Met mark aguirre today at the mall.... he's mad cool...

First thing I said:
"Why is jerome james on this team and nichols is not?"

He bursted out laughing and said one word "MONEY"

So I was like "ok so u guys couldent cut him? Dolan wouldent allow it? " he was like "yea man trust me that killed us to have to do that" he sounded really upset about it and restated that if they coulda cut james for him they would have.

I proceeded to insult jerome calling him a fat embaressment and mark laughed hard again.

Then I was like "is there any chanceof david starting?" he shrugged and jus said "man who knows with this team"

Finally I proceeded to diss crawful lol "what's wrong with jamal? Why does he jack up ridiculous shots like he's a and1 player"??? He bursted out laughing really hard and said "yea we have to straighten that out" I said "when the ball moves around good things happen... when jamal runs down the floor crossover fadeaway I want to shoot mysel... doesent he realise by now that's not a good shot???" he started laughing again and agreed.. He seemed to be happy 2 be recognised and impressed that I actually knew wat I was talking about. That was it... real nice guy.... the end

Awesome.

That's somethin huh? You have to figure that if we're thinking these things that the same points aren't lost on the team. There's just more to it than simple logic might suggest. Money being an issue in this case really stinks. I guess, Dolan was tired of handing out free money and drew the line on Jerome. Maybe their going to try and see if they can get him declared physically unfit to play and try to get his money picked up by insurance or something. If they can get him to retire due to injury, maybe that's a way to solve this.

If this is all true, about his reaction to your questions, then I'd have to say that the state of things are actually as pathetic as we thought it's been. Incredible!

That would have to be in the contract. And Dolan ain't about to give up 18 million more bucks for nothing! We're stuck wtih the bum.

$36M if you count the luxury tax.

We already figured it out the bank vault is closed. All you have to know is that JJ Fats is still on the team. The amount of money the Knicks have doled out in buyouts and Law suit settlement is nearing some 50-60 millon range thats just in the last few years. Man Isiah is making sure everyone gets rich maybe we can get our foot in the door somehow, it like a lottery you never know.

If you buy him out you save on the luxury tax!

And was $3MM so much to bite for Freddy Jones? We were able to send Dickau packing when we could actually use a pass first pg on this team?

Wheres the link? LOL just joking, but that's whats up. Even Aguirre can see this team doesn't always make the right choices.

"never know with this team!"

That was a very telling quote. Its scary!

Even Aguirre was not very defensive about the team and what is wrong. One could figure he could have put Elite in his place by saying that "things are not always as they appear" but he was far less defensive than Nixlova is!

Aguire might seem like he goes as far as Isiah does. When Isiah is gone, He is also at some point. Im glad he is cool about the whole thing and was approachable. That is good. Maybe we need more of that on this team. Dealing with reality instead of worrying about dolans media police!

Way to go Elite! Good take.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Yeah, that quote stood out to me as well. Scary indeed.
