Not so fast Marv. djsunyc is correct, July 2010 is only the first day of another cycle. March 10, 2011 should provide enough evidence whether the Knicks are headed to the first round of the playoffs or back to the draft lottery.

Not a day sooner.

once again, donnie gave away hill, a #1 and swapped a #1 for the sole purpose of shedding jeffries' contract by 7/1/10. if he doesn’t score big that day then he gave away huge assets that he didn’t need to. that is what i'm judging him on. i would have been fine with judging him in 2011 if he hadn't decided to roll so much of our future on this one day - 7/1/10. that’s exactly what i'm holding him to.

Listen to this man, this is the only answer.

It better be a hot summer.

That seems to be a bit twisted logic. If you're only real shot to land 2 Max guys or maybe 3 lesser All Stars, was to move Jared and Hill's money, then how can you say that he didn't need to use those assets. It's clear he did need to use the pick and Hill to get the space. This is the BIG FA market, not the next summer, THIS summer, so if you're going to roll the dice and go all in, this is the time to do that, right? So for the chance to win big you have to risk big. If he halfwayed this and fell short people would say why didn't he go all in.

The beginning of the end.

I think DW knows that there won't be much patience for this plan. He's going to really go hard to make sure that we won't completely strike out. Therefore he's gonna want to have MDA here when he does have better players here.
No matter how many insults fans here want to throw at MDA he had already proven his worth in his career and he's still a coaching star. He built great relationships with All Stars and they likely don't blame him for the record.

Im not happy with losing Hill unless Bill Walker becomes a good talent.

While 9 years is a long time, IM not "giving" ultimatums cuz whattaya gonna do? I waited 9 years I can go
two more years if need to. I want to see some progress naturally but the last thing I want is Walsh to panic and
run out and use up his cap all at once unless its Lebron and Bosh.

Trades can be made with cap space.

Spring is in the air. Do other things!

that's a good idea. personally i intend to spend my day catching up on media appearances by corey feldman imploring us to not jump to conclusions on the cause of death of corey haim.
