SAS said that is exactly why LB will not get all his money.

heres a link to Aldridge's article in the Akron Beakon

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is going on in New York these days? Not only is Larry Brown changing lineups, it appears he's trying to change his job description.
Word is that Brown is calling many of his former charges around the league to see whether they'd like to do deals before the Feb. 23 trade deadline.

And he isn't wedded to keeping anyone on his roster.

Coaches calling around is not in and of itself unusual, but it doesn't sound as if Brown is clearing things with Isiah Thomas before he picks up the phone.

Which might explain why the Knicks seem to be in every trade scenario there is, including possible deals for Orlando's Steve Francis and Denver's Kenyon Martin. The Nuggets want to do something before the deadline, but the bigger question is how much owner Stan Kroenke will take on to make a move in the ...

SAS is saying the NBA is full of "clicks" and that everyone in the league does exactly what IT does but only IT gets called on it !!

Andrew, do you feel Frye earned consistant minutes ?? If not, why ?? Chris Paul played consistant minutes as well as Andrew Bogut, but not Frye.

As I stated earlier....Inconsistent defense and foul trouble.

Isiah first starting lineup
C Jerome James
F Mo Taylor

These ARE YOUR NY Knicks!

Nah, BRIGGS, you know this was Larry's team.

Isiah team will be

Curry
Frye
Woods
¿¿??
Marbury

Curry
Frye
Woods
Crawford
Marbury

Its is of your opinion that we got fleeced on every trade. I personally didn't any of his trades but i don't think we got fleeced on any of them as well.

rvhoss...I disputed the validity of your facts about the DNPCDs. If I am wrong please correct me. I never said anything regarding consistency in minutes in my origional post.

The comments about Marbury were interesting. (A caller asked how will Crawford fair with Isiah's loyalty towards Steph)

SAS brought up Isiah's quote from a Quite Frankly episode: "I'm only loyal to winning"

hmmmmm

Andrew, to be a better player, you let him play thru it right ?? I mean we were not in a playoff race but yet he is not on the floor. That is no excuse in my mind. How do you get better if you don't play ??

if we had not won 23 games and won say, 35 games, chicago does not have a number 2 pick for curry, but just some pick in the draft.

So, coaching a 35 win team to 23 games makes the curry trade look like crap, however, I beg to differ and think we should have won a ton more games and they don't have the number 2 pick, and possibly don't even have a lottery pick and then the curry trade is AWESOME.

I mean, you're trying to get curry, they say we're not doing the trade unless it's an unprotected or give us David Lee.

I say David Lee is worth keeping and we weren't going to have the second worst record in the league.

That's all I'm saying.

We were not the league's laughing stock pre-LB and suddenly we are big time...the only thing that changed was LB coming to town and that's why suddenly everyone hates our players and our team.

These are the same players that Isiah got kudos for acquiring during last year's draft (we got 4 players that day and give up Kurt Thomas I think), we gave up tim thomas and sweetney for Eddy Curry and maybe tyrus thomas.

I just feel that this last year debacle wouldn't have been so bad if larry put on a happy face, instead he turned the entire world and half of UltimateKnicks against the knicks...

Francis and JRose were knee jerk reactions to placate the coach, but Jrose is expiring and came with a pick and francis will perform or turn into KMart or Al Harrington.

Still not seeing how we are laughing stocks unless you just don't believe in the team at all.

I believe...only because I'm a fan.

most coaches think the opposite. You get better by not doing the things you are not supposed to. Shortening minutes is the leash.
