Raymond Felton</span> </strong>as co-captains.</p>
<p>Stoudemire gave a speech to the team during the dinner. "It means a lot,‘’ Stoudemire said after today’s practice. "But we all most lead. I told them how important it is for everyone to accept a leadership role and how important it is to maintain health, nutrition, weight room, taking care of your body and cardio.’’</p>
<p>D’Antoni did not have a captain in his first season. Last year, he quietly named <span>David Lee</span> and <span>Chris Duhon</span> in midseason.</p>

<p>If you watched the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">Knicks</a> last year, you're going to have some trouble recognizing this year's squad. With most of last season's team expiring this summer, the Knicks went out and bought themselves an <b>Amar'e Stoudemire</b>. With a newfound glut at power forward and LeBron headed to Miami, the Knicks went ahead and signed-and-traded <span>David Lee</span> to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/">Warriors</a> for the burly, beardy <span>Ronny Turiaf</span>, the young and electric <span>Anthony Randolph</span>, and the sharp but hobbled Kelenna Azubuike. With the remaining cap space, the Knicks filled their hole at point guard with <span>Raymond Felton</span>, bolstered the center position with Russian import <span>Timofey Mozgov</span>, and added a shooter in Roger Mason, Jr.</p>
<p>Training camp starts Saturday Sept. 25th, at which point the Knicks will run two-a-days until Wednesday, when they'll head to Europe for some exhibition games. With plenty of depth and the starting shooting guard and center spots still relatively up in the air, training camp will be chock full of intriguing position battles.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">New York Knicks</a> opened training camp Friday with their annual media day, this year held in Greenburgh, New York. As one might guess, the media flocked to new star player <span>Amare Stoudemire</span> - and he didn't let the media down when looking for quotes regarding the upcoming season.</p>
<p>"Anything less than [the playoffs] would not be a success," Stoudemire told the gathered media <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nba/columns/story?columnist=marchand_andrew&id=5611983" target="_blank">according to an ESPN report</a>.</p>
<p>Stoudemire also weighed in on <span>LeBron James</span>' decision to take his talents to South Beach.</p>
<p>"LeBron has nothing to do with me," Stoudemire said. "His decision was his decision and I think his decision may have been made years prior to the summer. It has nothing to do with me. My dedication is to the city of New York. I came here when the Knicks were down and out. I think the Knicks fans feel the exact same way about me. I think they have my back."</p>
