The one position we dont need more of. We just got rid of a PF, why add another? What, not enough depth at that position? Comon.

Hey Thomas, we need a SHOOTING GUARD!

IMO he's preparing to make a move. He'll end up trading one or more of the PFs we now have for a smaller SG type player, which could be why Leon Smith is getting signed.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

maybe thomas feels he can already move mcdyess and harrington or sweetney.. with the buyout of weatherspoon, they will be in need of a backup pf.

Good post. I was thinking the same thing.

After all the drama Spree showed us one would think re-grouping in a different direction on a temporary basis is the first call of order.

Not that LS would be any problem playing in New York, the City is completely different than the CBA or Developmental League. He may want to go Euro before NBA as some kind of ladder progression.

Thanks, but no thanks

Sounds right bobby. I dont want Leon either. I dont think that Psycho can be controlled by out team leaders H2O, KVH or Dice. I think he will be a locker room killer.

The good spirit hath bought to the team from the hand of the high priest Ward and his deacon Houstan shall bring peace to Leon.

In other words, We will knock the demons out of his ass when he gets in here.

The dude may be nuts, but he's not an azzhole like Rahweed and MeWell.

I have no idea what Leon Smith can do and that painting the face thing is really gay. Can some1 credible just come out and say if Leon will be good or not? If yes why and how. Thanks.

did'nt think you thought a 10 day contract was that big a deal. is'nt that the easiest way to find out what he can do? my bad did'nt mean to offend your homophobic side. oh, just for the record he was 19 when all that happened. <- is that one straighter?

So do u or don't you know what Leon can do. Or are you waiting for him to sign a contract as well? 10 day contract or 1 year contract, we still have to wait for him to play. I'm curious to know what he can do before then.

Oh so he was 19 and now he is so mature and older that you dont expect any trouble from him? Because NBA players only do stupid things when they are young and Rodman, Rasheed, Rider, Damon, Glenn Robinson, Shawn Kemp, Ruden Patterson etc..didn't do anything wrong when they got older? What exactly were you trying to say about my homophobic side?

I'm just happy we finally have a GM that will make GOOD BASKETBALL CHOICES. If Smith pans out than cool. I think Zeke will undo all the thrash that Layden did. People will be traded and waived for real talent and ballers. DRAFT DAY WILL BE GREAT......

you think rodmad & comp. are adults? i think not but to each his own. same goes for your homophobic side. your the one that thought my smiley face was gay. i like it though . as you would say "ding dong spoon is gone".
