According to sources, Portland point guard Damon Stoudamire who is to be a free agent this summer will strongly consider being a New York Knick.  With Stoudamire, the Knicks would be closer to the scrappy guard/shooting oriented lineup that has been so successful with the Phoenix Suns and Seattle Supersonics.  A lineup Isiah Thomas has hinted at mimicking.

"If that happens, it would be great," Stoudamire said late Saturday night. "I definitely think the beauty of playing that way is that you have three guards that can pass, dribble and shoot. Isiah is molding the team the way he did in Toronto and like the team he played for in Detroit. Isiah, Joe Dumars and Vinnie Johnson all complemented each other."
