Oh and there were Knick fans complaining about not having cap space to give guys like K-Mart a max contract. Early on Bosh was described as an athletic lanky kid that can shoot from the outside. But he was given a chance much like Alderman is now going to give Hill a chance to prove his worth in the league.
Cause he's nothing special?
That's why I wrote him off.
What is the fascination with him? What did he do that I missed that has a couple of fans ready to punt babies into traffic over his being traded?
I just don't see it.
You'd think we just gave up on a rookie Michael Jordan for christ sake.
ITS JORDAN F'IN HILL. It's not WILT CHAIMBERLAIN. ITS NOT TIM DUNCAN. But you'd think it was.
I just don't get it...and I don't see it...and it confuses me to see people irate over dumping the bum and his potential NON-MAX-FA-LURING contract.
Cosmic--do you ever make posts like this before the move is made---in retrospect--does it sound like I know a little bit about what I am talking about? I never killed Jordan Hill--it was fair pick from my perspective--not my pick but not a bad pick--a guy who deserved PT.

I don't think we are getting Curry--and I still think the absolute best plan of action is take Tyreke Evans 8 and do what we can to get a second pick for B J Mullens. It might not be the most popular plan with some people here--but I think it's the best plan--I really do. If Curry and Evans are gone--I think I would be concentrating on trading down and getting rid of Jefferies.
I *would* be willing to MOVE up to get EITHER Evans or Curry if the price is right with Washington.
To me Tyere is one of the most ready players in this draft--when they moved him to PG at Memphis they won 25 games in a row and while he is not a pure PG--hes easily the BP possibly available at 8 or maybe even 5--and what do we need most? Good players.
Jordan Hill Holiday or whoever else--these guys arent in Evans class. Evans is a legit 6-5+ 221 with long arms and a great handle
I think use just have to use common sense some times when doing these things . To me Evans --after watching that Memphis Mizz game cemented in my mind just how good this kid could be in up tempo.
If people dont like him because he is not a pure PG--the Knicks should take advantage of him being the best player BY FAR who could be available at 8 or possibly 5. And it will become APPARENT right away--day 1 SL just how good Tyreke Evans is.
And using common sense I go to Mullens next--if everyone thinks this draft scks---lets do what we can to get this kid with a second draft pick. Im not worried about developmental time--Im focused on talent--this is a 7-1 260 athletic C who can run the floor with some xcellent offensive skills who can play off the bench NOW--I don't want a 6-9 215 pound pseudo C--I want a C after 10 frikin years.
Id be a buyer in this draft if I could get what I wanted--if I could get Evans Mullens and Derrick Brown--to me I think we wouldve had a coup. Id spend the money if Im the Knicks.
