i can understand keeping Duhon in the game when he's playing well, the guy does have skills as we saw last season... in his case u can say he's built up a trust level w/MDA... but Fishlips was garbage last year just like he's garbage this year... u can put a layer of frosting on a pile of **** & call it dessert, but it's still a pile of ****.

i think MDA is an excellent coach & have no problem w/his hiring... but i just can't stomach watching Jordan Hill wasting away on the bench while Fishlips gets minutes... it just eats at my core.

TMS, generally, you can't trade a player who is sitting on the bench. As much as you don't like it, JJ and Curry gonna get minutes through at least the first 41 games.

martin, u generally can't trade a guy who puts up zero production in 20 minutes of play who's making the dollars Fishlips is either... playing Curry i have no problem with, when he's healthy he can produce... there's at least a chance someone out there might wanna take him off our hands at some point... Fishlips & his 15% trade kicker make him near impossible to trade, & playing him only makes it harder because it just reinforces how little he brings to the table whenever u watch him on the floor... better to just have people talk about the "intangibles" he used to bring when he played for the Wizards & keep him safely tucked away out of view if u ask me... even playing Darko would make more sense, at least he can be a shotblocking presence, something we desperately need.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

so they went from one game under to 6 games over and they had good players. Kind of my point. Dallas had an elite team. The Nets were pretty good to no?

What are the Knicks supossed to do? I bet if we gave all these guys 3 year extensions and hired Mark Jackson maybe he could pilot them to 39 wins. Its not going to happen.

point is Minny went from a team winning 49% of its games to a team winning 61%

the Knicks are not that bereft of talent where a coach holding up his end of the bargain cant improve the win% 15 pts higher.

the stop underrating David Lee movement 1. FIRE MIKE 2. HIRE MULLIN 3. PAY AVERY 4. FREE NATE!!!

it's almost like we're tanking the season to get a high draft pick. WTF

Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please
