"There will be change with the [Knick] roster, that much is certain," reports Alan Hahn.  However, Knicks' president Donnie Walsh is in no hurry.  

"Walsh already proved he will work at his own pace when he turned down an offer from the Los Angeles Clippers for Zach Randolph, whom Walsh had been shopping for a while," the Newsday story continues.  "The Clippers reportedly offered a second-round pick for Randolph, but Walsh believes he can get a better offer."

Such a deal would amount to a salary dump that helps the Knicks advance their plan of clearing substantial salary cap room in 2010.

The New York Times reports that the Knicks are virtually certain to part ways with Stephon Marbury before the season begins and are also determined, to a lesser extent, to move Randolph.
