Hopefully we'll trade Marbury at the deadline for cap releaf and picks and continue the rebuilding.

I was with you until "Hopefully we'll trade marbury"

Please tell me you just hate marbury and honestly don't think it's a good idea to trade him for "cap relief"

Who's gonna do that for cap relief (for one) and why wouldn't we trade tim thomas or Penny instead?

other than that, I was with you in spirit.

I would sign Kwame Brown with the MLE, get some left for Ariza and Butler.

deja vu...I'm just seeing Bynum separate himself...if putting up big numbers in college is indicative of success, then the Knick coaches just refused to use Jackie:

Weaknesses: Post game is still very raw and needs work. In high school he could use his strength to get whenever he needed to (that won't be the case in the NBA). Footwork also needs improvement.... Could have done himself some good by going to college however he should still be drafted. At times he's very inconsistent and lazy on defense, especially in transition. Needs to work harder and get into better shape.

Weaknesses: Raw is the word. While he has been productive in high school, the NBA is a different world. He will be facing players his size on a regular basis. Offensively, his footwork needs much tooling…he rarely shoots the ball outside of the paint. His size won't allow him to dominate like he did in HS. He could really use a small set jumper or another post move. In addition his passing out of the post is very poor and his understanding of defenses is an area of need...Defensively, he needs to move his feet more and become more active. As a rebounder he needs to learn to get in proper position and not rely on his size and athleticism. Additionally, he must stop picking up silly fouls, especially on the offensive end…Lastly, there have been concerns about his weight and conditioning.
