Why? Lets start with Novak and LIN

lets start with the fact that the effect that the melo trade has had on this team means we are now scraping the barrel to get overpaid and bad players onto the knicks. i don't see how anyone can avoid making this connection. NO to cousins he's a moron and NO to evans he is a tweener. NO to zero-sum and negative-sum players!!!

imagine that this tool carmelo anthony whines about needing another scoring option. the nerve of this clown. he has got to have the lowest BBIQ of any scoring champion in the history of the NBA. when will the knick fanbase get wise? he needs to get in shape, learn how to pass, learn how to dribble, learn how to use pump fakes, develop footwork, learn not to be in love with himself.

carmelo anthony needs help alright....

Melo produces. Amare is busted. Walsh spent two years shedding picks, players and youth so the Knicks would have the cash to sign a guy to a max deal that had uninsurable knees and a timeline for how long he could play. I don't know how anyone can ignore that or keep pointing to the healthy star player that was brought in to be the second star for walsh's plan.

wrong. you don't bring in a second star that is as redundant as melo is relative to stat. all that happens is either one player gets marginalized or displaced or they fail to mesh. there is no upside to acquiring melo, and using stat's injury status is just a convenient deflection of that reality.

What happened was the timeline for one guy to play post surgery expired and he is now a boat anchor on the salary cap. The knicks gave up a lot to have the ability to handicap themselves cap wise like that.

year one we get swept in the first round. year two we lose in five games in the first round. year three we make it to the second round and last six games.

are you saying with a healthy stoudemire we make it to the conference finals this year?

I didnt say that. I think Walsh was a disaster. However, his plan was for two stars. Amare has the worst contract in the league. Knowing his medical history, the timeline given post surgery, and the fact that his contract couldn't be insured but still signing him to a max deal put the knick franchise in a horrible hole. You weren't bumping around here last year when I was complaining about the pick he gave away to Houston Walsh was a disaster and I think in the future he will be held in the same regard as isiah and Layden.
