You gave up 2 quality players playing in a bad system and all you got is cap space, with about 3 marquee FA's.

At the end of the day you will have max 2 stars to come here, so we will have 3 maxed out players and a bunch of 1 yr players..This is similar to the same dumb **** walsh did..smh..wtf

Nobody is getting waived then coming to join a last place team, so I wish phil would stop saying he hasn't given up on the season, it's really insulting.

Sources say #Knicks are planning to waive 2 of the 3 players they acquire in the trade. Lance Thomas is most likely candidate to be kept.

Yeah Phil said we had to win in order to be attractive

Now he's just giving stuff away

Whatever fits the current set of circumstances

Phil knows he can get way with Flip-Flopping in New York

This is just BULL-ISH. This is a smart direction to go in given what he witnessed. Now he's improved his cap space which is a GOOD THING and can't be turned into a negative by you and any other naysayer. How can you trash good cap space given the way this team has done things in the past? So now we have a 1st rd pick which should be a top pick and over $30 mil in cap space so far. Mind you Phil can clear even more space if he wants to. Those are good things.

all i had to read was "we gave 2 quality players".... and i thought your "fire fisher" threads were ridiculous.

I never made no fire fisher thread, but if a petition went out, i'll sign it in a heart beat.

I'm not that guy that gives credit to coaches when the team is winning, and blame losses on players. 1000's of ppl are on line to sign the petition, they have started to make their voices heard.

I didn't think JR liked Lebron...Wasn't he goofing on his shoe brand with his brother on Youtube not too long ago? Maybe I'm wrong...Gonna be interesting to see how his terrible shot selection goes down with Blatt, the Cleveland big 3 and their fans.

So we're getting Lance Thomas and Lou Amundson back in this deal now? LOL...I thought we weren't bringing anyone back?!? I wanted the open spots for other players...So now it's gonna be Thomas (who I actually don't think is terrible--would much prefer one of these younger, higher-upside DL standouts instead though), Amundson (hustle role player who's completely useless to us) and a Langston Galloway callup?? F YEAH!!! I mean at least if we grabbed 3 top DLers, I would've watched for the rest of the year...Someone wake me up during the offseason. LOL.
