You throw your opinions out, be prepared for them to be throw back at you Playa 2. Its not about “caring” about what you say… BTW, get off the NYC bias. Believe it or not, but there are temptations that saturate every NBA city. There are plenty of examples of careers getting snuffed out outside of NY, and I wouldn’t have to go all the way back to Michael Ray Richardson to cite them. The “young players cant handle NY” is just a lame cover up to hide their ineptitude. Nothing more.

I can appreciate the optimistic spin as much as the next guy, but c’mon. Frank Williams is supposed to average 14/7 ?? Reversing those numbers would be more accurate… Slow down on Frank Williams. Its going to take more then dropping some good numbers on those glorified YMCA pick up games they call Summer b-ball to erase that deer caught in the headlights play he was famous for all year. That being said, he is twice as good as Eisely which is really sad.

The mistakes that you seem all seem to be so quick to forgive are the reasons why we have no All-Stars, playoff games, or any tangible hope. We have every right to criticize past moves. Damn, its not as if we are lamenting Starks going 2 for 18, or the Charles Smith trade…The mistakes still impact this team today. I don’t work for the Knicks, so I don’t feel obligated to spin their ungodly decisions. The only way we will be able to “move on” is the day Scott Layden gets handed that pink slip.

I think you would be in the minority. i think 95% of fans would trade the 33 year oldHouston for the 21 year old Nene in a hearbeat if the salaries were the same. remember this team is not good. we are not breaking up a championship team here

Caseloads when you see a guy with two major knee surgeries you make a deal but dont give up a lottery pick especially in a year with so much talent and so much big man talent.

i am saying this in hindsight, i dont expect all of us fake Gm's to have the scouting the knicks have but this move shows the knicks have some of the worst Scouting by any team.

This move is indicative of any thine else there is no need to be confident with this regime, but there are plenty other bad moves to convince you.

Your acting like rookies bode well in NYC, I beg to differ.Too many distractions for some of them who's a lil naive of city lights and fast women.

Sounds like you're talking from experience. Women getting you down?

If a rookie is mentally sound, those things won't distract them. Perfect example to the Contrary is Jeremy Shockey. He's a doof that chases anything in a skirt.

But, then there is Derek Jeter. Yes, he has a night life, and yes he is popular with the ladies.....BUT, he also has 4 rings and a World Series MVP trophy among other things.

Not all rookies end up distracted. Derek is a prime example.

You are on point backwards LAYDEN dude !!! Please, say it again so they can hear you !!!
