Nix, honestly, when people brought up trades at the beginning of the year, you were quick to ask if the posters were really fans of the team and that they have no loyalty to the players on this team. I know this because you said these things to me and now you're doing it? I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just curious as to your stance now.

Well according to Isiah, he is IRREPLACABLE. He has said it before. I don't feel like rehasing all of this...but I FEEL that the least likely candidates to be traded are Curry, Lee and Crawford along with Steph (based on contracts). Francis will be bought out. I am sure Mardy Collins wont be any type of "deal breaker." Plus you'd be singing a different tune about certain players, had they not gotten hurt.

FACT: we are now 12 games under .500 playing these "future" players. prior to these injuries, we posted our first winning record for a month in GOD knows how long.

FACT: curry has not played as well w/o Lee and Jamal (see the numbers I posted earlier)

FACT: mardy collins, nate and whomever else, with the exception of balkman, would not have seen the light of day without the injuries. necessity may be the mother of invention but i dont think isiah thinks that "now I've seen (insert player name) play, this (insert player name) is replaceable.

FACT: any type of "player" such as rashard lewis or another "starphuck" will not be available for a contract that runs way longer than 2 years and the GM who would be signing and trading the player would be a moron not to ask for LEE or CURRY or draft picks.

I only truely want one player gone. But if I ran the knicks the off season would be:
Cut Francis
Trade Frye
Dump Marbury

It's a sign of dysfunction............. Another reason staleBury should be gone. Most of the time these trades want other people "Gone" to cover for the fact he can't be moved. I'm cutting out fat and saying just dump HIM!!!!!!!!!
