YOU JUST ANSWERED EVERYONE'S POINT.

The Knicks have been irrelevant for a decade, and by your own admission Walsh has put them in position to create a dynasty.

Yes... there is a 100% chance that it could fail, we sign nobody, we get Lebron and he blows his knee out... bla bla bla

The point is he took a franchise with a decade of futility and put them in position to create a dynasty.

Sorry but thats pretty good

I don't get all this recent hype about the nets- what do they have to offer thats better than what we've got? They can't sign a 2nd max player to go with Lebron, and their roster has nothing except for a mediocre point guard who regressed last year, this years unproven rookie, and a good centre. Their team was even worse than ours last year! They have to play in New Jersey for at least 2 years before they can even move to Brooklyn. I'm not optimistic about our chances and I really fear we're about to strike out, but this hyping of the nets has been complete bull****!

That is how you get anudder meeting

Childs2Dudley - great photo work.

Walsh has his guys working all the angles while the press can only speculate or quote such journalistic icons as Yahoo Sports (Berman) or repeat second-hand rumors from (cough) "sources"

Sounds to me like these players are getting good advice from their reps (aka agents, etc.) They are playing the PR game pretty well and keeping everyone guessing. Is Stern pulling strings? I doubt it. Just the evolution of the sports biz.

Do you like the idea of losing an emergin allstar for nothing? Or the fact that teams are clearly cap space and giving up less then we did.

We weren't going to be a playoff team. So why not move lee and get something extra picks, young talent or clear jefferies. I'm sure everyone is out to get the knicks, but he put together a lot of selfish guys in contract years and that always backfires. If we didn't sign he cheap to use in a trade we didn't need him.

No one really knows anything about walker and douglas. We are selling a team that I like and fits as good as any for bosh and lebron. But if donnie and mike were on the same page why bench the kid? He played great early and then didn't make it back till the last handful of games.

If lee isn't included in the future work on a deal early. douglas is your starting one next to lebron, duhon has no place taking his minutes. Yelling at your scouts for missing on jennings, I think he moves a little early sometimes. We could be in a much stronger position.

Some of what you say has merit, but you keep neglecting the presumed basis for DW's decisions: Being in on the BIG FISH. That's not quite the "all in" we have mostly claimed it to be as Walsh certianly has flexibility to build a playoff team here. But when Lebron, Wade, Bosh and Amare are all going to be available and you clear the decks to try to sign two, you've done what you SHOULD do as a GM in a big market. Now if Lebron chumps out and stays in Ohio, Walsh can show what he's been doing besides getting us in the game. And I have a fair degree of trust in his capacity to provide us with a much better hoops experience than we have seen around here in a loooong time.

Please stop throwing out the bath with the bath water. It's just not necessary right now.

"Walsh is looking like a Rookie GM?": Be cool, let it play out. It depends on your expectations. If walsh does not do Jordan Hill cap wipe we bitch" Walsh is not ready for biggest Free agent haul in history!".

Walsh made it happen and we have no idea what his other alternatives would have been other than was we read as outsiders.

At best we were never better than 25% chance of landing the biggest of fish anyway!

If expectations were we'd be on July 5th all signed and sealed with starphuck vegas odds roster catch of the century with starphuck kudos to hail Donnie "stiff necks" Walsh as Exec of the year making lebron and bulls his bitch with Bosh on a leash then y'all Santa Claus expectations are too high!

pretty much... and we just landed a big, huge, All NBA fish. You don't get that being a rookie. All weee neeeed is just a litttttle patttttttience, yeah yeah, just a litttttttttle pattttttttttttieence, yeah yeah
