Michael Jackson just exploded in his pants.

I think what oohah was trying to say was right. It's not the end of the world. Worse things have happened to the Knicks (like the Jerome James signing).

Thank you for putting that in perspective.

I think Isiah needs to remedy this error and sign a pure shooter. I believe Steve Henson is floating around...sign him up!

Or Brent Price...where he at? Sign him up!

oohah

Nobody is suggesting that this is the end of the world on it's own. The point is that it's just a continuation of the poor management by Isiah that has put us in this postition.

The deadweight and the redundant players on the roster cost the Knicks a young player with a skill that they desperately need and a 2nd rd pick next year. Yet another asset wasted for nothing.

i am collecting money to put a hit out on jerome james which will happen as soon as dnick and jared jordan clear waivers. who wants in?

Brilliant.

Anyone who defends this is an idiot and a homer. Period.

not really...

Hollywood Squares

I thought the trio was Travis Knight, Felton Spencer and Slavko Vranes

Solace - I'll take Eddy Curry, Randolph Morris and David Lee up front, to block for $200.

Rick Brunson played the point well. He simply had no jumper to rely on.

I've been on record as supportive of Isiah as GM and coach, but I am not a supporter of cutting Nichols, as I have also stated here and on the NY Times replacement forum.

I thought the same thing djsu suggested, that the $11.6 million might be in effect (although they are appealing), but clearly the $18.6 million that is James' salary over the next 3 seasons is a lot to pay for Nichols. Of course, my view is that James has barely been able to play since we signed him, is now facing a knee problem, along with his weight/out-of-shape problem, which combined causes me to wonder of the prospects of him even playing again on a reasonable level. Then add in that Nichols may be someone that other NBA teams may covet, has skills we could use down the road, and could come back to haunt us.

Many upset fans are clearly somewhat motivated by fear that this move will come back to haunt us, and I will admit that's true. We've been burnt before which surely weighs into the equation, but I'm not obsessed with the past times we've been burnt as much as the poor management of some signings and seeing other players that are much cheaper being of use, or assets to hold being given away after we made trades to get them, and demonstrating good potential.

I don't like it. I felt that with JJ being injured it should've put the cap on what is clearly a losing proposition. James is a bad move that actually got WORSE, which I didn't think was possible. When isiah 1st got him I was hoping for Hunter and ZaZa, since I felt we had a chance to get both players in stead of spending the entire MLE on James. Still I supported the idea of the move, since we needed a center. Now that James have proven that he's got no pride and will likely never give us anything, WHY keep him? Consider it a loss and take a kid who wants to play and fills a need.

Maybe DNic isn't likely to play unless there are a lot of injuries, but under what circumstances will James ever make sense to play? He can't stay on the floor. We're better off playing Morris.
Look it's not the end of the world, it's just that I'd rather have kept DNic and let James go. Bad move Isiah.

Bad move. I see VDesai's point that they expected him to go to Europe, but I think they should have eaten a bad contract to keep him or cut Fred Jones.
