well malik did his time, he should be released to go to a team where he can win some games

The last game that was played in New York Breen said when he would talk to him he could look into his eyes and see the guy is miserable being here.


The Culture here is the worst in all of sports.

You feel the Knicks should release him and pay his salary while he helps another team?

Malik has been one of Isiah's guys this year. He's been asking him to be a leader in the lockerroom and even on the bench. Malik has said how impressed he's been with Isiah this year. I think they've had a very good relationship and I don't think he's looking to get rid of Rose. I get the idea that he may be looking to make him an assistant one day if he'd like the job.

Rose was right in many ways, tho I wouldn't go so far as to say that the injuries weren't a huge problem. Still this team DID have a lack of the kind of killer instinct you need to come with every night. To often losing to teams they should beat. Not playing as hard as they can from the opening tip. Rose is used to being around a team FULL of true professionals. The thing is that many teams in this league don't stand up to the high standards of the Spurs. Only the top teams are really full of guys that are on that level mentally. Teams like the Knicks have to keep working to develop that and to get rid of players that won't comply with that attitude.
