So true.

And that is what angered me so much. What was the point of camp? Guys like Diago or C.J. Leslie never had a chance at all. The entire thing was pre-ordained. Just seven points in eight pre-season games for Chris Smith, poor performances, poor play...didn't matter. Chris Smith was making the team. And to think that was a GM call is ludicrous. The whole camp was just a sham. Woody's sham.

Fire Woodson!

One of the reasons Glen was demoted, was the Jr package.

Chris Smith was a package deal for two straight years. I have no doubt that Grunwald was demoted because of Bargs deal, it was awful from every aspect of basketball, and I do think Woody asked for it, Grunwald even hinted at it.

Wasn't it Dolan who pushed for the Bargs deal?

I do recall Howard beck stating pretty well that deal was all CAA related to persaude Dolan to agree....

And it was CAA, according to sources, that persuaded Dolan to make the ill-fated trade for its client Andrea Bargnani—over the concerns of the Knicks’ front office.

CAA would be agents AND players AND Coaches currently retaining them as agents. Woodson was no innocent bystander to this.

Bargnani was the next "player to be salvaged" by Woodson.

Woodson had to fire his agent and go with CAA if he wanted to coach the Knicks. I don't think he had anything to do with the Bargs deal. Not sure but was Grunwald reassigned because he didn't like the deal? Once glen was gone Woodson had no support and became a puppet that had to deal with bizarre roster management including the signing of Chris, only being allowed to play Kenyon and Amare 10 mins every other game, and no attempt to make moves to improve the roster or rid it of guys that were blatantly disrespectful to the coach.

FireWoodson, can you bump that one next please?

Be careful what you ask for. Dollars per win is going to look quite ugly!

At the current run rate of .190, Melo's salary buys us one win for for every $1,550,000 spent.

In other terminology, one Melo win per season currently = approximately one Larkin.

Well, if Larkin is the comparison, it doesn't sound so bad!
Ten wins with Melo costs the same as about sixty wins with Harden right now!

Based on current exchange rates, 6 Melos = 1 Hardin.

That might buy you a luxury condominium overlooking the Urtuskomanov River in Mongolia or a cup of coffee in Tokyo.
