Donnie Walsh still believes New York's biggest need is at center and the team's most likely pre-deadline acquisition may be Earl Barron.

Walsh intends to bring Barron back to the team, according to a source.

Barron was cut by Phoenix on Dec. 22, and has been waiting patiently for the Knicks to open up a roster spot.

He was a huge success late last season when he signed with New York for the final seven games.
