methods to improve over the next few years:

toronto
draft: lose their #1 to charlotte if they make the playoffs. they have all their picks after that.
cap room: 2008

philadelphia
draft: 3 #1 picks this draft as well as all their picks after that.
cap room: 2008

boston
draft: have all their picks.
cap room: 2008

chicago
draft: have the right to swap with ours. have all their picks after that.
cap room: 2007

milwaukee
draft: have all their picks.
cap room: 2007

orlando
draft: owes detroit a #1 (top 7 protected in 2007, unprotected in 2008). have all their picks after that.
cap room: 2007

atlanta
draft: have all their picks.
cap room: 2007

charlotte
draft: have all their picks.
cap room: 2007

new york
draft: chicago can swap with our #1 pick. no 2nd rounders this year and in 2009. owe another #1 by 2010.
cap room: possibly 2009, more likely 2010

Does not look good for the Knicks at all.

Curry broke down Dwight Howard tonight.

Atlease we know Curry is >>> Howard when we play head to head.

and he's broken down Dalembert, Jefferson, Bogut and others recently. only team on that list who's consistently given the Knicks problems is the Bobcats.

that's nice for eddy. but what about the team and it's win/loss record?

eddy is this team's future, along with lee. thread is about future competition, no?

bobcats and the bulls are in really good shape. other teams have work to do, just as much if not more than us. and if we're talking about future competition it's worth noting that Curry has outplayed most of these these teams' young bigs recently.

Then again........this was a back-to-back for them.

So true - they had that fatigued flatness about them. Also, our rest seems to have done wonders for Marbs knee. Tis a win though...

Not an excuse, Magic was flat, their offense was abysmal. Knicks took advantage and won. Hoo-ray, no sarcasm, I'll be happy for three days now. But come on now, Magic missed a lot of shots, off the front rim, that they normally hit....not an excuse, just watching the game.

Eddy is the muthaphuching $hit and makes them players his B!tch!

Isiah is the Muthaphuching $hit and with Dolans big*** muthaphuching bling the phuture looks like it does now.

All phull of muthaphuching promise but tth $hit ain't got jack on reality!

Spike in Brooklyn y'all, Beyonce singing the national anthem, and Lebron the king of the borough!

Money says Nets win a ring before the knicks do, and when that happens, it goes down from there.

NCAA can play tournament games in brooklyn? Yup! College ball in Brooklyn. Uh oh!

Muthaphuckin Brooklyn da $hit!

The knicks have a bright future. Curry is proving everyone wrong now. 27 on Dwight Howard? Ok the dude is unstoppable. I know I said he's not on that level yet but he is making it look really easy now. He is the best low post scorer in the league, Bar none. None of the teams mentioned in the east have players that can contain curry.
Curry is going to get better and he has proved to us that he has the drive to do so.

Balkman could become somebody. David Lee is that dude.

Nate is an immature ****, but he can't be counted out. When he is undercontrol he can score with anybody, with balls bigger that anybody in the league.

What will Collins do? He shows some poise and skill overall.

I'm rolling with the knicks. All the knicks have to do is burn frye. How bout to Boston? Milk Danny strange for all he is worth.

agreed Eny. Curry is a beast.
