What to do now is to try to do the same thing we did this year only better (i.e., bring in seasoned vets for the minimum, along with overseas guys, to play around our big 3), and hope for the best. Couple years time, all of those big contracts are gone, and if we're smart (which we won't be) we can rebuild from scratch.

Big 3?

You mean MElo, the d-league center, and the wounded messiah? What is big about that? Chandler and Amare are wasted space. Screw them both. We should be searching around the clock for a way to remove both of these guys from our roster, although Amare will need to be paired with other assets. Melo needs to be surrounded by quality nba talent, NOT role players. You can't build a team of role players. You need a team of quality players with role players to fill in the gaps. Enough 3pt specialists, enough defensive-only guys, get two way players for heaven's sake, or at least guys that have diverse skillsets.

Well the odds say we have a less than 5% chance to win this series now--what from these games do you walk away with that says we get beat this team 3 games in a row? Lets face facts this team was put together shtty. We paid too much for Melo because we didnt have the right assets to go around him--now were stuck and fcked.

Knicks invested a ton of money in Melo, Amare and Tyson. I think the only investment that is paying off is Melo. Tyson seemed to be trying harder tonight but what was up with his hands? He was given the ball in great position and just kept fumbling it.

I am not too high on Melo right now. He can't even shoot 50% or better for more than 1 game in these playoffs. That April run was nice, but that means nothing when you can't produce that in the playoffs.

LA Clippers. Tyson Chandler and our 1st rounder for DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe.

Bingo. Pull the trigger on that deal as SOON as the playoffs are done.

If we could get Bledsoe I'd definitely keep Kidd to tutor him. Kidd's minutes would be GREATLY reduced going forward though.

If you get Bledsoe that makes Ray expendable and you could get something decent for him too.

I wouldn't even wait, I'd do it tomorrow!

The Heat still have Lebron wade and Bosh. The Bulls will have Rose back Younger teams will be up and coming. What does this team do? Were capped out and draft picks are gonzo.

We're stuck pretty much no out....This is what happens when you construct teams like this and strip it of all it's future flexibility.

Gotta suck it up and watch the suck, suck the life out of you as a fan....

Hey smoke and mirrors we played a very decent season--but the bottom line is we had too many older players and + 1 of our main guys has fatal knee problems that were stuck with does anyone hev a magic 8 ball?

Briggs you're kind of late on this....as usual

Your posts 90% of the time wreak of emotional reaction. I've yet to see you post anything non NCAA/HIGH School related that shows you are a forward thinker. You reflect and wallow after what has transpired.

Some of us tried to told the board that our cute 44-48% chucking system early on would sniff any success or would be sustainable by the time the playoffs arrived.

We said Brewer was TRASHOLA.....he's on the end of the bench in OKC alright....Mister Earl Ronnie Brewer Principle

We gave gauranteed money 4yrs/$18mil to a guy who stole a move from a true Superstar, who can only do one thing well and that's play STATUE. Who got so unraveled by a former Knick mocking him only to see that Knick play leaps and bounds better than him in the playoffs. When a poster early on this season said..."he's not that good" the board folded up with all the game pieces on it.....

As soon as I saw Kidd's Truck totaled.....I knew his season wasn't going end well

Okay the Camby trade......the trade in which CrushAlot used every breath to defend as viable comstantly referring to the last yr as non guaranteed. Even Camby said he was shocked he got paid what he got paid. I specifically said that was possibly a worst trade than the Eddy Curry trade

Okay then we didn't stop there.....Rasheed spent 2yrs eating Pork Rhines and drinking A&W Root Beer from his coach in a wife beater and flip-flops and tube socks and we said here take $1.5mil on the house

Okay we didn't stop there we got so upset at Jeremy Lin, we said Felton come back cupcakes and all and bring Crazy Eyes with you, why don't you.

Then we had the nerve to sign Prigi Smalls as a 3rd point guard and a virtually 29yr old overseas rookie to round out our roster

Footnote Chris Smith......A.K.A. The Earl Favor

Forgot one last thing.... who can forget the memorable yr James White Flight had....Thanks for the All-Star Memories we'll live to talk about it from generation to generation
