Stop making sense? How about stop posting the same repetitive negative nonsense over and over. Why not try and be positive for once in your lives? Why not try and have some hope for the summer? Sick and tired of constant negativity. Do you think negativity helps anything, especially right now? We had a right to be pissed under Layden and Isiah but why are people crying right now? Why are people trying to predict the future? A negative fucture, not even a positive one. Why? Can't you just take things as they come and be a little more positive. Why does everything have to be the worst case scenario?
Listen to The Secret. Positivity brings on positive aspects in life. It's all in the brain, the way of thinking. Negativity doesn't bring anyone any good and just makes people more miserable. To quote the great Stephon Marbury, "don't get caught up in basketball, get caught up in life!". That's it. Be positive just a little damn bit instead of telling everyone we'll sign Jerome James and Jamison Brewer this summer. Can't anyone have anything good to say and have some hope going into one of the biggest summers in franchise history? Jesus Christ!
I can't believe the Knicks did the Hill trade. I have felt like this several times before, when they passed on Ron Artest in the draft and when they traded for McDyess on draft night. I think both of those moves still haunt this franchise and my fear is that this trade will have the same or greater negative impact. Sorry I can't put a positive spin on it. Unfortunately unless a miracle occurs I think it will be brought up on a regular basis at least until after the 2012 draft.
Positive spin? What's there to spin? It's cap space. It can be used. That's it. That simple. Nothing more, nothing less. Crying about Jordan Hill and telling me we're not signing anyone because we traded Jordan Hill doesn't help anyone or anything. It really doesn't. Neither does bringing up the Mcdyess trade from 8 years ago. This is 2010. This is April 2010. July 1st, 2010 is a big date. The other stuff is in the past now and it will definitely be when that date rolls around. Having some hope isn't a sin, regardless of what you think about Jordan Hill. Only negative thinking like yours - wallowing in misery for no apparent reason - can produce the events for which you foresee occurring. Miracle? No. It will hardly be a miracle. It's New York, it's free agency, it's cap maximum cap space for 2 players. And it's 3 months away. No miracles here. Just reality.
Max cap space is only a partial plan. Certainly it didnt workout to well for Orlando--you know we will have to renounce the whole team to do it. So of we get Rudy Gay and JJ--what kind of team is that????????????????????????????????????????/ No post?
How didn't it work out well for Orlando? They signed 2 superstars and one happened to become a guy with chronic injuries as soon as he signed. Oh wait, am I supposed to fear a guy getting injured once he signs here now? Hey, let's not sign LeBron because there is a possibility he could get injured here!
Renounce what whole team? All the guys who are leaving suck or are severely overrated by the fanbase (Lee). They have givien us 28 wins thus far. Why am I going to miss those guys? At the very least I can have a 75% new team for next season from this summer alone.
What if we get Joe and Rudy? You know, who gives a flying F? We got them. I'll support them. I wont be happy about it but I'll support them. And if it doesn't work out, oh well. Screw it. We've been losing for 10 years, right? 10 years of garbage. We're basically the Eastern Conference Clippers at this point. It wouldn't surprise me.
But I'm not sitting here worrying about the worst case scenarios like you are. I'm sitting here having some HOPE, creating some POSITIVE energy and just enjoying the craziness that will be the Summer of 2010.
