It all depends. If you trade KT and expiring deals for Webber, then ifhe fails, who cares? If you trade KT and lets say Anderson, excellent, thats like buying Anderson if Webber fails. I don't understand why you care about Dolan's money. He wants to spend it, good for us. Nobody is even talkin about giving up Marbury. Where did that come from? Read the article at least before you post please. As for giving Sweetney, thats rough. I'd only do it if they took Houston for Christie and gave us a future 1st round pick, and threw in Bobby Jackson. In other words make the deal better for us if they get a lottery pick, which is what Sweetney is. Giving up Tiny Tim is fine by me. They guy never plays, is softer then paper, and talks too much. So really, the only player that can be given up, and should not be given up is Sweetney, and even then it could be worked out to a better deal that includes Sweetney. Marbury is not even being offered. Everybody else on this team is irrelevant. Webber at his worst, which is like 18pts 8rbs 4asts 1block is still better then any frontcourt player the Knicks had in the last few years.

BRIGGS, which Jackson were you referring to? just curious.

i think STEVE Jackson would be a real good fit here with H2O moving back to 6th man and many less minutes to conserve him. obviously they will try to get a big man somehow, but jackson is worthy of our MLE

$56,058,295

That's their payroll provided they don't draft any rooks, they don't resign divac, they don't get a FA with the MLE.

Now, these guys don't have our financial support.

If we can get Webber for crap, cause ohtella, kurt, deke are useless crap, why shouldn't we do it ? Webber would still be a lot better than that. We got stephon cause the suns wanted to slash payroll. The kings will have to too, if they want to go further. They proved they could play well without him, he's no longer desired.

don't mortgage our future for webber, but this is not my monyer, and I fuc...g don't care if dolan has to swallow this pill. If he gets webber for this crap, we'd be a very dnagerous team.

what other team could afford to take this risk ?

Yeah, man. This smells like and Isaiah type move. He has a nose for finding leverage where there seemingly is none. Operates well from a disadvantageous position.

But the East isn't a cake walk like it used to be. Winning the ECC will require getting through Jersey (still going to be formidible next year) Detroit, and Indiana. Real teams, no matter what the Conference. I don't think Webber definitely gets us out of the first round. If not, why do it?

no way! They will only do it if Tim Thomas is part of the deal. If Isiah can pull that deal off without TT then he is the Messiah, but imo there's no chance.

If not Dampier I'll take Camby at center

stay away from damp. this is a contract yr, and we all know what really happens once they got their big bucks. Damp has always been labelled as lazy, do not forget that.

Why does anyone think that coming to NY make them better? Are we that arrogant?

We cannot funtion to trade all of our expiring crap or assets and add even more Salary year in and year out. We lose leverage for smaller deals and eventually will suck bad.

C-webb for Houstan makes sense as it adds length of contract and perhaps gives the Kings a player they can use. I don't know how many roster spots they have open, but taking a 4-1 or 3-1 trade is hard on most teams.

Overpriced fragile player in C-Webb is perfected for the knicks.

Knick fans want him because we are "StarPhuchers"! We crave the possibility greater than the result. Ranger fans, and Yankee fans are Starphuckers also. Salary constraints make starphuching hard in football. Eli Manning to Giants was a Starphuch. The Mets try it but are learning it does not work. Mo Vaugh and Alomar were Starphuch's. Stienbrenner did best with core group talent of Jeter, Williams, Riviara, pettit, and posoda. He gets in trouble when he StarPhucks himself too much. The NY Liberty can starphuch, and if they did we like to watch!

The truth is, all great teams win with superstars, but not all superstar teams win.
