won't be getting better players than Zach Randolph and maybe even Crawford. If you take away LBJ Bosh Amare and Wade--no player is better than Zach that is available. And why excatly did we go from 25-35 mm in cap and give up Jordan Hill for if we didnt know what was coming down the pipe> Guessing games?????????????/

Stop making sense. There is a plan in place to clear cap room and give up assets in hopes of fulfilling the dream of giving D'Antoni a roster so talented that it could win with a monkey coaching it.

I don't know man--but I do know one thing. Unless someone had told me BRIGGS--Im signing here make sure the cap space is there--that deal for Jordan Hill and the picks was the stupidest F move we have seen in quite some time and we have some duzy's. But to just give away something on a whim takes the cake. I really thought LBJ was coming here--I don't know if anyone watched the Cav game--but let me tell you this he is NOT coming to NY. Wade was never coming here sounds like Stoudemire is not coming here and it seems as if they are heavy links of Bosh to Chicago. What exactly do we have left--a team of SF's that we have overpay for?

i agree they **seem** to have no hedge against failure with the risk they have taken on. to me, dumping zero/jc was fine, cost no young guys/picks/etc... hill/picks/swap is pushing it if guys dont sign in 2010. same story though... would you rather be shutout from the 2010 fa's + late lotto pick or worse + 30+ win team till 2011 or later by retaining zero/jc? the picks hurt if things go poorly... no doubts on that from me. we shall see what they have soon.

The icing on the cake is when we max out DLee and Joe Johnson to get us a 42 win team...Same type of team as when Isiah got here...I remember the last time we had cash to spend...There were all the talk about Reggie Miller and others coming to the Knicks to team with Patrick...We ended up with H2O...Miller took less money and stayed in Indiana...I still contend Walsh knows something...He has to...

Got to love the negativity spreading like wildfire. 3 game left in the season, 3 months till the summer and people are sitting here still acting like Chicken Littles and proclaiming the sky to be falling.

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.

Do you, or anyone for that matter- really think Joe Johnson gets us a 42 win team?

Is Joe Johnson, on paper, that much better than Al Harrington that he should turn 10+ games into wins?

And who is filling the gaps on vet min deals? Walsh and D'Antoni haven't exactly shown the kind of eye for that kind of talent.

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.

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.


Reality is unless the Knicks get LeBron and Wade or Bosh they messed up.

Reality is that you're not reading anything I say and continue to spew negativity.


I don't wear a cheerleaders outfit--apparently you do.

I don't wear anything actually. I walk around my home naked.

But I know you don't wear a cheerleaders outfit. Of course not. You wear a Grim Reaper outfit.

I am a frustrated sports fan. I am not looking for a philsophy on life when I come here to post. I think the Hill trade could be one of the worst in franchise history. Hopefully I am wrong and you can blast me with, I told you so's this summer.

You're frustrated over something that hasn't happened yet. You're complaining about something that hasn't occurred yet. You're predicting outcomes to the summer of your supposed frustration with one trade. How exactly does that make sense to you?

No. It's more fun to pretend that has already passed and we're getting nobody. It's also more fun to pretend that Jordan Hill is the greatest player to ever play the game and that Jared Jeffries is the 2nd best player to ever play the game and that the 2011 swap will be Houston's and will be the next Wilt and that the 2012 will be the next Jordan.

And then you find yourself trashing Mike and Walsh.

For, that's fun. I think. I don't know. Sure seems like it's the thing to do. Whhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I must be old. Supporting my team and it's plan. Waiting to see how that plan works out before commenting on it. Too old school I guess. Don't wait to see what happens just pretend you already know the outcome and trash it!
