I still think the kid can play....... But he never got a good chance... Is he a goner for sure? Maybe D'Antoni will give him a chance?

unless the dude can improve his non-existent shot, he'll be gone after his 3 years.

I don't think so. I see the following players being let go..

Dinglebury
JJ-Fat
Fred Jones
Randolph Morris
Malik Rose

Mardy should do well in a helter skelter type offense as a slasher and defender. If he can develop a shot then he can be our Raja Bell.

I think he gets another shot, but if he doesn't do much in camp this year I can't see bringing him back.

What's the point of cutting Mardy?

We only have the mid-level to sign one dude. Its not like we're going to sign five guys and need the roster space.

Fred and Morris will be gone. Probably Big game too. I can see the Knicks holding on to Marbury ONLY if they can't sign someone like Duhon.

Rose is a tradeable asset.

I think he will be a throw-in in a trade or be released prior to the season.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I don't think Mardy could play in the basketball league I play in so no, he can't play for the Knicks.

He was killing it for a while when he got minutes. He was injured last year, now we're going to cut him? For what? A free agent off the street that's not going to add anything anyway?

it makes sense to just keep him for 2008-2009 and see if he can play better and then not pick up his team option in 2009 if he doesn't progress.

He was averaging close to a triple double when he played full time prior to his injury.

Mardy Collins is gonna threaten to be an all-star on the rise. Cap'n Zeke will be vindicated for choosing him over Marcus Williams.

It was more like 2 weeks. But it just shows, when healthy, he has value and can contribute in ways no one else can on this roster(defense&passing). Collins is one of the least concerns on this roster.

Wow there is actually someone who just said "Mardy Collins is the LEAST of our concerns.
Wow.


DJ is absolutely right, Mardy Collins will NOT be on a NBA roster within 12 months.

Brunson had a career, why not Mardy. Who is a better guard defender on this roster? nobody. i'm not saying he fits our roster, since our coach is all about the O, but he can find a role somewhere.
