		<description><![CDATA[
The Knicks have made a number of offseason moves to begin building for the future. In signing Raymond Felton, they have added the best point guard of the free agent class and in signing Amare Stoudemire they have added an explosive scorer to pair with Felton. When you consider the other contracts that were thrown [...]]]></description>

Due to some technical issues, however, we couldn&#8217;t post the podcast until today (it was recorded Thursday).  Anyway, give it a listen and share your thoughts in the comments section.
