Point at games end is most important. Ward has plenty of experience and leadership. He is the Quarterback! With a Vet team, its hard to put Frank there because he does not see the court well. Yet.

If you want him to drive to the hoop for the last shoot, thats one thing. This is a vet based team now, and ward is valuable in that capacity. Milos is experienced now running a pro club in europe and is developing those skills well.

We need a point whom can take an outside shot, or blow by you and go to the basket. Either he gets fouled, dishes, or makes the hoop. There are few points out there that can do that whom will come cheap. And MIlos represents the best chance for us to have. He is already ours. Crawford is really a two, tinsley is a nice player, but not a veteran quarterback.

The knicks look at this team as both a playoff contender, and if it jells, can go further. The potential is there.

Funny, Some of you have been real hard on dudes with any kind of enthusiasm or looking ahead with vision. The Necrom site is really a bashing site. Dudes like Playa are closer to what is happening than out right bashing.

No doubt the jury is still out, and they have yet to put it together, but what makes it fun is the pieces are in place. If not, sure we will be dissapointed, and you bashers can proudly say your right. IF the team goes one or two rounds in the playoffs, y'all will be right on the bandwagon. Its almost like the dudes in the gym whom make fun of the dudes out dancing with the girls, and shake their heads when they leave with a hottie! Sticking your neck out requires courage. So perhaps, knick basher fans are the real ones whom are soft, because they are afraid of being hurt or dissapointed.

PLayer, I am not backing you up here. You encourage them plenty enough and dance the dance too fast. Be cool. I think dudes that sack the QB when they are losing, or plenty of game left is silly. Do it near the end, when you can savior the victory.

In short, I am encouraged by this team and would look for them to play better as a unit then making 5 trades.

Laydogs vision lineup is now in place. Lets give it 30 games and see what happens. If it fails, thats cool, because we still have our pick, we can throw a boat load of Jack at milos and he will come, and some rookies to develope in the future.

Some of you complained last year the knicks have no game plan. This summer, plan a and plan b developed.

Yes we lucked into mutumbo. Laydog left some of his exemption in place in the event an opportunity came his way. Luck is when preparation and opportunity colide.

Im not denying any of the previous years miscalculations, and we dug ourselves a big hole to crawl out of.

Time is the ultimate judge, and it will take a few years to see this out. Everybody wants to win now, but that is not the reality with this club in transition.

Peace.
