Whichever way Donnie builds it silly.

lol same old trash from the same old people

Just 2 days ago you wanted Walsh to trade Chandler, Walker, 3 1st round picks, a 2nd round pick and $3M in cash for Balkman and Melo.

Today you are telling him to sit right and care for the future.

I'm confused which is it -- trade away 3 future #1s or sit tight and don't mess with the future?

I enjoy your posts - you are a true fan but at the same time I find you jump around quite a bit and are overly dramatic in your posts leaving no grey area.

Bottom line Walsh is a lawyer and a business man --- he's going to stay in the loop but I don't think he'll make a decision either way until he has to or Melo is moved elsewhere.

You look at DW's history and the kind of guy he is and I think your OK. DW is the anti-knee jerk. He is slow and methodical and all about opportunity. If it was Isiah he would have already packaged AR/Gallo/Chandler/Douglas and Turiaf + every pick the league will let us trade for Carmello.

I'm a little concerned about what happens "Post-DW" though.

again... what was option B with those last 2 years? Build around Zach and Marbury and Crawford? Is that what Walsh was brought here for? You can hire a GM and say go get Lebron. His job was to clean out this mess and build a team on the fly. He targeted the 2010 FA class because veteran FAs like Felton and Amare mean you dont have to the additional 2-3 years after getting guys for them to grow.

Its pretty simple:
years 1-2 clean out mess
year 3 compete + make playoffs
year 4 use max cap space and flexibility to improve to upper echelon team
year 5 compete for a title

This needs to happen next year, this should have been a 3 year process to begin with..

Donnie Walsh decided to make a run at Lebron and FAILED.

Donnie Walsh signed Amare to a guaranteed $100 million deal that isn't insured too. So he essentially signed a future albatross deal. He likely did this because he backed himself into a corner by trading Hill(Amare Lite ) and picks for cap space.

Walsh has **** the bed now he must lie in it.

your just wrong. It was Lebron or bust for you. For Walsh it was a FA crop with a pool of great players.

Whats the corner he backed himself into? The one where he has a roster of guys under 25 and cap space to sign a MAX free agent next year? Is that the corner?

There isnt a bad contract on the Knicks. 5x all star froncourt players are max players. If Amare blows his knee out after 4 straight years of being one of the most durable players in the NBA thems the breaks, but at least it comes off the cap.

Here's the question Anubis loves to ignore. Why is Amare an albatross contract but YOU WHERE DYING TO TRADE FOR GILBERT ARENAS. Its HIGH-LARIOUS that

there's always got to be one... I never thought I'd say this, but if someone has to fill the role, I kinda miss the blobman
