Says we are a talented team
Team has done a good job.
Weeding out some players helped team find an indentity
Knicks playing very good basketball
He is a Knicks fan and a Isiah fan
Says last year was a year of discontent and misunderstanding.
Knicks were way too talented to win 23 games. Said before the season they would win at least 33 games and he thinks they are better than that.
Said LB was his coach at UCLA and one of his best coachs ever.
Says Ownership deserves compliments because they are willing to go for it via money
Says He wanted Eddy Curry on the Nuggets! Only problem was the heart risk and thinks NY deserves compliments for taking that risk. Says it worked out great.
Says it would take a great package to get Jason Kidd. He says its very difficult to trade Jkidd. Great pgs are very rare.
Says Dirk would be his MVP so far. But many guys could be MVP.
He would have tried to keep Miller on Nuggets. Thinks AI and Melo will be a great combo.

Sounds like KiKi wants to be the next GM of the Knicks.

He said he is a friend of Isiah and that LB was one of the best coachs he ever had. That must be a weird balancing act

he has done a great job wit the nuggets lately getting Blake, JR Smtih and Iverson.. that raelly put them in good position to make a serious run. If only Kmart was healthy.. my god that team would be sick

Kiki is no longer GM

bring it

Because he did such a great job in Denver...That KMart contract was a dozy...

it was a dozy but only cause of the knee thing. Can't really predict that.

K-Mart was injury prone (with serious leg injuries) since college. Denver shouldn't have been surprised.

It would be awesome to have a GM that can focus on GMing and Isiah focus on coaching. That would really help us.

Its a doozy regardless. KMart isn't worth that money healthy, injury risk or not. Max money is for max players. 16 and 8 on the Nets with Kidd is no great shakes. Is Raja Bell worth max money? Hell, is Boris Diaw worth max money?

Camby is a center and Nene plays both center and PF. He overpaid for K-Mart, but he thought that was the *last* piece they needed. Frankly, had K-Mart and Nene stayed healthy, I'm not convinced he was wrong, provided they had been able to upgrade at the two, like they finally did this year with Smith.

Still, with a Camby and Nene frontline, where does K-mart play? SF? He overpaid for K-mart and forgot about a SG. No thanks on Kiki.

No, silly. Between C and PF there's 96 minutes available. K-Mart and Camby each play about 30+ minutes per game, which leaves 30+ mpg left over for Nene and another backup. I don't see the controversy. Big men help you win in the NBA. I thought the K-Mart move was bad because of how much they paid, but overall, Kiki turned Raef LaFrentz, Antonio McDyess, Nick Van Exel into Camby, K-Mart, Nene, Melo, Dre Miller and Voshon Lenard in the course of like two years. I can't see how anyone could say he didn't do a fantastic job. This was a perennial 30 win team that got good very quickly and would be even better if not for injuries. Can you imagine now a healthy K-Mart and Nene to put on the team they have now? Camby, K-Mart, Nene, Melo, AI, Smith, Najera, etc... that team would win the NBA championship a few times, IMHO.

Solace, the talent is there! No Doubt! The whole point is he overpaid for a injury prone PF he didn't need as bad as he needed to replace Voshon Learned. Thats silly!
