<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Changes Imminent After yesterday's 95-90 loss to Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, Isiah Thomas promised comprehensive changes in the starting lineup and playing time, probably with Eddy Curry coming out, with Fred Jones and Quentin Richardson in peril, too. That could give David Lee and Malik Rose a chance to start, but according to Rose, more than anything, the Knicks need a change of heart. -- Newark Star-Ledger # Sometimes change is good," said Curry, who scored eight points and grabbed just one rebound - a season low - all in the first half. "For some reason we're just not clicking right now and that second unit is getting us back in games, so (making changes are) obviously something we have to do." -- New York Daily News # Chris Rock said he wanted drastic change. Now. "They need to make a deal; there's some deals out there," he said. "You don't think Chicago wished they had Eddy Curry right now? They kind of do. They got no low-post presence." Rock made a larger point: How can you expect the Knicks to make consistently winning plays when a majority of the players on the roster have not consistently won in the N.B.A.? -- New York Times</div>
The big change came with David Lee starting against Orlando, they are down 15 to the Magic right now.
I wouldn't say the starting lineup change was "drastic". As Chris Rock said, what we need is a deal. We need to start rebuilding. We can't take on more contracts, especially from players who haven't won in the NBA.
